Rich Brian

Rich Brian is an Indonesian rapper, record producer, and songwriter. Still in his teens, he is known as one of the most promising teenage music idols in the country. He rose to fame in 2016, following the release of his debut single, ‘Dat $tick.’ The song was later certified “gold” by the ‘Recording Industry Association of America’ (RIAA). Born and raised in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, he was mostly homeschooled by his parents. They lived in a lower middle-class neighborhood. In 2010, he discovered the world of social media and began exploring the platform by uploading videos such as comedy sketches. He taught himself English by watching ‘YouTube’ videos and listening to American songs. When he was 14 years old, he recorded his very first rap song. In February 2018, he released his debut album, ‘Amen,’ and became one of the very few Indonesian musicians to achieve considerable success in the American mainstream music industry.
