Early Life and Education
Roy CDC was born on May 7, 1994, in Jakarta, Indonesia. He was raised by his parents, Heru Soewarno and Megawati Purnomo, alongside his sisters, Sonia and Stephanie, and his younger brother, Rich Brian, the internationally recognized rapper.
Growing up in a creative household where music played a central role, Roy developed an early interest in electronic music and digital production.
He completed his primary and secondary education in Indonesia before dedicating himself to developing his skills as a DJ and music producer.
Coming from a mixed Chinese and Manado background, his childhood was deeply shaped by his Chinese-Indonesian heritage and his family’s Christian faith.
Career
Roy CDC kicked off his professional journey in 2016, quickly making waves in Jakarta’s nightlife scene with his unique take on heavy EDM and trap music.
Operating initially as a solo artist, he demonstrated a deep understanding of bass music by dropping self-produced tracks such as “Rendang” in 2017 and “Painful” in 2019.
He spent years working hard in local clubs, building a respected reputation as an incredibly sharp, technical DJ rather than simply riding the wave of his younger brother’s international success.
His steady persistence paid off as he became a staple performer at major Indonesian electronic music events and festivals.
His career reached an exciting new peak in late 2023 when he was officially named as the newest member of Weird Genius, the massive Indonesian electronic group famous for global hits like “Lathi.”
Joining forces with frontman Reza Arap and Eka Gustiwana, he immediately shifted the group’s musical style toward a more mature, club-ready direction.
Making his grand debut with the trio at the Scream or Dance festival, he has played a major role in expanding the group’s international reach and pushing their music into global markets.
He continues to play packed festival stages and produce massive electronic tracks, cementing a fantastic legacy as one of Southeast Asia’s most influential modern DJs.
