Career

2008–2010: Career beginning and "Andante"

Her career as a singer began when she collaborated with famous composer David Foster to perform in a concert in Jakarta.^[1] She was the vocalist of Andante, a band founded by Kevin Aprilio. In 2008 the band was reshaped and named Vierra, consisting of five members: Raisa, Widi Soediro, Raka Cyril, Satrianda Widjanarko, and Kevin Aprilio himself. She exited the band when the record's label decided it wanted a different concept.^[8]

On 25 August 2013, she opened Metallica's concert in Jakarta with Indonesian rock/metal band Seringai, performing Indonesia's national anthem "Indonesia Raya".^[12]

In 2014, Raisa was appointed as a guest judge for a television talent show: Indonesian Idol Season 8. At first, she was a guest judge but later became permanently involved.
