In his newly expanded role, Andi will oversee TuneCore's growth strategy, artist relations, and marketing initiatives throughout Indonesia, reporting to Regional Head of TuneCore APAC, Cyrus Chen
NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- TuneCore, the leading independent development partner for self-releasing artists—part of Believe, the Paris-based global artist development company—has promoted Andi Arya Dwi Putra to the role of Head of TuneCore, Indonesia. Andi's role was announced jointly by Brian Miller, Chief Business Officer, TuneCore; and Cyrus Chen, Regional Head of TuneCore, APAC, to whom he will report.
Miller commented, "Artists outside of the US continue to make up a majority of TuneCore's new releases, and having Heads of TuneCore who are experts in their local music scene allows us to provide specialized guidance and best serve artists in their home markets, while helping them find fans around the world. Andi's extensive knowledge of the Indonesian music landscape makes him the ideal candidate to drive our business in the region and ensure our Indonesian artists are getting the attention and resources they need in order to thrive."
In his role as Head of TuneCore, Indonesia, Andi is responsible for managing the company's roster of artists throughout Indonesia, driving the company's growth strategy, and overseeing initiatives that empower independent artists and labels through global music distribution and artist development programs. Through strategic marketing and DSP partnerships, Andi fosters opportunities for Indonesian artists to build sustainable careers and connect with audiences worldwide, while increasing TuneCore's presence and reputation throughout the country.
Andi commented, "My five-year journey with TuneCore has given me a front-row seat to the incredible grit and creativity of Indonesia's independent music community. As we enter a dynamic new era for creators, and as I step into this new role, I am fully committed to TuneCore's mission of putting artists first and driving innovation to keep Indonesian artists at the forefront of the industry."
Multiple Indonesian TuneCore artists have experienced a surge of popularity recently, including Indonesian indie/folk-pop group Fourtwnty, whose single "Mangu" rose into the public consciousness years after its release, breaking into the Spotify Global Top 10, amassing nearly 300 million streams, and spending multiple consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard's Indonesia Songs chart. Similarly, in late 2025, Indonesian TuneCore artist Barasuara simultaneously reached #1 on three of the region's most influential streaming playlists: Spotify's Viral 50 Indonesia, as well as Apple Music's Today Hits and Viral Hits.
Chen commented, "Indonesia continues to be one of the most exciting and complex markets in Southeast Asia. Having worked closely with Andi, I've seen firsthand how well he navigates that complexity, from building artist relationships to understanding the cultural nuances that make this market unique. I have full confidence that his leadership will help us get closer to our artists and unlock the next stage of growth in Indonesia."
Andi's appointment comes on the heels of TuneCore's expansion of its international leadership team in May 2026, with Chen being named Regional Head of TuneCore, APAC, and Basile Beaugendre being named Regional Head of TuneCore, Europe.
