In creating music, Aldrian often brings up daily issues and wraps them with his personal stories and thoughts. He believes that although everyone has a different personal story, there will still be a common thread over these stories that makes them relevant. Aldrian’s music is also born to be thought provocative and to create dialogue.

His repertoire achieved good things; the single “<a href="spotify:track:3tPzZnXQ7CnfzkfqwR57I3" data-name="Milk Candy">Milk Candy</a>&#34; and &#34;<a href="spotify:track:2arYSOqr7WvzjE3bYAqHWG" data-name="State of Uncertainty">State of Uncertainty</a>&#34; earned him a nomination for &#39;Best Male/Female/Rock Instrumental Solo Artist&#39; at the AMI Awards on 2019-2020.

On 2023, he finally released the long awaited album “<a href="spotify:album:1nQnQFOnQ7MhUk7kIpiaNL" data-name="Jangan Padam">Jangan Padam</a>” that tells the story of a tension between his desire to become a rockstar and his daily life as a salaryman.

With all that being said, we can conclude that Aldrian is a rock music bridge for today&#39;s listeners.
