His name was known to the public after Jason Ranti released his first album titled 'Due to the Blues' in 2017.
Jason Ranti is considered a new idol for indie and folk music lovers.
Until Jason Ranti was trusted to play the figure of Pidi Baiq in the musical drama film 'Koboy Kampus'.

Career Journey
Before entering the world of music, this graduate of the Psychology major had worked as an office employee.
Jason Ranti has worked at a bank and entered the Executive Education Program (PPE).
But he decided to leave and move to work at a Japanese restaurant to become a cashier.
When Jason Ranti met a junior high school friend who later became his wife and worked as a doctor, he gave Jason Ranti a job to teach lessons from elementary to junior high school levels.
Even Jason Ranti's recording fees for his first album were obtained from working as the tutor.
However, Jason Ranti's musical career started from joining a band called Stairway to Zinna as a guitarist.
With Stairway to Zinna, Jason Ranti released an album titled 'Asisi' in 2012 and the compilation album 'Karol's Trip to Zinna' in 2013 with Karon n Roll, That's Rockefeller and Indische Party.
However, because the band members were busy with their respective activities, Jason Ranti, who had been interested in the world of music since elementary school (SD), decided to pursue a solo career.
His decision to release a solo album was also inseparable from his meeting with the figure who is now his producer, Junior Soemantri.
Through Junior, Jason Ranti then worked on the album 'Due to the Blues'.
Jason Ranti met Junior Soemantri at the Earhouse owned by musician Endah N Rhesa.
As a musician, Jason Ranti has one simple goal which is the reason as well as his anxiety in music, he just wants his life to be useful for others.
Until finally the album 'Due to the Blues' which had been in the works since the end of 2016 was released on May 15, 2017 under the auspices of Demajors.
This album contains 11 songs written by Jason Ranti himself.
However, the 'result of the Blues Association' was created without a clear plan.
Not only that, the album's creative process is behind the material making up to the artwork being done by themselves.
The songs as a whole are also a natural process for him as a musician.
Jason Ranti revealed that the inspiration for this album was also unexpected.
It is said that the inspiration came from the internet, the herbal medicine shop, from Bobo magazine and especially from the figures of Rongrong and Bona in the magazine.
Two years later, in May 2019, the Sinema Pinggiran Production House released its latest work entitled 'After Pergaulan Blues'.
'After Pergaulan Blues' is a documentary film about Jason Ranti's musical journey.
Directed by Allan Soebakir, in May 2019 the film had reached 80 percent but the promo had already been made.
His wife, Caroline Ranti and Jason Ranti's only child, Koko Woyoo Ranti also took part in the appearance of this film.
Plus the children's group of fans of Jason Ranti, nicknamed the Woyoo Gang.
It is known, this film is a bridge to Jason Ranti's second album.
May 23, 2019, Jason Ranti's second album entitled 'Overview of Info' was released.
The album, which contains 12 songs, was inspired by Ibu Soed and Kasino Warkop.
Jason Ranti's second album was recorded at various times and places in Indonesia while on tour and music performances throughout 2017 to 2018.
Some of the songs were even recorded in a hotel bathroom.
A number of musicians are also involved in the production process such as Danilla and Mondo Gascaro.
Back in collaboration with music label Demajors, 'Glance Info' was released in double disk packaging.
For the album cover, Jason Ranti uses a photo of his own son.
Jason Ranti collaborated with Danilla on the song 'Iman C Reserve' and was produced by Mondo Gascaro.
The 12 songs in this album are; 'A Man Willing to Be Sodomized for the sake of Buying Children's Milk', 'LGPW', 'Mr Bos Twelve, Prizes', 'Antidote to Sickness',' xxxx Unnecessary Titles', 'Reserved Faith', 'Brief Info', and 'Blues Are Not Forever Blues'.
Not only in the world of music, Jason Ranti has spread to the world of acting.
The reason is, he was lined up to play the figure of Pidi Baiq in the film 'Koboy Kampus'.
Jason Ranti admitted that he felt a little difficult when he was first trusted to be involved in the film.
But in the end, he got an injection of enthusiasm and motivation from the other players so that he could be freer in acting.
Jason Ranti also never thought that he could be chosen to play this character.
According to him, this is an opportunity to try out the world of acting.
Jason Ranti even conducted research to be able to play the character of Pidi Baiq to the fullest.
The research that was carried out was by hanging out at The Panasdalam, chatting more and hearing their stories, looking at some photos, playing the guitar and his songs The Panasdalam.
