Fiersa Besari (born 3 March 1984) is an Indonesian singer, songwriter, musician and author.[2] He is best known for his music, which is often described as an "indie music" style. Besari has made several albums, including Tempat Aku Pulang (2014) and Konspirasi Alam Semesta (2015) and has recorded hit songs including "Celengan Rindu", "Waktu yang Salah" dan "April".
As an author, he has produced six novels and also involved as one of the founders of Komunitas Pecandu Buku (English: Book Addict Community). Besari is also active as a mountaineering content creator. He is starting Atap Negeri journey where he will climb 33 mountains in 33 provinces in Indonesia which will be uploaded on his YouTube channel.[3]
Music career[edit]
Besari began his career as a vocalist for several indie bands, such as Hellfairies and Eat Well Earl. Eat Well Earl was formed by Fiersa and his friends with their song "Standing Next To You". However, the band disbanded when Besari's friends got married one-by-one, which then forced him to pursue a solo career.
In 2009 he has been recording and storing music from ballad songs he wrote which were later compiled into an album. Besari then decided to sell his album in 2012.[4] "Melangkah Tanpamu" is the embryo of his works and 11:11 is his first album, which six years later becomes a book with the same title.[5]
His music takes a long time to become widely known. Songs such as "April" which was composed in 2012, then "Celengan Rindu," "Waktu yang Salah," and "Tempat Aku Pulang" which was released from the album Tempat Aku Pulang (2014), as well as "Juara Kedua, " "Rumah," "Kau," "Garis Terdepan," "Nadir," and "Hingga Napas Ini Habis" which were released from the album Konspirasi Alam Semesta (2015) were popular as the late 2010s approached.
As of December 2018, Besari is on the Billboard Social 50 chart, a chart that ranks the most active musical artists on the world's leading social networking services. He is ranked 49th, above Ed Sheeran who is ranked 50th.[6] His song, "Pelukku untuk Pelikmu" was also lined up to become the soundtrack for the 2019 Indonesian film Imperfect.
Writing[edit]
Besari made his debut as an author with his novel, Garis Waktu, published by Media Kita in 2016. The novel was later adapted into a film in by Dapur Film and MD Pictures with the same title. The film was directed by Jeihan Angga and starred Michelle Ziudith, Reza Rahadian and Anya Geraldine and was released in cinemas throughout Indonesia on 24 February 2022.[7]
The rest of his novels are, Konspirasi Alam Semesta (2017), Catatan Juang (2017), Arah Langkah (2018), 11:11 (2018) and Tapak Jejak (2019).
