Djajuk Ferianto was born in Yogyakarta, July 19, 1964.

Since 1972 he has often worked on soap

opera music illustrations, advertising jingles, musical arrangements for theater performances, to
appearing with his group in musical performances in various countries. In music, he concentrates
more on extracting traditional music.
In art, Djaduk relies on the strength of music with a strong ethnic base. Understandably. From
his father who was also an excellent artist, Djajuk became an ideal example of a successful
musician who did not have a formal musical art education background. He is a self-taught
musician, dealing with the world of music more on a matter of talent. Because of this, his works
are often surprising, breaking out of the so-called "pakem" or musical rules that have been
adhered to by traditional musicians.
Most of Djaduk's creation originated from musical phenomena. A simple main melody is
developed again to be more complex and rigorous, and so on. He is more or less against the
current trend of (contemporary) music creation which tries to connect works with the phenomena
of life as a concept.
The film Soegija, one of the monumental works of Djaduk and several of his colleagues, was
released on June 17, 2012. This film tells the story of the struggle of Mgr Albertus
Soegijapranata, the first indigenous bishop in the history of the Indonesian Catholic Church,
during the Japanese colonial era. Soegija is also a figure of struggle and was declared a national
hero on July 26, 1963. This film, which was directed by Garin Nugroho, successfully won the
Indonesian Record Museum (MURI) award in May 2012, the category of films with the most
languages and players.
From the figures above, we can conclude that even though as a minority, we don't need to feel
inferior or ashamed in developing our talents in producing works. With our talents, we can
introduce our respective traditional cultures to the outside world.
