Lyodra

Lyodra Margaretha Ginting (June 21, 2003), better known as Lyodra, is a pop singer from Northern Sumatra in Indonesia. She rose to fame in 2017 by winning the 2017 Sanremo Junior Festival and further raised her profile by participating in the tenth season of reality music competition Indonesian Idol. Born in Medan to a devout Catholic family, Lyodra took part in several singing competitions from a very early age and received vocal training by reputed vocal coach Derta Puba. During her teenage years, she studied under Indonesian composer Erwin Gutawa and made several appearances in national events such as the 2016 Java Jazz Festival and performed with Gutawa’s Above Average project at an event that commemorated the Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia at Jakarta’s Merdeka Palace. Following her victory at the 2017 Sanremo Junior Festival with the Gutawa-penned “Dear Dream,” which was later released as a single, she became a contestant on the tenth season of Indonesian Idol in 2019, reaching the grand finale and winning first place by beating Tiara Anugrah with the track “Star of My Heart.” This triumph marked a new phase in Lyodra’s career as she released the 2020 singles “Gemintang Hatiku” and “Tentang Kamu,” which broke into the Indonesian Top 100 and earned her a win at the Terrible Awards in the category of Best Newcomer.
