Hi, it’s me Rica!

My first album called “Enough”. Begin from all these journeys that I’m about to share with you. No matter how hard this life is, God’s grace is always ENOUGH. His Love is Enough, His Mercy is Enough.

He guide us! We are His son and daughter. He is here now and then.

I don’t know what was on my mind 14 years ago, when I started writing lyric and sang it into a song. To be honest, I had a lot of faith to it at that time. I’m going to tell you what really happened.

Working as a musician at the early age made me listen to a different kind of music.

I teach piano, became a recording player, and also joined various bands as the lead keyboard player and backing vocal, and performed around cafés, hotels, and churches back in my hometown Jakarta, Indonesia. And with all my busyness, I forgot what I really belong.

I love music that for sure. But to enter the music industry, that would be a different story! Doubt, fear, and anxious about my music career came easily.

Until one day, I decided to stop. Stop writing all those lyric and melody. The fear got me.

Well, “God plan is not my plan”. As the time passed, I couldn’t help it but writing and singing. Then I knew….He wants me to do this.

In 2008 God called me to moved to Atlanta,GA, where I was afraid about the possibility. In January 2009, the journey began. Suddenly, I was offered a job by an Indonesian church based in Los Angeles. So I moved to Los Angeles and had a long distance relationship with my ex boyfriend (now he is my wonderful husband) Devin, for almost a year. It was a great experience!

Back then in Los Angeles, God showed His love and mercy to me like never before.

I was working as a Music Director in Indonesian Christian Church (JKI Church); I didn’t have a lot of friend at the first time, but then I met so many great friends, and they all became my godly friends until now.

I also did a couple music projects and had the privilege to performed at Inland Empire Gospel Festival 2009 also an open worship for an event at Fullerton Theology Seminary.

On the latter part of 2009, I moved back in Atlanta with invaluable experience during my stay in Los Angeles. About one and half year later, I got a precious call that surely Gods way for me. He answered PRAYER! It became clear that I should do what He want me to do. I pray for every person who read this will find comfort and peace in my music. We’ve all had times when we feel powerless in our circumstances, but with the grace that God gave to us, our heart will not be weary anymore. We don’t need to understand His way now, Just remember about His goodness and faithfulness … It will strengthen our heart. God is whispering to you right now, “Everything is gonna be alright ‘coz I AM here, My Love is ENOUGH for you.”
