“There weren’t a lot of female artists in that world back then,” Poetri muses, her voice imbued with determination. “So, I see myself wanting to fulfill that position and make songs that have a little bit of edge. I want to put some more femininity into indie rock.”

Poetri’s Sublime Musical Journey
Poetri, raised in Indonesia with musical roots from her parents, found inspiration in Kygo’s tropical house and K-pop melodies. Initially aspiring to produce tropical house, K-pop led her to songwriting. Serendipitously, she released “I Love You 3000” in 2019, a viral sensation with over 365 million streams, a captivating DIY music video, and a remix featuring Jackson Wang.

After that life-changing producing class, Stephanie embraced her true calling, becoming a prolific songwriter, continuously sharing her soulful melodies with the world.
“Invited” and “Astrologically Illogical” follow the release of Poetri’s collaborative tracks, “No Explanations” (with Elephante and ZHANG YANQI)” and “Breakfast in Bed (with gnash).” Poetri is set to grace the stage at the esteemed Head in the Clouds Festival in Los Angeles, CA on August 5th and 6th.
