The color was originally the god of music is more pop, but then the fans of jazz Erwin, introducing jazz music in his group. DEWA also changed direction toward jazz, so Henry is a big fan of rock music in 1988 decided to come out and join the Outsider which among other member Ari Lasso.
What distinguishes the god with other Surabaya group when it is the color of music they played. If another group likes to bring the flow of heavy metal Judas Priest or Iron Maiden, the god appears with the song - Toto's song is more pop. Only everything changed when Erwin are fond of jazz music began to introduce fudion of Casiopea. Andra and Dhani manteng originally in the path of rock, at last follow-up as well. Dewa's music format too slowly - the land shifted, even those not
just play the songs - songs Casiopea, but also works from other famous jazz musicians such as Chick Corea or Uzeb. Dhani, Erwin, and Andra then chestnut - dreams want to be like Krakatoa or Karimata, two more famous jazz group at that time. This makes Henry moody, heavy rock music fans are feeling the color god was out of line. Henry finally decided to come out in 1988 and joined the Outsider which among others consists of Ari Lasso. A year later crossed over to Pythagoras. The position of the god and then replaced Henry in his class brothers, Salman. Gods name was changed to Down Beat, a name taken from a magazine published by American jazz.

To the East Java region and beyond, the name of Down Beat well known, especially after successfully dominate stage festivals. Call it Jazz Festival Teenagers in East Java, the first winner Festival '90 high school band or a second winner Needles Super Fiesta Musical. Meanwhile, Pythagoras had succeeded in becoming finalists Indonesian Rock Festival that was held Zhelebor Log promoter. But for the four guys who are psychologically still in the search for identity that, jazz was also just a stopover. Once the name Slank fly their dream changed.Henry Juniarso immediately called back to turn the Gods and Ari Lasso join. The name of the god re-erect, the difference this time wearing strings - simply because the appendage 19 - average age of players 19 years old. Just as Slank, Dewa 19 was mixing together a variety of music: pop, rock, even jazz, which gave birth to a new alternative for Indonesian music repertoire at the time. Classmate Henry, Aaron, apparently attracted by the concept and immediately disburse the funds of Rp. 10 million for memodali friend - his recordings. But since there is no studio in Surabaya are eligible, they were forced to Jakarta when the amount of funds was clearly fit - barely. As a result they have to save more money down - badly, all things done alone, including raising the goods and so forth. But here they tested musicality.
Debut album, 19 completed just 25 shifts course. Including exceptional for the size of local musicians who had just stepped jungle capital. With a master's in hand, Dhani roaming from one record company one to another record company to use city buses, while Erwin, Henry, Andra and Ari wait for the results in Surabaya. Was rejected there - here, the master was finally ogled by Jan Djuhana from Team Records, which had catapulted Kla Project.Di successful beyond expectations, sales numbers explode in 19 albums
market, after passing numbers 300,000 copies, the BASF reward them with two awards at once. Each - each for the categories Best Newcomer and Best Selling Album of 1993. In the making of the album format is characterized by the departure of the Future Henry Juniarso in the absence of compatibility between them.

After that in making the next album Dewa use additional music for the drummer who, among others: Ronald and Rere. After the album The Best - The Best finish, go Wong Aksan drummer position. But after completing the album Five Pandavas, on June 4, 1998 Wong Aksan removed from Dewa 19, for beating drums Aksan assessed leading to jazz music and instead go Ben Sulaksono (former members of Neutral Milk Hotel)because it was felt that Dewa 19 will concentrate dijalur rock music, and need a drummer with the typical rock music game. Ben was eventually pull out of this group and join to form a group Bebi Romeo.
Amid the problems, personnel changes god, there are other, more serious problem is the two god personnel Ari & Erwin experiencing drug dependence. This causes a vacuum in the music world Dewa Indonesia. Ari Lasso is extremely difficult to contact had led to a 5 star album delayed. Erwin decided to enter rehabilitation and boarding schools to eliminate that bad habit. Finally after a long time managed to recover Erwin
total and began preparing to finish the album to 5, although only as an Additional Erwin player. But the problem does not end up there, because Ari Lasso increasingly difficult to contact, finally god decided to find a replacement vocalist who helped raise the name of god. Dhani finally met with Elfonda "Once" Mekel and invited to join. Because the drummer position is still vacant, God also decided to seek a replacement Ben. Once chance to have a drummer friend of Tyo Nugros which eventually became the Drummer god.

After a long time to prepare materials for the fifth album entitled "Five Stars" in 2000 succeeded in the release of this album. Apparently with 2 people personnel turnover in the body of the god is to bring fresh air, with the explosion of the album is the fifth god. Erwin again officially became bassit god. And this is expected to last formation Gods. The success of the fifth album Gods spur to immediately make the next album, the album six, entitled "Love."This album is to be carefully and terkonsep, so that within a reasonably short period of time finally release this album could be in early 2002. In the midst of the sixth album release is a lot of problems that arise. Beginning with the case of the title song "Arjuna Love" in question and finally God decided to change the title to "Arjuna". Unfinished song title problems should lose a god returning personnel. Erwin reportedly backed away from god that supposedly triggered some things can not be tolerated anymore, which is associated with problem management. Gods decided to find a replacement Erwin and pops one name ie Yuke bassist band, The Groove. Yuke invited to join as an additional player. With buffeted by various problems one after another does not dampen the spirit of god to exist. Even more encouraging his name as the band that most music blantika flying in Indonesia.
