About Nicky Astria
- Nastiti Karja Dewi (born October 18, 1967), better known by her stage name Nicky Astria, is an Indonesian musician. Born in Bandung, West Java, to a schoolteacher and his musician wife, Astria began singing in 1975 while the family was stationed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
- After several years of participating in festivals and taking vocal training, in 1984 Astria was signed to AMK Records.
- Although her first album flopped, she found success with her second and third albums, Jarum Neraka, Mengapa, Misteri Cinta, Panggung Sandiwara, Matahari dan Rembulan and Tangan-Tangan Setan. Bruce Emond of The Jakarta Post described her as "one of the biggest [Indonesian] music stars of the late 1980s", while guitarist-cum-songwriter Ian Antono called her "the best female pop rock singer Indonesia has ever seen".
- Two of her songs, "Jarum Neraka" and "Tangan-Tangan Setan" (both 1985), were listed as among the best Indonesian songs of all time by Rolling Stone Indonesia in 2009
