Biography
From the ashes of Akta Angkasa and Custom Daisy, Dirgahayu first emerged in July 2013 as a 3-piece instrumental rock outfit.

In conjunction of their nationwide tour 2013-14, directed by Carlos Nizam and Khairul Johari, Bahawasa-nya’s music video was released with compelling positive reviews from all over the region.
