Heppy Rismanda Hendranata (Javanese: ꦲꦼꦥ꧀ꦥꦾꦫꦶꦱ꧀ꦩꦤ꧀ꦢꦲꦼꦤ꧀ꦢꦿꦤꦠ; born July 10, 1999), better known by the stage name Happy Asmara is an Indonesian singer-songwriter, presenter, and businessperson from Kediri, East Java. Based herself in Javanese music, her name gained wider public attention after the release of the second single of her own production titled "Tak Ikhlasno" which has gained immense popularity in the Java region, specifically East Java.[1] [2] In the year of the release of "Tak Ikhlasno", Happy Asmara through the record label released the recycled single "Dalan Liyane" which also gained great popularity and at least became a change in her career. In popular culture, "Tak Ikhlasno" and "Dalan Liyane" have been considered the beginnings of great recognition.[3] [4]

Happy Asmara was born in Kediri Regency, East Java and grew up in the Ringinrejo District area. She is the eldest of four children from a Javanese-Minahasan father, Hendro Siswantoro, and a Javanese mother, Dwi Yuslianti.[5] [6] Happy Asmara has three younger siblings; the oldest is Riang Cahya Fortuna and the youngest is Alexio Bertrand Alvaro, while her second younger brother is a person with autism and has died from tetanus. Happy's last name is a patronymic name given by her parents, which was adapted from her father's first name.[7] [8]

Career

2009, 2013 - 2016: Early career

In 2009, when Happy Asmara was between the ages of 8 and 10, she started her career by being selected as a model for a local children's magazine in East Java.[15] [16] [17] As time went by, Happy's talent in singing began to show, she had been training her vocals since she was in junior high school.[18] [19] Happy Asmara began her musical career by appearing from stage to stage, starting from local festivals, filling weddings, to appearing as a sinden in wayang kulit events.[20]

In 2013, Happy Asmara began signing a contract with a local record company and a few years later she began joining several dangdut orchestras at once in East Java.[21] [22] [23] Happy Asmara released her debut single on January 1, 2014 with a live recording of the title track "Sayang 4".[24] Throughout her career, Happy Asmara worked as a vocalist for a local indie band in Kediri, at the same time she was also a rocker singer with a punk fashion style.[25] [26] [27]

2016 - 2017: Dangdut Academy 4 Surabaya audition

While still a high school student in 2016, Happy Asmara was supported by her parents to audition for the fourth season of the popular dangdut singing talent search D'Academy at BK3S Tenggilis Mejoyo in Surabaya, the audition was held on November 7 2016 and was broadcast delayed by Indosiar on January 18, 2017. In the audition assessment round, Happy Asmara sang several lyrics from the song "Sayang" which was popularized by Via Vallen, Nassar Sungkar, Dewi Persik, and Iis Dahlia became the main panel of judges assessing her performance.[28] [29] At the end of the audition, Happy Asmara managed to get a golden ticket which was given directly by Dewi Persik as the main panel of judges. After the audition round was over, Happy Asmara was considered to have resigned and was also declared to have failed to advance to the next round. This happened because she did not answer the phone call from the organizers informing her that she had been selected to compete in Jakarta for fear of fraud.
