Long Absence from the Music Stage, This is Erwin Prasetya's Job Before Passing Away

Kapanlagi.com - After leaving Dewa19, Erwin Prasetya did not simply leave the Indonesian music stage. Shortly after leaving, he joined NuKLa with Katong Bagaskara and others.

After leaving NuKLa, Erwin started a new project. Specifically, in 2006, he created a band project called EVO which searched for its vocalist through a reality show on TV.

Unfortunately, the band led by Erwin along with several talented musicians only released one hit single before disbanding. Although they immediately gained many fans, this band only lasted a short time in the Indonesian music scene.

After that, Erwin started a new project called Zoom Band. However, like before, the project with Zoom Band did not last long and disbanded before it made a big impact in Indonesia.

Erwin then decided to return to Surabaya but he was still not far from the world of music. Until recently, Erwin was still involved in the field he loved by becoming a local judge in a talent search event, Indonesian Idol.

2. Return to Jakarta

After spending a long time in Surabaya, Erwin returned to Jakarta in the past 3 years. Bens Leo revealed that Erwin continued to work in a music-related field.

"Mas Erwin is very loyal to music. He often composes songs, arranges songs. In the early 2000s, I worked with him when he was an arranger. But lately, he has been working on advertising jingles," said Bens.

This was the last job that Erwin Prasetya had before passing away. During his final days, Erwin was close to Bens, to the point of consulting about his stomach pain with Bens' wife, who is a music observer.

3. Buried in Surabaya

But now Erwin is no longer with us, the former bassist of Dewa 19 has returned to the presence of God YME on Saturday, (2/5) precisely in the month of Ramadan. The deceased's body was brought back to Surabaya by the family and is planned to be buried there.

If the plan goes well, Erwin will be buried in Keputih, Surabaya later this afternoon. The family is currently still on their way to Surabaya by land route.
