JAKARTA - Onadio Leonardo's name has again become a public conversation after his confession of the dark times in the past, when he was involved in drug abuse at a young age. Although he was never caught legally, his honest story about the struggle to get out of addiction became a strong reflection of the dark side of the entertainment world which is often hidden behind the spotlight of the stage lights. From that bitter experience, Onad actually grew into a more open, courageous and authentic figure, making him one of the public figures who is not only known by his work, but also his courage to face the past.

Onadio Leonardo was born with the full name Leonardo Arya on January 4, 1990, in Jakarta. He became known to the public as a musician and actor in the entertainment industry, became a vocalist, actor, presenter, and YouTuber.

Personally, Onad married Beby Prisillia on June 29, 2019. This couple was blessed with a son named Juan Gianluca Leonardo Wage who was born on September 26, 2019 and Janeera Deluca Leonardo Wage was born on September 8, 2025.

He is also known to adhere to Catholicism, while his wife is Muslim, which in real life they show with mutual respect.

Onad began his musical career as a bassist in the band Killing Me Inside since around 2005, before becoming a vocalist in 2009.

Together with the band, he also gained popularity through songs that echoed among rock or metal music fans in Indonesia.

In 2014, Onad decided to step down from Killing Me Inside and pursue a more free path in the entertainment world, covering the world of film, hosting, and music in a more varied format. As an actor, one of the films he starred in was Pretty Boys (2019) which received public attention.

Salah satu bagian paling honest dari perjalanan Onad adalah pengakuannya bahwa ia pernah mengodu obat terlarang' di usia 21 tahun, ketika kariernya bersama band tengah berada di puncak.

He also publicly mentioned that the reason he stopped was not only because he wanted to change, but also for fear of being caught and disappointing his family.

However, it is important to note that there is no public record that Onad has been officially arrested or underwent a legal process related to drugs, in contrast to several other artists who have been arrested. His confession is more of a personal reflection of the past.

Onad has a quite unique image, namely a flamboyian style and is not afraid to appear 'different'. He once revealed that he felt comfortable appearing with the feminine side of young people, inspired by rock vocalists who wear make-up and neat hair. This shows that he is not only musical-oriented, but also has artistic and visual sensitivity that is clear in his expression.

Onadio Leonardo is a complex figure, from the vocalist of a rock band that has a dark side in personal life, to actors or entertainment who choose to change course and focus on careers and families. Although no public evidence has been found that he has been caught in drug cases, his confession is very transparent that he has been involved in drug abuse. This makes him an example of how a person can experience low points, face reality, and choose to change.
