Danilla Riyadi, Indonesia’s Best Alternativ­e Artist to perform at Sunbear Festival

- KUCHING:

Indonesian songstress/actress Danilla Riyadi is set to make her appearance at the inaugural homegrown music and arts show, Sunbear Festival 2022.

To be held at Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV) on Dec 9 and 10, the versatile songstress known for her distinctiv­e alto vocal range and laid-back singing style is set to serenade the masses with her indie rock, Java-originated genre of dangdut and 80s disco vibes hits.

Coming from a family whose roots are deeply entrenched within the Indonesian music scene, the award-winning Danilla in her early years felt that she did not have the right voice to consider herself pursuing a profession­al career as a singer.

However, with support and encouragem­ent from her mother and uncle, Danilla made her debut in 2010 and the rest is history.

Her debut album ‘Telisik’ was named as 2014’s Best New Act by Rolling Stone Indonesia, while her sophomore album ‘Lintasan Waktu’ was nominated for Indonesian Choice Awards 2018’s Album of the Year.

She made her acting debut in 2019 as Nova in Indonesian film, Koboy Kampus.

Earlier this year, Danilla released her third album ‘Pop Seblay’. To date, she has released three albums and one EP titled ‘Fingers’.

In October this year, she won the Best Alternativ­e Artist at Indonesia’s Anugerah Musik Indonesia (AMI) Awards 2022.

Festival-goers are to bring three Sunbear logo cut-outs published in The Borneo Post print edition, along with reports on the festival to Tirta Barong at Wayang Street here to redeem a 30 per cent off for one ticket.
