Perhaps no one typifies the brilliance of the

emerging local musician more than the young

jazz pianist, Erik Sondhy. Erik is a bold and
intense musician, willing and able to adapt and
extemporize with seamless ease. His range of
styles it seems, knows no barriers. He started
playing at the tender age of 11 at church
recitals and his musical freedom is possibly
because he is self-taught and was not
constrained by tutors, style or their musical
preferences. His current CV reads like a whos
who of Indonesian jazz and he is certainly one
of Indonesias rising jazz stars.
