Warm Voice
As a lyric soprano, Deasy is known for her warm voice with deep tone color and rich timbre. Her vocal quality is defined not only by her beautiful voice but also by its clarity and resonance. She is highly notable for her long legato lines, refinement in details, and remarkable musicality. Performance-wise, her expressiveness and her ability to engage her audience are some of her strong points. All are truly revealed in her nuanced music performance, and most importantly, by her genuine passion for music.
"Zelden heb ik iemand gehoord die zo verfijnd muzikaal is, zo serieus en toegewijd en ook nog eens een beeldschone stem heeft. Deasy heeft ontzettend veel mogelijkheden om uit te bloeien tot een prachtige concert en operazangeres in Nederland. Ze zal met haar bijzondere talent de muziekwereld verrijken."
"To find one's voice is a joy. But as you can hear it grow and mature, the delights are multiplied a hundredfold."
~ Nancy Telfer ~

"Deasy has a big beautiful voice and she is extremely musical and expressive, which are talents very suitable for an opera. She is not only a quick learner but also into detail in refining her music."
"One is never done with learning; and that is especially true of singers."
~ Lilli Lehmann ~

Other Works
In 2021, Deasy co-produced Di Antara (In-Between) music film for a fundraising campaign, where she also performed as a soloist for a couple of songs and narrated the film.

Thus, it broke both physical and cultural barriers, acting as a bridge, bringing different societies together, and touching people's hearts through art and music. Kindly enjoy the film and her "Dido's Lament" in Purcell's Dido and Aeneas.

testimonials
"The combination of a musical sense that is both spirited and elegant and a full, clear, and beautiful sound make her extremely well-suited to the lyric fach, ranging from the lyric Mozart roles to twentieth century repertoire. Deasy is a communicative and engaging artist and at ease singing in quite varied styles, from Handel and Bach to Menotti."
"Deasy's performance showcased a high level of singing, a strong resonant and communicative voice and the ability to touch an audience. Her view on Western Music from an Indonesian perspective adds diversity to the way we understand and perform the repertoire."
"Deasy was able to bridge between the Dutch-European and Indonesian culture and was an indispensable asset in helping the artistic director in connecting with the Indonesian artists, understanding and interpreting the director’s ideas into concrete actions and technique."

Deasy recorded an Indonesian song called Bunga Seroja - Bangka Belitung, back in 2012. It was supported by the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. Follow her enchanting voice, explore the exotism of Indonesia, and be captivated by its beauty!
Sang by Deasy, Aria for the End of Time was composed by Alfian Emir Adytia as a part of his Death of Beauty album. The song was recorded during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was a time when life seemed fleeting and the threat of death was looming on the horizon... a reminder...
"But to me the actual sound of the words is all important; I feel always that the words complete the music and must never be swallowed up in it. The music is the shining path over which the poet travels to bring his song to the world."
~ Lotte Lehmann ~
"Of course, there is no ‘authenticity’. Of course, we don't know all the answers. Even if we did, it wouldn't make us perfect performers. Music-making must always involve guesses and inspirations, creative hunches and improvised strategies, above all, instinct and imagination. But if we don't have all the answers, the least we can do is to set out on our journey with the right questions."
