DIRA

Kenapa tiba-tiba tampil di konser David Foster? Saat mendengar kabar bahwa David Foster akan menggelar konser di Jakarta, sempat berharap akan diajak untuk ikut tampil. Beberapa teman dan saudara juga sempat menanyakan apakah aku akan tampil. Sedikit kecewa nggak diajak tapi aku mikir gak apa-apa gantian lah toh aku sudah sempat beberapa kali juga ikut tur David Foster. Tapi tetap intuisi aku berkata, “tenang aja…kalau rejeki gak akan kemana…”. Lanjut di kolom komen…

Along the line of a discussion with the man that made me step into the next journey of DIRA. 🤍💫 A special shout out my dear friend @vjdaniel Thank you!

I cannot believe I’ve made it this far! It’s The Grammys! Feeling grateful and thankful for this invitation. I’m honored to be part of the new @recordingacademy member class and join the countless creators and professionals who serve, celebrate and advocate for our music-community all year round. I’m also excited to represent Indonesia and to make purposeful impact in this industry. Alhamdulillah, I thank God, the one who knows all my dreams, the one who hears and answers all my prayers. And also everyone who has always shown their love and support. 🙏🏾❤️ #IAmTheAcademy #therecordingacademy #grammys #DIRA

Train hard until people think you’re 23 when you’re actually 46 🥱✨ A taxi driver randomly guessed my age today. He said, “You must be 23.” I told him I’m 46… and he refused to believe me 😂 People think training is just about aesthetics, but muscle is one of the biggest keys to longevity, strength, energy, and staying youthful as we age. All those workouts, discipline, sleep, and saying no to stress? Apparently worth it 💁🏽‍♀️🔥 #TrainForLife #StrongNotSkinny #Longevity

Two sold out nights at @thecapitoljazzclub ❤️ Feeling so happy and grateful to everyone who came, stayed, sang along, and showed so much love throughout the shows. Nothing means more than hearing so many of you come up to me afterwards and say how much you truly enjoyed the music. We had such a beautiful time together, and I already can’t wait to come back to Singapore again soon. ✨

Last night, someone came to my show and sent me these messages after. I sat quietly reading them with tears in my eyes. Sometimes we wonder if what we do really matters. If the songs still reach people. If intimate rooms and small stages carry the same weight as the big ones. And then God sends a reminder. A reminder that music is more than performance. It’s memory. It’s healing. It’s companionship. It’s love finding its way back to someone’s heart, even through grief. She told me certain songs brought her back to moments with her late husband…their wedding day, the hospital room, the life they shared together through jazz. 🥹 To every healing heart carrying love, loss, memories, or longing… I’m sending you light tonight. ✨ That’s when I remembered: it’s never about how big the stage is. Huge or small, loud or intimate… if even one heart feels seen, comforted, or less alone, then it matters deeply. This is why I do this. 🤍 And by God’s grace, I get to do it one more time tonight at @thecapitoljazzclub If you’re in Singapore, come spend the evening with us. 🎶

Just realized how much I’ve missed singing standards. This is one of my favorite beautiful heartbreak songs. See you tomorrow Singapore! 🤍 #jazz #vocals #nancywilson

Kapan lagi bisa ngumpulin cameo hits sebanyak ini! Betul-betul sebuah projek yang istimewa. ❤️‍🔥 Film pendek “Finding Ratna” yang disutradarai oleh @ibunia sudah bisa ditonton di kanal YouTube @bazaarindonesia Silde terakhir: Setelah menemukan Ratna, Lisa Umi dan Juli menemukan Tokek! @amingisback 😆😘

Last night felt like stepping into something truly special. 🤍 Honored to be part of this project “Finding Ratna”, a short film a tribute to Indonesian cinema—directed by @ibunia and produced by @bazaarindonesia with Ibu @melyana_tj as executive producer. I play Lisa, one of the three researchers uncovering the legacy of Ratna Asmara, Indonesia’s first female director. With a beautiful score by @ottijamalus , stunning wardrobes curated by Bazaar, and special cameos from incredible figures in Indonesian cinema—this project feels deeply meaningful and an important piece in preserving Indonesian cinema history. And to everyone who showed up despite the heavy rain and traffic..thank you. Your presence meant everything. Special thanks to @plazaindonesia for the support. 🎬✨

Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia menggelar premiere film pendek Finding Ratna, karya @ibunia , yang juga berkolaborasi dengan @melyana_tj di Plaza Indonesia. Agenda ini diawali dengan early dinner di Burger & Lobster Jakarta. Pemutaran berlangsung di XXI Plaza Indonesia dengan nuansa monokromatik, dibuka oleh kata sambutan dari Ria Lirungan selaku Editor-in-Chief, Nia Dinata sebagai sutradara, serta Zamri Mamat sebagai Deputy Chief Marketing of Plaza Indonesia. Melalui Finding Ratna, Nia Dinata mengangkat kisah tentang perempuan sutradara pertama yang merupakan sebuah refleksi tentang keberanian, membuka jalan, dan suara perempuan yang akhirnya menemukan ruangnya. Film ini dapat disaksikan mulai besok di kanal YouTube Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia.

Masih minggu beban “berat-ringan”, mau pengsan! 😭 Training isn’t always fun… sometimes it’s literally a pain in the *ss 😅 But I keep showing up and now people are starting to notice. Not gonna lie, it feels good. 💃🏽 I’m just here building my little hourglass one workout at a time ⌛️🍑 Let’s go 🔥 #HourglassInProgress #JustKeepShowingUp #StrongFeelsGood #ConsistencyOverPerfect #GlowInYour40s LittleWins

Special Show: Dira Sugandi 🥃✨ The whisper continues as we welcome Indonesian soul-jazz luminary Dira Sugandi for two special nights on 8 & 9 May. Marking her long-awaited return to the Singapore stage after three years, Dira brings a professional pedigree that few can match. Known for her "quiet authority," her career is defined by global collaborations with icons like David Foster, Andrea Bocelli, and Diane Warren, as well as her roots in the vibrant UK acid-jazz scene. @dirasugandi For this engagement, Dira is joined by three of Indonesia’s most technically accomplished jazz masters: Sri Hanuraga (piano), Kevin Yosua (bass), and Elfa Zulham (drums). This isn't just a vocal performance; it is a masterclass in ensemble communication. Dira and her trio bridge the gap between sophisticated jazz improvisation and the rich, emotive storytelling of soul, creating a visceral live experience that is as intellectually stimulating as it is moving. Enter quietly, stay late. The Details: 📅 8 & 9 May 2026 📍 Venue: The Capitol Jazz Club | Capitol Theatre (Galleria Room at Level 3) 🚪 Doors: 8.00PM (Classic cocktails by The Capitol Kempinski Hotel) @capitolkempinski 🎵 Showtimes: 9.00PM – 11.30PM Book now: thecapitoljazzclub.com #jazzingaround #singaporejazz #souljazz #livemusic #keepingmusiclive
