Pupun Dudiyawan

www.gitarisindonesia.com -  Pupun Dudiyawan. was born in Sunda land in Kuningan city of West Java, know music from childhood, when he was elementary school. Starting from the introduction of traditional Sundanese music, he began to deepen modern music, and gradually learned about the music industry.
Graduated from PAAP Unpad majoring in marketing made me more steady learning about Indonesian Music Industry.

Although Pupun have self-taught capital (self-taught), finally choose guitar instrument as he identity. Competition and band festival became he first step in modern music with he first band Antares (1998) which changed its name to ZEAL (1999). Festivals, music contests, and others he live as my initial mental train, not just ready to win, but he prepared mentally to be ready to accept defeat. So he can learn many things. Until the end of its ZEAL broke up in 2003.

In 2003 he received an award from the President through the minister of Fisheries and Marine Affairs, in the contest of marine and fishery songwriting contest, with the title of first national champion.

In 2004, he participated in a selection of band player, reality show program of a national private tv, who was then familiar with The Dream Band program. And the producer set the name KAPTEN as he new band. The first album they created named KAPTEN (2005), then the second album MALAIKAT CINTA (2006). All under the auspices of EMI.

In 2008 Pupun started making my ‘Guitar Signature’, 7 strings of course, and started his career as ‘Guitar Clinician’ with guitar ROCKWELL, until 2011.

In 2011 Pupun chose to resign from KAPTEN and decide his own way, and continue his career as ‘guitar clinician’ with SCHECTER guitar, for 7 and 8 strings until 2015.

Not long after, he contacted his friend Darius Sinathrya to help they band project named D’Bandhits. And has produced 2 albums, namely D’BANDHITS (2012) and No LIMIT (2013).

In December 2017 Pupun decided to return to his old band who ever raised his name in Indonesia, namely KAPTEN band. This decision he took after Zacky (Vocalist Captain) assured me that it was time for me to come back and build the CAPTEN back. And now he at the Captain Band.
