Tika and The Dissidents

Kartika Jahja, or TIKA as she is known, is a solo singer who choses a different path than most Indonesian so-called divas. Having gone thru a colorful musical evolution, where she sang for Jazz bands, Electronic and even Punk bands, TIKA finally decides to stick with whatever flows out of her soul. "Paint the picture first, think of the frame later." is what she said "I'm just trying to capture whatever comes out before it washes away and then think about genre, marketing and all that after.
