Born and raised in Makassar, Indonesia, Batik Boy spend his teenage years in The Netherlands. Here, he immersed himself in the diverse and thriving music scene, inspiring him to explore the limitless possibilities of music. After moving back to Indonesia, he decided to establish Batik Boy Radio, a unique platform that serves as a reflection of his broad musical palette.
Batik Boy sees music as a universal language that transcends borders and brings people together. His sets reflect a global sound — blending Afrobeat, Amapiano, 3 Step, Baile Funk, Latin Rhythms, and more — always with soul.
He has opened for Major League Djz, DBN Gogo, 2woBunnies, KMAT, Rosey Gold, TxC, Jay Music, DJ Tshegu, Yussef Dayes, Joe Kay (Soulection), S!RENE, Anaïs B, Tame Impala, Craig David, Jason Derulo, DJ Maseo (De La Soul), and others, and is a resident at Disko Afrika
