Early life

Stephanie Poetri Dougharty was born on 20 May 2000 in Jakarta, Indonesia, to an Indonesian mother, Titi DJ, and an American father, Andrew Dougharty, who was the Head of School of the school she attended, Global Jaya International School.[2][dead link] She was raised in Jakarta and grew up with two half-sisters and a half-brother from her mother's side.[3]

Career

edit

2015 - 2019: Career beginning

edit

Poetri's first major work came in 2015, when she, along with Goodbye Felicia, performed a cover of Bimbang for the Indonesian teen film Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? 2.[1]

In 2019, Poetri released her debut single titled Appreciate, in both Indonesian and English.[4]

2019 - 2021: "I Love You 3000"

edit

Poetri's breakthrough as an artist came with the release of her single, I Love You 3000, on 3 June 2019. The inspiration from the song came from an Instagram Q&A with her followers, along with the release of Avengers: Endgame[a] a week before the Q&A.[5] The song was streamed over 425 million, topping Spotify’s Global Viral 50 for over four weeks.[6] The song won her Best New Asian Artist - Indonesia at the 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards.[7] A remix of the song, titled I Love You 3000 II, featured Got7 member Jackson Wang. It was released on 88rising's Head in the Clouds II album, and topped the Billboard social charts in China.[8] The pair also collaborated on a music video, that received over 14 million views on YouTube.[9]

In February 2020, Poetri released two new singles, titled Do You Love Me and Touch.[10] Poetri has described the songs as anti-romance songs, and said "In my opinion, [the songs] have a little bit more depth and they're less storyline-based, but still very much a kind of story that some people can relate to."[11]

In April 2020, Poetri released the single titled "Straight To You." Speaking on the music video, Poetri stated "I decided to do a fun project where I used a green screen to make a video at home since we couldn't really shoot a full-on production during this time. I got very into it and made a full music video all by myself in my room and edited it really intensely over 48 hours!"[12]

2021 - present: AM:PM

edit

In December 2020, Poetri released her single Selfish. It was her first and only single to be released from the debut EP AM:PM.[13]

On 12 March 2021, Poetri released her debut EP AM:PM.[14]

Personal life

edit

Poetri moved to Los Angeles, California in November 2019 to pursue her music career. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, she moved back to Jakarta to be with her family.[15]

Poetri has cited Alec Benjamin, Finneas O'Connell, Jeremy Zucker, and fellow 88rising artist Niki as musical inspirations.[5] She also enjoys K-pop, citing Blackpink, Got7, and Twice as some of her favorite groups.[16]
