Radja is an Indonesian rock band.[1]

History

Radja formed in Banjarmasin, Indonesia on 17 March 1999 and originally consisted of brothers Ian Kasela (vocals) and Moldy Kusnadi (guitar), as well drummer Adit Taher, and bassist Shuma.[2][3][4] In their early days, the band performed in exchange for Nasi Bungkus, a humble Indonesian rice dish, at local cafes.[5] Their name is a form of raja, meaning "king".[6]

In 2001, the band debuted with Lepas Masa Lalu.[7] Unfortunately, due to their label's failure to properly market the album, it never gained any traction and was overall considered a flop.[8][9] Shuma and Adit left the band not long after and were replaced with bassist Indra Riwayat and drummer Seno Wilbowo.[3][10] Their second album, Manusia Biasa, sold only 60,000 copies when it was released in 2003.[9][7]

Their third album, Langkah Baru, was the first Radja released under EMI Music Indonesia and was significantly more successful.[11][12] Though it contained three new songs, it was primarily a "repackaging" of tracks from previous albums; nonetheless, it sold 1.2 million copies upon its release in 2004 and soared to platinum status in Indonesia.[7][13][11][9] It was one of the top 15 best-selling albums of the year from the EMI Group.[13]

In 2006, they re-released Aku Ada Karena Kau Ada[10] and debuted 1000 Bulan ("1,000 Months"), an Islam themed album, producing 75,000 copies which were only available during that year's Ramadhan.[14] The band's next album was launched in April 2008, titled Membumi.[15]

Because of conflicts over what type of labels to work with,[5] Indra and Seno left the band in 2010 to form Audio Jet and were replaced by Oji, Muhammad Vidin, and Radja keyboardist and synthesizer Aldi Rizky.[16][17] Seno and Indra returned in 2015.[2][10] Radja went on a brief hiatus, wherein they did not release music for three years; Ian claims this is due to the band's difficulty adapting to a more digital music market.[18][19] In 2018, they established their own record label, Istana Musik.[20][19]

In 2020, they released a new single, "Jangan Mudik Dulu", urging listeners to stay home and take precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic.[21][22] It also speculates that the COVID-19 pandemic is God's will.[22] They also released "Hidup dan Mati".[22] Their 2021 single, "Sapu Jagat", which focuses on Muslim prayer, was accused of plagiarizing Nissa Sabyan, which Radja denied.[23][24]

Radja fans are referred to as Radjaku.[25]
