A notable figure in Indonesian entertainment, Judika has made a name for himself both on stage and the big screen.
The Indonesian actor-singer, who starred in movies such as Fire Squad (2008), has released seven albums and been a judge on singing talent shows, such as Indonesian Idol (2004 to present) and X Factor Indonesia (2012 to present).
The 45-year-old’s hits include the sad love song Bagaimana Kalau Aku Tidak Baik Baik Saja (2021), which looks back on a relationship with hurt and regret. It was inspired by the South Korean television series Crash Landing On You (2019 to 2020).
