Ni Luh Ketut Mahalini Ayu Raharja, as known as Mahalini, (born in 4 March

2000) is an Indonesian singer-songwriter and actress. Born and raised in


Denpasar, Bali, Mahalini started her career in the music industry with a single
titled "Bawa Dia Kembali" in 2015. However, she began to get public attention
after becoming the top five of the tenth season of Indonesian Idol. In the
competition, Mahalini joined the record company Hits Records and released a
solo single "Melawan Restu" which brought her her first award in the music
industry as New Artist of the Year from the 2021 Indonesian Music Awards.

Before becoming interested in music, Mahalini liked modeling when she was in
kindergarten. The beginning of her interest in music was when she saw her father
often singing karaoke at home, Mahalini was interested and sang along. Since
grade 5, Mahalini Elementary School has taken vocal lessons to hone her singing
skills.

Mahalini started her career as a national singer when she was in the 9th grade of
junior high school. This began when Mahalini was joined by a music producer
from Jakarta, Bobby Sandhora who was interested in Mahalini's vocals to make
her a pop singer. Then he was orbited by Sandhora Production to the national
scene by releasing his first single titled "Bawa Dia Kembali" under the auspices of
Sandhora and Valf Records. The single release ceremony was held in the hall of
SMP Negeri 1 Denpasar on January 17, 2015. Furthermore, he appeared as a
participant in the FLS2N Bali Province event in 2015 with his school vocal group
which was held at the end of June 2015. After winning the competition, he and his
group represented Bali Province to the national level at the 2015 National FLS2N
event held in Semarang. In 2016, Mahalini had dared to go solo in the race. He is
known to have participated in the Bali and Indonesian Pop Song Competition at
the Bali Provincial Language Hall on February 13-14, 2016. He won the Bali Pop
Song Competition category A (12–16 years old). In the following year, she won
the 2017 Bali Provincial FLS2N in the women's solo category and successfully
advanced to the national level in the 2017 National FLS2N in Kupang. In
addition, Mahalini is often trusted to participate in the Bali Song Parade of the
Bali Arts Festival for three consecutive years from 2016 to 2018.

In 2019, Mahalini participated in the tenth season of Indonesian Idol.


Previously, he had participated in the same event in the ninth season but failed
during the audition. Her tenth season of Indonesian Idol began with an invitation
to audition for Indonesia Idol in Bali, after passing the audition in June 2019.
Mahalini auditioned for Jakarta and managed to get a golden ticket. In September
2019 he entered quarantine. After passing the audition stage and going through the
competition quarantine process, Mahalini was eliminated in the top five on
February 3, 2020. As a former finalist, he was automatically handled by MNC
Group's artist management company, Star Media Nusantara. He also joined under
the auspices of the record company Hits Records which is a business division of
Star Media Nusantara. Mahalini took second place in the Top Local Artist in
Indonesia and Top Female Artist in Indonesia categories. His song "Sisa Rasa"
also entered the top four for the Top Songs in Indonesia category and Songs from
Top Indonesian Artists in Indonesia.

Mahalini is one of my favorite artists. Because every song creation and song he
sings is very passionate and really sings using feelings. He always performs
optimally in every event wherever it is. Almost all the songs he sings are
expensive creations based on his own experience and heart.
