Known for her "ear-catching and easy-to-listen-to" songs, she has been described as being one of Indonesia's most sought-after songwriters and composers. BiographyDewiq was born Cynthia Dewi Bayu Wardani in Ujung Pandang, South Sulawesi (now Makassar) on 15 June 1975.{{sfn|Kurniasari 2009, Dewiq}} She was the youngest of two children born to Indonesian Bambang Yulianto and Dutchwoman Myrna Amy Nigell.{{sfn|KapanLagi.com, Dewiq}} She wrote her first song while in elementary school there, later learning to play the guitar and drums{{sfn|Kurniasari 2009, Dewiq}} in junior and senior high school respectively.{{sfn|KapanLagi.com, Dewiq}} After graduating high school, Dewiq joined Red Rose, a Bandung-based band{{sfn|Kurniasari 2009, Dewiq}} that exclusively played songs by Extreme, Led Zeppelin, and Mr. Big.{{sfn|KapanLagi.com, Dewiq}} In 1996, she recorded her first album, Weeq. Weeq was well received, and was followed by two more albums, 1999's Apa Adanya (Just the Way I Am) and 2001's Hanya Manusia Biasa (Just Ordinary People).{{sfn|Kurniasari 2009, Dewiq}} All three were released by Universal Music.{{sfn|KapanLagi.com, Dewiq}} Unable to deal with the hectic schedule of a singer, she made the shift to songwriting.{{sfn|Kurniasari 2009, Dewiq}} After her shift to songwriting, Dewiq wrote songs for numerous artists, including Malaysian singer Siti Nurhaliza as well as Indonesian singers Bunga Citra Lestari and Agnes Monica. As a way of expressing her gratitude to those who supported her, in 2008 Dewiq released a compilation album entitled Siapa Dewiq? The Hits Maker (Who's Dewiq? The Hits Maker); on the album, she contributed two duets, "Koq Gitu Sih?" ("Why does It Have to be That Way?") with TV host Indra Bekti and "Be Te" ("Bad Mood") with musician Ipang. The album went on to sell over 100,000 copies.{{sfn|Kurniasari 2009, Dewiq}} Songwriting styleDewiq notes that she has been heavily influenced by The Beatles and Lenny Kravitz, as well as by her former husband Parlin Burman Siburan. She draws the inspiration for her lyrics from her personal experiences and those of her friends and family, which often result in sad songs. Once she has written the lyrics, the artist or record label that ordered the song are not allowed to change them; changing the music is acceptable. Music wise, she tends to ignore what is trending at the time.{{sfn|Kurniasari 2009, Dewiq}} Triwik Kurniasari of The Jakarta Post describes her songs as being "ear-catching and easy-to-listen-to"; she also describes Dewiq as perhaps being the most wanted songwriter and composer in Indonesia.{{sfn|Kurniasari 2009, Dewiq}} Personal lifeDewiq married Parlin Burman Siburan, better known as Pay, a former member of Slank and current member of BIP, in March 2001.{{sfn|KapanLagi.com, Dewiq}} The couple secretly divorced in 2007, but only revealed it to the public in 2010 after Pay announced that he would be married to another woman.{{sfn|Globe 2010, Indonesian Rocker}} They continued to have a good relationship, collaborating on songs; Dewiq also attended Pay's second wedding.{{sfn|Globe 2010, Indonesian Rocker}} In 2009, she said that he had "taught [her] so much about everything, from music to life", citing him as the most influential person in her life.{{sfn|Kurniasari 2009, Dewiq}} Discography
