Kapanlagi.com - Rian Ekky Pradipta, the vocalist of the famous music group d'Masiv, is known for his distinctive voice and contributions to the Indonesian music industry. However, who would have thought that this man, who has been building his career since 2003, has interesting facts that are rarely known to the public.

Behind his success with d'Masiv, it turns out that Rian cannot drive a car or a motorcycle. This is quite surprising considering his busy schedule and high mobility. Here are some explanations for KLOvers:

In 2003, Rian formed a band with Dwiki Aditya Marsall, Nurul Damar Ramadan, Rayyi Kurniawan, and Wahyu Piadji while they were still in high school. The original name of the band was 'Massive', taken from their great hopes for achieving success. However, their journey was not easy. Rian and his friends often participated in various competitions to make a name in the music industry.

Their struggles paid off when they won the A Mild Live Wanted music competition in 2007, which brought them into the Musica Studio label. Since then, their band name was changed to d'Masiv.

2. Success Through the Debut Album

In 2008, d'Masiv released their debut album titled Perubahan, which contained 12 songs. One of the hit singles, "Cinta Ini Membunuhku", successfully captured public attention and dominated the charts on various national radio stations. This success became a starting point for d'Masiv's long journey in the Indonesian music industry.

The success of the debut album was followed by a mini album with a religious theme in 2009, released to welcome the month of Ramadan. As of 2019, Rian and d'Masiv have launched 12 albums, including compilation albums and mini albums.

3. A Private Life That Is Closed Off

Rian is known as someone who tends to be closed off about his personal life. He married Sri Ayu Murtisari in September 2012 and has two children, Euralia Cassidy Rian and Andi Aria Radyakaya Rian. Their family relationship is known to be harmonious and far from any negative gossip.

4. Unique Fact, Rian Cannot Drive

Despite his success, there is an interesting fact that is surprising: Rian, who is now almost 38 years old, cannot drive a car or a motorcycle. "For me, the important thing is that the car is safe and comfortable. I just need to be able to sleep. Because I can’t drive a car, and I can’t ride a motorcycle either," Rian stated at the Suzuki booth during the GIIAS 2024 exhibition.

In the past, d'Masiv received a Suzuki APV car as a prize after winning a music festival. The car was used by the band members to learn how to drive, but Rian's turn was always filled with transporting tour equipment, so he never had the chance to learn.
