Pamungkas

Rizki Rahmahadian Pamungkas (born 14 April 1993), better known by his stage name Pamungkas, is an Indonesian singer, record producer, songwriter, and actor.

Early life Pamungkas' introduction to music began at the age of 8, when he took drum lessons at the prompting of his mother, who had hoped that his hearing might improve in his left ear, which is half deaf.

After elementary school, Pamungkas attended SMP 200 Jakarta. While still at school, he performed at a café called La Piazza, where he was able to earn a regular income. Uninterested in formal education in school, he was eventually homeschooled for a year and 8 months.

Pamungkas released his debut solo album, Walk the Talk, in 2018 to popular acclaim. The album was in fact first released in 2017 with 10 songs, but re-released in 2018 with six more songs and a new cover. Most of the songs are written in English but three are in Indonesian.

In 2019, he released his second album Flying Solo. This was followed by remixed albums of Walk The Talk as well as Flying Solo, and in 2020 The End Of Flying Solo Era.

In April 2021, Pamungkas' song "To the Bone" from Flying Solo became the longest-running top song on Spotify's Indonesia Top 50 chart. The video for the song has received over 240 million views on YouTube by July 2022.

He recorded two covers of songs by Dewa 19 in 2021: "Pupus" and "Risalah Hati".

In June 2022, Pamungkas released an album titled Birdy. The title track was released as a single, however, it caused controversy when it was revealed to show similarity to Charles Bukowski's poem "The Bluebird". He announced his first tour outside Indonesia, starting with shows in Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
