Hello Listeners!
In this episode, we had the opportunity to have a conversation with Rasyiqa
Born and raised in South Jakarta, Rasyiqa is a dreamer who loved to imagine, with a TV remote in hand and the sound of music from her brother’s room always echoing through the walls. As a child, she often dreamed of a double life like Hannah Montana: a regular girl by day, a star on stage by night.
After college, that dream seemed to fade away. Working behind the scenes in the music industry felt like the more practical path. But a heartbreak in her mid-20s opened up a new direction. Writing songs became her way of processing her emotions. In September 2021, she decided to release her debut single, “Reckless,” a birthday gift to herself on her 25th.
From there, Rasyiqa began building a catalog of songs that felt like pages from her diary, each reflecting an emotional phase of her life. Singles like “Get Up! (Get Out!)” and “I’ve Had Enough” expressed insecurity and angst, captured through rom-com/sitcom-style music videos. Meanwhile, “2:15 (Steph’s Song)” and “A Song for Someone Else” offered a more mellow and contemplative "sad girl" vibe.
In late 2023, Rasyiqa released “Waiting on Fireworks,” a reflective track that served as an emotional bridge from hurt to hope. Early in 2024, “Two Shades of Blue” was released, signaling a soft, hopeful portrayal of falling in love. In 2025, she released “Just Like That,” her first collaboration with Dennis Ferdinand, introducing a more optimistic tone that mirrors the current chapter in her life.
All of these experiences are captured in ’Reckless’, her debut album set for release in August 2025. This album ties together the threads from her previously released tracks, alongside new material that represents the journey of growing up — from heartbreak to falling in love again, from anger to reconciliation.
For Rasyiqa, music is a way to make sense of everything — from her heartbreak experience, the process of maturing, and the quiet spaces in between. She writes for the late bloomers, the overthinkers, and anyone who needs a song that understands what it feels like.
