Early life

Pamungkas' introduction to music began at the age of 8, when he took drum lessons at the prompting of his mother, who had hoped that his hearing might improve in his left ear, which is half deaf. [3] The drum lessons did not last long because Pamungkas wanted to drum fast, when he was taught to play slowly in stages. He also tried learning the piano and guitar by himself; his guitar lessons had lasted only one month. At the age of 10, he told his father that he wanted to pursue music and not go to school. His father, who owns an artist management company named Oxygen Entertainment, got him to join the crew of a number of band tours. [3]

After elementary school, Pamungkas attended SMP 200 Jakarta. While still at school, he performed at a café called La Piazza, where he was able to earn a regular income. Uninterested in formal education in school, he was eventually homeschooled for a year and 8 months. [3]

Pamungkas delayed going to college for 4 years, eventually went to study Visual Communication Design at Paramadina University in 2014. [1] even though he was also accepted for the Jakarta Arts Institute as well as for studying music at Pelita Harapan University. [3]

Music career

Pamungkas joined a band called Potenzio in 2009, and they released an album titled Jingga. [4]

Pamungkas released his debut solo album, Walk the Talk, in 2018 to popular acclaim. The album was in fact first released in 2017 with 10 songs, but re-released in 2018 with six more songs and a new cover. Most of the songs are written in English but three are in Indonesian. [2] Songs in the album such as "Sorry", "One Only" and "Kenangan Manis" ("Sweet Memories") received over 30 million streams. [5]

In 2019, he released his second album Flying Solo. This was followed by remixed albums of Walk The Talk as well as Flying Solo, and in 2020 The End Of Flying Solo Era. [5]

In 2020, he released Solipsism and then a reworked companion album Solipsism 0.2 in 2021. Pamungkas became the most-streamed Indonesian artist in 2020 on Spotify Wrapped list. The Walk the Walk album was also the most-streamed album of 2020 in Indonesia, and the track "One Only" one of the top five most-streamed Indonesian songs. [6]

In June 2022, Pamunkas released an album titled Birdy. [10] The title track was released as a single, however, it caused controversy when it was revealed to show similarity to Charles Bukowski's poem "The Bluebird".
