The couple behind Original Production were in London this summer for the Sonisphere Festival. They organise events, such as music concerts and family shows, in Indonesia. These two have brought Beyoncé, Dionne Warwick, Bon Jovi, Air Supply and many other acts to Jakarta.
When Tommy Pratama was a kid he'd dreamed of this job and even got in dentention for drawing promo posters he'd dreamt up. There was this one time (his wife told us as he sat quietly/shyly for it seemed like this wasn't the first time she'd told the tale) when his friends in class were telling him to put the drawings away or he'd get in trouble. He was drawing a poster saying that Deep Purple and Scorpions were putting on a concert in Jakarta. His teacher snatched it off his desk, laughed at what he'd drawn, saying that it'd never happen, and gave him detention. Some years later he organised this very concert and a kid that was in that class with him was in the audience, found Tommy and hugged him to congratulate him for achieving his dream. While Tommy had actually forgotten all about that incident.
