Kapanlagi.com - Three Indonesian folk musicians, Jason Ranti, Iksan Skuter, and Bagus Dwi Danto, officially introduced a new music unit called Trio Lesehan. Their debut is marked by the release of their first single titled "Who Has Never", exactly on February 14, 2025, coinciding with the celebration of Valentine's Day.

Jason Ranti explained that this song serves as the opening of their collaboration in Trio Lesehan. The idea of forming this new unit came as a celebration of friendship among them.

"Maybe so that this friendship is not in vain. We always seem to want to do something together. No matter what, no matter who does what, who writes, who plays guitar, it seems not to be cared about, or rather it feels just flowing along," said Jason Ranti.

1. The Beginning of Formation

Before forming Trio Lesehan, the three of them had previously been involved in a music project together called the Proyek Bahaya Laten. This project produced a full album and a joint tour in 2018. Now, through Trio Lesehan, they plan to continue the collaboration that has been established for a long time.

Iksan Skuter revealed that the difference in their hometowns presents a unique challenge. However, whenever there is an opportunity to meet, they always strive not only to have fun but also to remain productive in creating art.

"We live in different cities, different provinces. We rarely meet. So when there is an opportunity to meet, besides hanging out and laughing here and there, we definitely also want to be productive and create together," said Iksan Skuter.

2. About the First Single

The single "Who Has Never" raises the theme of two people praising each other for their loyalty in living life together. This song is wrapped in acoustic guitar strumming and vocal harmonies from the three folk musicians.

Although each has their own distinctive musical style, Jason Ranti, Iksan Skuter, and Bagus Dwi Danto successfully share roles perfectly in this song.

3. Before Trio Lesehan

Before forming Trio Lesehan, these three musicians were known for their solo works. Jason Ranti, affectionately called Jejeboy, is known as a singer from South Tangerang with a distinctive lyrical style. He has released three albums: "Akibat Pergaulan Blues" (2017), "Sekilas Info" (2019), and "Jalan Ninja" (2023). Some of his well-known songs include "Lagunya Begini Nadanya Begitu", "Variasi Pink", and "Sabda Tiang Listrik".

Iksan Skuter, a solo artist from Malang, is recognized for the strength of the lyrics in his songs. Throughout his career, he has released at least 13 full albums as well as several live session albums. Meanwhile, Bagus Dwi Danto, who was previously known by the moniker Sisir Tanah, is a singer from Yogyakarta. He has produced two full albums, namely "Woh" and "Kudu", as well as dozens of singles that often raise social and environmental themes.

4. Plans for the Future

After releasing "Who Has Never", Trio Lesehan has plans to release an album and hold a tour together.

"We want to make an album. Yes, that's right. We want to go on tour together. Yes, that's right. Hopefully the song 'Who Has Never' can be the beginning of a life adventure that is uncertain. May it be blessed," said Bagus Dwi Danto.
