Early life
Dhani Ahmad Prasetyo was born in 1972 in Surabaya, East Java, as the first of three children of Eddy Abdul Manaf, a Sundanese immigrant from Garut, West Java, and Joyce Theresia Pamela Kohler, an Indonesian of German descent. Dhani denied rumors that his maternal grandfather, Jan Pieter Friederich Kohler, a German immigrant in the then-Dutch-occupied country in 1883, was an Ashkenazi Jew. Dhani said that his mother and grandfather were German Catholics.
Dadang S. Manaf, Dhani's older brother, is a well-known Indonesian musician and had a major influence on Dhani's musical interests from his childhood. When Dhani's father was young and enrolled him for music lessons, he hoped that Dhani would excel in classical music. Dhani was influenced by the British rock band Queen.
Personal life
Despite the fact that Dhani was born in Surabaya, he is actually a Sundanese and has Sumedang and Garut ancestry. Maia Estianty married Dhani in 1996 after a long friendship when Maia was still attending high school in Surabaya. They have three children named after prominent Sufi figures whom Dhani reveres, including Ahmad Al Ghazali, Ahmad El Jalaluddin Rumi, and Abdul Qodir Jaelani. Dhani and Maia made collective infidelity accusations in late 2006, resulting in Maia's divorce request. The South Jakarta Rabbit Court annulled their marriage on September 23, 2008.
Dhani has been dubbed one of Indonesia's richest entertainers.
In August 2013, Dhani confessed to having fathered Saafea, along with singer Mulan Jameela.
Career
In 1986, Dhani formed Dewa, Erwin Prasetya, and Henry Juniarso, the first musical group formed. Dhani served as the group's vocalist and keyboardist. He skipped school to jam with his classmates at Juniarso's house in the Airlangga University complex.
While in Dewa, Dhani became involved in jazz, and Dewa changed its name to Down Beat. Down Beat took home the Youth Jazz Festival in East Java. It also won the inaugural Festival 90, a high school band competition that was part of the Djarum Super Fiesta Musical. The band, on the other hand, renamed themselves "Dewa 19" with a new vocalist, Ari Lasso.
Because of a lack of modern recording studios in Surabaya, Dhani moved to Jakarta in 1989 in search of a historic Dewa 19. Dewa 19 was signed to Team Records by Jan Djuhana after being rejected by several labels. Dewa 19 (1992), the band's first album, was a huge success, with a string of hits including Kangen and Kita Tidak Sedang Bercinta Lagi. It was the best-selling Indonesian rock album of 1993 and took home Best Newcomer at the Indonesian Music Awards.
Dhani contributed to produce the band's 11 albums, which included Dewa 19 (1992), Format Masa Depan (1994), Pandawa (2002), Cinta (2004), Republik Cinta (2005), and Kerajaan Cinta (2007). During several staff changes, Dewa 19 remained one of the key players in Indonesia's music scene, with Dhani as its driving force until he died in 2011.
Laskar Cinta (Warriors of Love), Dhani's best-selling solo album, was lauded because it "challenged radical ideology."
Dhani formed the Rock Band, which was defunct after Dewa disbanded. Master Mister Ahmad Dhani I, the band's first album, has sold more than 150,000 copies in Indonesia. It featured three new songs and seven covers of Dhani's older songs. "Kamu Kamulah Surgaku" and "Munajat Cinta" were two of the album's hits.
Dhani appeared in TRIAD, an acronym that stands for the Rock Indonesia Ahmad Dhani band. Unlike the Rock, TRIAD has five to six members onstage and occasionally four members, with Dhani as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist. Triad's self-titled album has sold 500,000 copies. "Selir Hati," "Benar Salah IDolaku," "Mama," and "Sedang Mikirin Kamu," were among the seven main tracks, including Queen's "Mustapha" and "Mama."
Dhani performed with Ari Lasso at concerts in Jakarta and Bali in 2010, sparking rumors of a Dewa 19 reunion. Dhani revealed in Bali that he would form a band with Judika, the 2007 champion of Indonesian Idol. Dhani revealed that the new band would be named Mahadewa, which would replace Dewa 19, which he said was still present but in a void. Dewa 19 had debunked suggestions, according to Dewa's chief. "I will concentrate on Mahadewa, my new band, and Dewa 19" still exists, he said. Mahadewa's debut album, which contains five new songs and five covers of Dewa 19 songs, will be announced in January 2012. "Cinta Itu Buta," the album's first single, was released in mid-2012. Because Dhani was preoccupied with his duties as a judge on Indonesian Idol and X Factor Indonesia, the complete album's release was stalled. Nevertheless, he made time for some reunion shows with former Dewa 19 residents in several major cities in Indonesia. Past to Present, Mahadewa's long-awaited debut album, was released in 2013. A few weeks before the 2014 presidential election, he also released his first song in Javanese, Aja Kuwi (Don't Choose Him).
