Background edit
Vidi was raised in a family that highly appreciated music. His father, Harry Kiss, was an owner of a famous event organizer business.[3] His mother was a piano teacher. As a result of her teachings, Vidi could play the piano since he was 3 years old.
At the age of 2, he won second place at a singing competition for children. In elementary school, Vidi was chosen to be the art ambassador of his school.
In his teenage years, Vidi began to focus on the violin. In high school, Vidi joined a band and won first place in the 1ncredible Band Festival 2007 with his band mates.
Vidi's career as an artist began when his father, realizing how talented his son was, promoted Vidi's demo album to some owners of recording companies that he knew. Unfortunately, the demo album was rejected because male soloists were not popular at that time. After being rejected six times by various recording companies, in 2009 music producer Lala Hamid agreed to produce Vidi's single after watching him sing at an occasion.
In 2011, The recording company Trinity Optima Production helped Vidi release his second album Yang Kedua with hit single Datang dan Kembali, Lupakan Mantan, and Gadis Genit.
In 2013, Vidi released a mini album entitled Dunia Baru with hits single Pupus/Kasih Tak Sampai (mash up), Apakah Ku Jatuh Cinta (feat. Sherina Munaf) and Dibawah Langit Ibu kota yang diciptakan bersama sahabatnya, Petra Sihombing. After the release, Vidi went to Manchester University to continue his Magister studies.[4]
Returning to his homeland in 2015, Vidi again released the single Membiasakan Cinta which was dedicated to friends living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), then being appointed as the 2015-2016 Indonesian AIDS Ambassador.[5]
