Career

Bastian Steel began his career young by competing in Idola Cilik 2 on RCTI in 2008, reaching the top 12 and gaining early exposure for his singing talent.

He landed a role as Kucai in the 2011 musical drama Laskar Pelangi, where he met future bandmates Aldy Maldini, Iqbaal Ramadhan, and Teuku Rizky Muhammad.

This connection led to the formation of Coboy Junior (CJR) in 2011, where he served as main rapper and dancer, delivering hits like Kamu, Eeeaa, and Terhebat that propelled the group to massive popularity among Indonesian teens through albums, concerts, and TV promotions.

His time with CJR brought key accomplishments, including starring in films such as Coboy Junior: The Movie (2013), Comic 8 (2014), and CJR The Movie: Lawan Rasa Takutmu (2015), which combined music with acting and expanded their fanbase.

Bastian left the group in February 2014 to pursue solo opportunities, releasing tracks like Gadisku and Aku Rindu while venturing into acting in projects like After Met You (2019) and Bima-S (2020).

This shift allowed him to explore more mature roles and independent music away from the boyband format.

Bastian Steel rejoined Teuku Rizky and Aldy Maldini in 2022 to form TBA, releasing contemporary tracks like U-Uh… (2023) that reconnects with longtime fans while showcasing evolved artistry.

He continues releasing solo music, appearing in films and series, and performing live, solidifying his place in Indonesian pop and acting scenes through consistent work and strong fan loyalty.
