JAKARTA – Indonesian singer Baskara Putra, known professionally as Hindia, achieved a major milestone on Saturday, June 13, 2026. He took home a prestigious trophy from the Music Awards Japan 2026 at the Toyota Arena in Tokyo. Specifically, Hindia won the Special Award: Indonesian Popular Music for his hit song everything u are. This achievement brings immense pride to the Indonesian music community. In the previous year, singer Salma Salsabil won the same category with her song Bunga Hati.
The official social media accounts of the Music Awards Japan shared the exciting victory with fans worldwide. When the hosts announced his name, Hindia walked straight to the stage to receive his prize. He wore a classic white shirt paired with a sharp black tie for the special night. After the ceremony, he proudly showed his trophy alongside his backing band members. Furthermore, Hindia energized the audience by performing everything u are live on the grand stage.
Following his big win, Hindia did an interview on the event’s glamorous red carpet. He later shared clips of this interview on his personal Instagram account. During the conversation, Hindia expressed his immense joy about participating in such a prestigious Japanese music event. He admitted that he never expected to stand on that stage. “This whole experience feels completely surreal to me,” Hindia stated during the interview. He added that he never imagined himself reaching this height.
The Story Behind the Music
The winning track, everything u are, delivers a deep message about self-acceptance and gratitude. Hindia originally created this song as part of the Doves mixtape project, titled 25 on Blank Canvas. The team recorded the musical instruments at Rekam Kamar Studio between late 2024 and early 2025. Consequently, Hindia launched the official audio across digital music platforms on February 24, 2025. Exactly one month later, on March 19, 2025, he dropped the official music video for the fans.
Creative Minds and Collaboration
The song succeeds because it combines deep personal emotions with an excellent indie music arrangement. Prominent music figures managed the production to ensure a high-quality final track. Eventually, the independent music label Sun Eater released the song. Baskara Putra wrote the lyrics himself. In addition, he composed the music together with Iga Massardi and Pradipta Beawiharta. Iga Massardi served as the main producer, while Mohammed Kamga assisted with the music arrangement.
A talented group of musicians and technical experts supported Hindia during the recording process. Bagas Wisnu Wardhana played the drums, while Iga Massardi handled the guitar. Pradipta Beawiharta contributed the bass and synthesizer tracks. Meanwhile, Mohammed Kamga directed the vocals, and Kevin Queency engineered them. Rama Harto managed the recording engineering tasks perfectly. Finally, Dimas Pradipta completed the mixing and mastering process to give the song its award-winning sound.
