They played the band from campus to campus. Although the new group (founded officially on April 8, 1997), they are classified as mature and is always firmly in every concept that they make. From the beginning they established themselves in the path of pop rock. Maybe that's why Sony Music is interested in managing Padi. Previously, Aquarius and RIS Music reject them. But they had refused to be a track buddy mainstay on their first album. You see, they have set up For Demi Cinta the song hero. That's why the song Sobat, which according to Sony's interesting, is inserted in the Indie album Ten. "Maybe it's our path, must come first compilation album," said Yoyo.
