Career

Krishna started his professional career in music when he was 21. He joined some bands and performed in the café or hotel. Sometimes he would perform solo or played some pop music with a band. In other occasion he would play standard tunes with jazz quartet[1] formation. He finally met Suriandika Satjadibrata and Baim in 1997. The three young men agreed to form a band called Ada Band. Seharusnya was the first album released in 1997 and the song with the same title got the success. Krishna successfully brought Ada Band[2] to be one of the popular bands in the country. Masih, Yang Terbaik Bagimu, Haruskah Ku Mati, and Manusia Bodoh are some of the hit. Ada Band on the other hand was able to feature Dave Koz to play 'Masih'. Meanwhile, he was not completely forgot jazz and released a solo album 'Sign of Eight' in 2002, his first jazz album.[3] Indra Lesmana, Gilang Ramadhan, Dewa Budjana, Tohpati[4] and Indro Hardjodikoro contributed to Krishna’s[5] jazz[6] project. It was in 2007 when he decided to start his solo career and formed Krishna and The New Spectrum. EMI music Indonesia produced the album with many popular artists such as Ian Kasela, Dudi Yovie Nuno, Happy Salma, Zacky 'Kapten' and many more. This album was prepared in the orchestra touch.
