Windri Marieta

'Windri Marieta' (born March 13, 1986, in Jakarta, Indonesia) is a singer and song composer from Indonesia. She launched her initial album called "Jingga" in 2009. With a strong lyrics yet using simple instruments, she has successfully put two of her songs (“Jingga and “I’m so over you”) in the top position of Indonesia’s independent music charts.
The album ‘Jingga’ contains eight songs with simple acoustic arrangement consisting of 7 (seven) Indonesian songs and one hit English language song called “I’m so over you”. 4 out of 8 songs published in the album are Windri's own creation, while the rest of the songs are contributed by her best friend, Winna Evelina.
The album ‘Jingga’ was produced in only 1000 copies as it was only intended to be released as a teaser to the Indonesian music scene. The album was made in cooperation with Warehouse music production, an independent label, produced by Andre Harihandoyo. The cover of the album was concepted by Windri herself and designed by BOLD production.
In each of her performance, Windri is always supported by her own band. This is also the reason why she then introduces her stage name as Windri Marieta and Friends.
