Actor El Putra Sarira has officially stepped into music with the release of his debut single, "Memoria", on Thursday (24/9/2026). The song is not merely a debut marker, but also a medium for El to explore the theme of memories and the people who once occupied an important space in someone's life.
Although it stems from a love story, "Memoria" offers a broader perspective. The song highlights how a relationship, friendship, or phase of life can end, yet the memories within it do not have to disappear. El wants to convey a message about making peace with something that has ended, while still appreciating the beautiful moments that once existed.
The creative process behind "Memoria" was fairly unique. The song was born from El's first workshop session with Petra Sihombing, Mohammed Kamga, and Iqbal Siregar. According to El, the writing took place quickly, in only about one to two hours. However, the refrain went through several changes, up to three or four versions, before finally finding the form deemed most fitting to represent the song's message. El himself was directly involved in writing the lyrics and the creative process, ensuring that the song truly reflects his artistic vision.
Beyond releasing the song, El also builds a deeper narrative through the Instagram account @monolognada. The account serves as a space for El to monologue and tell stories about his musical process. Through @monolognada, he introduces a fictional character named Rama, which functions to separate El as a person from the character in his story. The @monolognada universe is connected to the "Memoria" music video, which features the characters Rama and Yara.
"Memoria" is not intended solely as a sad song about loss, but as an invitation to make peace with something that has ended, while still appreciating the beautiful moments once shared together.
El Putra Sarira's move into the music industry reflects an increasingly common trend among Indonesian actors. In recent years, a number of big names from the acting world have begun venturing into singing, either as solo artists or in collaboration with established musicians. This phenomenon not only enriches the country's creative industry, but also opens new opportunities for artists to explore various mediums of expression.
For the Indonesian music market, El's presence adds color to an increasingly competitive contemporary pop segment. The collaboration with Petra Sihombing, known as a producer and musician with a distinctive style, as well as Mohammed Kamga and Iqbal Siregar, shows that El is serious about working on this project musically. This could be a signal that he is not merely following the trend, but wants to build a solid musician identity.
From a business perspective, the release of "Memoria" also has the potential to expand El's fan base. By using the @monolognada account as a storytelling channel, El creates an ecosystem that allows fans to engage more deeply, not only listening to the song but also following the narrative behind it. This strategy aligns with the trend of digital music marketing that emphasizes storytelling and community engagement.
Going forward, it will be interesting to see whether El will continue his music career by releasing more songs or perhaps holding live performances. Will "Memoria" become the foundation for a full album, or is it just a side project amid his busy schedule as an actor? What is clear is that this first step has placed El as one of the names to be reckoned with in the Indonesian music scene.
