I’m Viccxi
Ovic Prastama
"I live and breathe music. Every song I make—written, played, and produced by me—is a piece of who I am. Without music, I’m not sure I’d even exist. I wasn’t born with talent; I carved it out of obsession, long nights, and too many unfinished demos. My dream? Big arenas, bright lights, and a crowd that knows every word. Until then, I’ll be somewhere you can’t see—making more noise."
About Me / The Manifesto
Hi, I'm Ovic — known to the world as Viccxi.
I am a 100% independent artist, meaning every single frequency, every lyric, and every distortion you hear is a direct extension of my own hands and mind. I don't just write and play my songs; I produce them from the ground up. I wasn’t born with talent; I carved it out of obsession, long nights, and pouring my soul into unfinished demos until they became my truth.
If you trace the red thread connecting my entire discography—from the 8 tracks of the Remnants album to singles like Maspera, Lasting Memory, and Tak Akan Nyata—it all boils down to one undeniable core: the lingering traces of trauma. I have spent too much of my past in the position of the one being hurt. Those repeated emotional scars left heavy, permanent marks on my psyche. It breeds a very real, paralyzing fear—the fear that I might slowly grow numb, that I might completely lose feeling in the present just to survive the memories of the past.
Because of that overwhelming noise in my head, my approach to music is entirely, unapologetically emotional. I know there are listeners who hear the layered structures, the post-hardcore aggression, or the intricate guitar work and assume there is a rigid, mathematical calculation behind my songs. They are completely wrong. There is no formula, no theoretical perfection, and no calculation. Every track I make is just raw, unfiltered emotion bleeding out into the microphone and the fretboard. It is pure instinct. It is chaos turned into sound.
I draw my deepest inspiration from artists who bleed into their art. Toru Kitajima (TK) and Hiro from My First Story are my absolute role models. The way they channel pure, unapologetic emotional agony and brilliance into their music without holding back is exactly the energy I breathe into Viccxi. They don't just play notes; they scream their souls out, relying heavily on emotional gravity rather than sterile perfection. That is exactly what I do when I lock myself away to create.
For me personally, every lyric penned and every distortion I crank to the limit is my way of processing that pile of pain. It is a necessary catharsis to turn a dark phase into an honest, unfiltered piece of art.
My dream? Big arenas, bright lights, and a crowd that knows every word, screaming that same pain back at me. Until then, I’ll be somewhere you can’t see—making more noise.
