Ari lasso

Life after fronting one of the biggest rock bands in Indonesian history has proven surprisingly good to ARI LASSO. Instead of being haunted by the specter of Dewa 19, the multiplatinum group he joined back in 1992, the singer gradually eased into a superstardom of his own. As he made the transition by performing duets with singers like Melly Goeslaw, Ari began recording songs that he had been writing since 1997, when he left the band after four albums. Several years later, Ari was ready to release his first solo effort "Sendiri Dulu."

That album (which loosely translated means "Alone") defied all expectations and sold 100,000 copies in two weeks. After six months more than 500,000 copies had been sold, making it one of the best selling albums of 2001. The newly platinum-selling artist had found his niche and, after a tour, was ready once again head into the studio. This time, though, he wanted to get back to his roots in rock. He enlisted the help of former band members in Dewa and guitarist Piyu from Padi and left the pop behind. That decision paid off and "Keseimbangan" became one of the hottest cds in 2003. The following year, his third album "Kulihat, Kudengar, Kurasa" also flew off the shelves and soon after the only place he found himself "alone" was at the top of the charts.
