Family

[edit]

Harvey Benjamin Malaihollo, born on May 3, 1962, in Jakarta, Indonesia, hails from a musically inclined family; his mother was a member of the Titaley Sisters, and his grandfather was the renowned Indonesian singer Bram Titaley. From an early age, Harvey was immersed in jazz music, often singing alongside his mother, Maudy Titaley. His father, Daniel Benjamin Malaihollo, nurtured his musical talents by encouraging him to buy Cassettes and LPs (Black plates) to introduce him to the works of iconic artists like Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson. Despite initial comparisons to the late Broery Marantika, Harvey established his unique identity in the Indonesian music scene, with his distinctive thick moustache becoming his signature look.[2][dead link]
