There are many fans who want to know more about the Indonesian pop group GALAXY members! After all, the group has stolen viewers’ hearts with their recent release of comeback single REVIVAL. The Indonesian pop group GALAXY from Bandung consists of five members Ricard, Steve, Ravik, Calvin, and Fernand. GALAXY is a re-branded group of TGX (The Galaxy), composed of Calvin, Steve, Sookyo, Deris, and Fernand, debuting on 14 February 2020 with a single Parasite. However, after re-branding, GALAXY debuted/comeback recently under STB Entertainment and Pro-M Music Label.
The members’ journey from TGX to GALAXY was not an easy ride. Calvin and Steve’s long-lasting friendship goes back to the TGX era. Meanwhile, Ravik, Fernand, and Ricard worked hard to pass the STB Entertainment trainee candidate audition in 2021 before becoming part of GALAXY members. Therefore, after revamping, the members decide to make a comeback in the Indonesian music industry and hope to become an icon, positively influencing today’s generation.
Furthermore, working under the same management and label, GALAXY is often referred to as the StarBe brother group. Many may not know, but Fernand is StarBe’s Shella’s younger brother. Therefore, with their recent comeback REVIVAL, GALAXY members have introduced a new concept. It is a blend of modern dance music with Indonesian traditional music!
Through elements of Indonesian batik and dances, the members want to deliver an inspirational message to their Galaxyan that struggle is significant and there is no giving up. Because someday, we will survive and shine dazzlingly. Thus, with the new look and motivation, GALAXY’s comeback REVIVAL has earned the title of ‘Original Indonesia, Taste Internation!’
