The band consists of Andi Fadly Arifuddin (Fadly, vocalist), Satriyo Yudhi Wahono (Piyu, guitarist), Ari Tri Sosianto (Ari, guitarist), Rindra Risyanto Noor (Rindra, bassist), and Surendro Prasetyo (Yoyok, drummer).
Padi They were called SODA before eventually dubbed as PADI. The band first performed at a gig at Unair’s Faculty of Law, October 1996, and formally known as PADI in April 8, 1997. Yoyok, the drummer, proposed the name PADI, Indonesian for “rice”. It was not only inspired by the philosophy of rice, which bows even further down when ripen, a symbol for modesty. But also by the fact that it is Indonesian staple food that everybody could enjoy. From peasants, little kids, to the executives. Though PADI’s name is often associated with something “boorish”, being the food for the poor, PADI has a very down-to-earth sense. In their perspective, PADI is also the symbol for prosperity.
Before they become what they are today, they used to struggled just to signed a record deal with major recording company. But unfortunately most of them rejected PADI. But that didn't stop Padi to keep on tryin', on the other side the rejection made them recorded lots of demos and they delivered the demo by them self from Surabaya to Jakarta.
On one occasion, Piyu the lead guitar once said "Band player have to feel suffer before they became famous. Living in suffer trained us to survive and exist in our own world".
