JAKARTA - Jason Ranti, Iksan Skutter and Bagus Dwi Danto are working on the latest music project that they call Trio Lesehan. The three folk musicians also officially debuted through their debut single entitled, "Who Never".

This song itself was released on the momentum of Valentine's Day, February 14 yesterday. With the character of the three unique musicians, this collaboration offers its own color.

Through a written statement, Jason Ranti, who is familiarly called Jejeboy, explained that the single "Who Never" was the opening number for their collaboration in the Trio Lesehan unit. The idea of forming this new entity, comes to celebrate their friendship.

"Maybe so that this friendship is not in vain. It's like we always want to do something together. I don't know what, I don't know who it will be, who it is, who wrote, who played the guitar, it doesn't seem like it's being ignored, or it's just an odd feeling," Jason Ranti said in a press release received on February 15.

Jason Ranti himself is known to the public as a solo singer from South Tangerang. Currently, he has released 3 full albums each entitled "Akibat Kekerjaan Blues" (2017), "Sekilas Info" 2019, and "Jalan Ninja" (2023).

Meanwhile, Iksan Skutter is a soloist from Malang, East Java. His name is so fragrant in the folk arena because of the strength of the lyrics in his works. Throughout his musical career, he has released at least 13 full albums, as well as several live sessions.

Bagus Dwi Danto himself, also known as the Tanah Comb, is a singer from Yogyakarta who has released at least two full albums entitled "Woh" and "Kugu", as well as dozens of other singles with mostly social and environmental themes.

"We live in different cities, different provinces. We rarely meet. So when there is an opportunity to meet, apart from wara-wiri and haha-hihi here and there, of course we also want to be productive and work together," said Iksan Skutter.

In the lyrics, Trio Lesehan's single "Who Never" raises the theme of two people who praise each other for their loyalty to living a life together. Wrapped in acoustic guitar, Jason Ranti's vocal harmonization, Iksan Skutter and Bagus Dwi Danto are perfectly divided into this song.

The production process for the song, written by Jason Ranti and Iksan, was carried out at the Kua Etnika studio, Yogyakarta, involving the name Rama Satria as a figure in charge of mixing and mastering lines.

Previously, Jason Ranti, Iksan Skutter and Bagus Dwi Danto had been involved in a collaboration project nicknamed the Latent Danger Project and had released a full album and joint tour in 2018. Through the Trio Lesehan unit, the three of them have plans to continue working together.

"We want to make an album. Yes, that's the case. We want to go on tour together. Yes, that's the way it is. Hopefully, the song 'Who Never' can be the beginning of an adventure in life that somehow. Hopefully, it's a blessing," said Bagus Dwi Danto.
