Poppy Mercury was an Indonesian pop singer who became an iconic figure in the Indonesian music scene during the late 80s and early 90s. Born as Poppy Yusfidawaty on November 15, 1973, in Bandung, she rose to fame with her ballads and pop songs that resonated deeply with the heartstrings of her audience. Her emotionally charged voice and melancholic tunes struck a chord with many fans, making her one of the beloved figures of Indonesian pop music.

Among her string of hits, songs like "Antara Jakarta dan Penang," "Badai Asmara," and “Surat Undangan” are very much celebrated. Her ability to blend the traditional Indonesian sound with the modern pop ballad structure resulted in a slew of successful albums including "The Best of Poppy Mercury," which featured many of her well-known tracks. Tragically, her life and career were cut short when she passed away at the young age of 27 on August 28, 1995, due to complications from a brain hemorrhage. Despite her untimely death, Poppy Mercury's musical legacy continues to live on through compilations and greatest hits albums, such as "Poppy Mercury (Seleksi Terbaik 2004)," "History Hits Of Memory," and her poignant singles, which still receive considerable airplay and affection from fans across the region.
