Forbes 30 Under 30
Forbes Indonesia|March 2021
MEET FORBES INDONESIA 30U30 2021! - The Forbes Indonesia 30 Under 30 Class of 2021 is an impressive list, showcasing top Indonesia's young entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and philanthropists who manage to stay high spirited, maintain hard work, and see opportunity amid the challenging time. This time last year, Forbes Indonesia held an event to recognize the 30 Under 30 Class of 2020, when President Joko Widodo announced the first COVID-19 case in Indonesia. Not long after, the pandemic forced the world to adapt to what we call the new normal. The past year has put us in turmoil, many suffering from financial instability and losing their lost ones, but these young people featured on this year 30 Under 30 could provide us with optimism. We also noticed several trends in this year's list. First, the pandemic has accelerated the adoption of the internet and digitalization. Many in our list have taken advantage of what the internet has to grow their business and create awareness of what they are doing. Second, we see a significant trend in building a sustainable impact through their business and activism. Despite promising results are coming from the vaccine rollout, the pandemic is not over yet, and uncertainties remain. Thus, we hope our list could inspire other young Indonesians to stay positive and pursue their dreams.

Indonesia is home to a massive round of listeners to the country’s very own dangdut, followed by pop, rock, and indie. Hip hop, albeit it isn’t the most popular genre, also has its own niche market with some names stealing the spotlight, such as Ramengvrl. Her first and latest album Can’t Speak English, an antithesis to how all ten songs are sung in English, became a hit upon its launch in November 2020. Other than serving fast-paced rapping tracks, as usual, it also shows a pop-induced, melodic side of her. The album was distributed under EMPIRE, a major independent distribution and record label with a prestigious roster of hip hop artists, such as Iggy Azalea, Kendrick Lamar, XXXTentacion, and the list goes on.

“I think foreign labels coming to Asia, and eventually to Indonesia, isn’t going to be a super rare thing anymore in the future. People are aware that Asia is a really huge market, and the players have grown far,” says Ramen, as she’s nicknamed.
