JAKARTA - Mahardhika Soekarno has stepped in as music producer for Rafika Nurhadi's latest work. The man, familiarly known as Didi, handled the arrangements, production, and overall musical nuances that shape Rafika's identity.
Their collaboration began with the single "Tak Ada" (January 2025), which conveyed an intimate and longing feel. Then, in September 2025, they released "Suluh," a continuation of Rafika's musical story with a classical-modern touch.
Through these two works, Mahardhika successfully balances folk intimacy, ambient depth, and the power of emotional arrangements. He feels Rafika has a distinctive vocal character that he can help maximize.
"Rafika has a distinctive voice that fits perfectly with the singles Tak Ada and Suluh. Just a little touch makes the music blend with the sound, very emotional," said Didi Soekarno in a written statement on September 22.
For Rafika, Mahardhika is not only a producer, but also a creative mentor who helps her translate every emotion into a vibrant sound that touches the listener's heart.
Behind each of Rafika's releases, Didi Soekarno is a sound engineer who bridges artistic exploration and production quality, delivering music that is authentic, relevant, and full of soul.
Besides Rafika, Mahardhika Soekarno has also transformed Cita Rahayu, formerly known as Cita Citata. Cita Rahayu recently released a single titled Niscaya Nirkala, which caused a stir due to its association with a cult.
