Rudy Putu Artana (Rudy) was born in Denpasar on October 29th 1995. He has studied at SMK 3 Sukawati (KOKAR) and ISI Denpasar. He began learning gamelan in the 3rd grade. His parents had been encouraged to bring him to the local banjar to study gamelan. After practicing for some time he became a fan. In his second year at junior high school he represented Denpasar in a competition of traditional music, and after winning the competition, went to Surabaya to represent the province of Bali at FLS2N (National Students Art Competition Festival). Later, with other students at SMK 3 Sukawati (KOKAR) he represented the province of Bali at the same event (FLS2N), this time held in Medan. After returning from the trip he began to follow the traditional music contest carried out by KEMENPORA in Jakarta. Today he continues to concentrate his energy on gamelan music, both practically and theoretically.
