Band history:
In the spring of 2001, after living in Indonesia for almost two years in southern Sulawesi, the members of DEBU moved to Jakarta. They began practicing music and experimenting with different instruments, drum rhythms and vocals.

The impetus for this development was the members' experience while teaching at an Indonesian university in Makassar. They sang with the students as recreation and motivation, adding excitement and enthusiasm to the students' daily routine. The response and receptiveness by students, fellow teachers and the surrounding community was overwhelming.

The group began in earnest studying and writing music, and learning and practicing an eclectic ensemble of instruments. Mustafa, at 20 years old, became one of the composers, main arranger and lead vocalist for the group. Thus, the 18 member group DEBU was born.

In April 2001, DEBU began performing by invitation around the greater Jakarta area. Two years later, in April 2003, after countless performances in a variety of settings (from intimate gatherings to corporate galas), and many television appearances (including two award winning special TV series dedicated to DEBU�s music), the group's first album was released in Indonesia. Entitled Mabuk Cinta (Drunk with Love), it is a ten-song Indonesian and Arabic album.

Mabuk Cinta was subsequently released the US and Malaysia in November 2003. Television exposure of the video of DEBU's first single "Cinta Saja" (Just Love), and radio play of this hit, helped the group and the album gain national attention in Indonesia and Malaysia.

The second album, Makin Mabuk (Even More Drunk), was released in September 2004 and quickly followed the success of the first album.

In the summer 2006, DEBU finished recording two albums, Nyawa dan Cinta (The Soul and Love) and a yet to be release Turkish album. Nyawa dan Cinta follows Makin Mabuk two years after its release. In this two year period, DEBU worked on many recording projects but the groups main focus was designing and completing their own recording studio. The new studio gave Mustafa and the members of DEBU much more creative freedom to experiment and perfect the recording craft.

DEBU regularly performs in Indonesia. DEBU has songs in many languages and now seeks to broaden its audiences and spread its universal message. DEBU continues, in and out of the studio, to work on existing and new material for upcoming multilingual releases.
