FROM the industrial city of Cilegon, West Java, Dhanis Martin, 32, is struggling to become a singer, songwriter, arranger and music producer with indie label CIO Productions. Dhanis’ latest voice and song work was released in 2024 and is included in Spotify titled Until you
“This is an expression of hidden and painful feelings of love but wrapped in a cool and passionate melody,” said Dhanis.
“Although I tend to like writing songs that bring a happy and joyful atmosphere, Sampai Kepadamu offers a different mood of coolness,” said Dhanis, who follows his parents in regional arts.
Another song from Dhanis that has been published via Spotify among others entitled Want Always Near You, Ordinary Friend, Morning Story, Me Trust, I Embed My Love, and Here’s a Sign.
“In music, I actually aspire to be arranger and music producer. The opportunity to sing came from Mas Handito Tjio, music producer of CIO Production. According to him, my voice was worthy of being a singer. So I released single and continue his career at CIO Production,” said Dhanis.
Dhanis’ artistic career opened up through Facebook. Through social media, Dhanis, who lives in Indramayu, West Java, connected with Handito Tjio, a music producer who lives in Cilegon.

“Mr. Han asked for help recording a song he wrote. From those jobs, I then thought about moving and settling in Cilegon since 2020,” said the graduate of the Faculty of Teacher Training and English Language Education, Wiralodra University, Indramayu.
During his time with CIO, Dhanis Martin’s creativity seemed to overflow unstoppably. “From 2020 until today, my personal songs and my joint works with Mr. Handito Tjio, there are already around 70 songs, and they can be heard through Spotify,” said the man who was born on March 29, 1992.
He admitted that since 2012, when he lived in Indramayu, he had imagined his music career as a music creator and arranger, like Max Martin, a Swedish record producer and songwriter. Max was famous in the late 1990s and wrote songs for Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Celine Dion, NSYNC, and others.

To approach Max Martin’s career path, Dhanis, whose full name is Rizki Ramadhani, then added the word Martin to his ‘trade’ name in the music industry. Dhanis, who does not master a musical instrument, also struggled to learn autodidactically via Youtube throughout two years in Indramayu.
“I happened to learn to use fruity loopsDAW, and via Facebook someone contacted me asking me to make music. After it was finished, it turned out he was satisfied. From there, I thought seriously about pursuing a career in music.”
Dhanis did not expect his career destiny to lean on him as a singer. “If I had not met Mas Han, maybe I would not have had the courage and opportunity to become a singer,” he concluded. (H-2)
