Duo Project is a young project created in mid 2012 by two Indonesian jazz musicians who are also best friends: Pianist Ramadhani Syah and guitarist Johanes Radianto. The two created this project initially because of a request from a local Bandung promoter to make a concert with a simple group format. They decided just to play with piano and guitar and called themselves “DUO PROJECT”.

The concert was packed with people and the response was enthusiastic so the two friends decided to continue working together as DUO PROJECT.

Ramadhani Syah Warongan, born in 1980, got his undergraduate degree as a pianist, majoring in Jazz and Performance, from the Prins Claus Conservatorium in Groningen, Netherlands, in 2009.
