ALL ABOUT MUSIC

Aunur Rofiq Lil Firdaus. Ia dilahirkan dari pasangan Dra. H. Lilik Sholelah dan Abdul Gofur, di Jember, Jawa Timur, 16 Maret 1974. Walaupun Opick kecil dikenal anak bandel, tetapi dalam hal mempelajari agama, ia termasuk anak yang rajin. Dari kedua orangtuanyalah pendidikan agama lebih banyak diperolehnya. Cucu K.H. Abdul Mukti, seorang kiai yang cukup ternama di daerahnya, ini memiliki jiwa mandiri, percaya diri, dan pikiran ke depan. Sebagai anak yang datang dari keluarga sederhana, Opick termasuk anak yang terbiasa menelan kehidupan lingkungan susah sebagaimana umumnya kehidupan di perkampungan.

Kali pertama Opick memahami arti kemandirian, bermula sejak di bangku SD ketika ia harus tinggal di tempat kos agar bisa dekat dengan sekolahnya. Di sinilah sebetulnya jiwa kepemimpinannya tertanam karena segala tindakan dan sikapnya harus diambil sendiri tanpa mengandalkan ibu-bapaknya yang berada jauh dari tempat kosnya. Sikap ini berlanjut hingga di masa remaja. Perasaan minder dengan keadaan yang dijalaninya acapkali ditutupi dengan perilaku-perilaku yang berani dan menunjukkan sikap-sikap yang menarik hati teman sebayanya. Opick berani mengambil sikap melawan arus untuk mempertahankan prinsip dan cita-cita yang dipegangnya. Meskipun begitu, ia dapat diterima oleh kawan sebayanya, bahkan dalam beberapa kesempatan, selalu dijadikan pemimpin oleh teman-temannya.

Sejak SMP, Opick sudah memiliki bakat bernyanyi dan mampu memainkan beberapa alat musik, bahkan mendirikan sebuah band. Perjalanan bermusik Opick dijalani dengan panjang. Namun, tekad dan kerja kerasnya terus tertanam untuk bisa mencapai kesuksesan. Ketika memasuki usia dewasa, Opick tetap memegang teguh prinsip hidupnya. Berbeda dengan ketika ia kecil, pada masa ini Opick lebih berpikir bagaimana mewujudkan cita-citanya, khususnya dalam berkarier di dunia kesenian (musik dan teater). Setelah tamat SMA, ia memutuskan untuk bisa berdomisili di Jakarta dalam mewujudkan cita-citanya.

Dengan modal rekaman lagu dengan alat yang serba terbatas, ia menawarkan lagu-lagunya. Namun, semuanya sia-sia. Tidak ada label yang menerimanya. Pada 1993, awalnya Opick berdomisili di Jakarta, tepatnya di Gang Sawo, Rawamangun. Selain aktif dalam kegiatan warga dan keagamaan serta ramah berbaur dengan lingkungan sekitarnya, Opick ikut kegiatan Komunitas Sawo atau dikenal dengan komunitas teater Bela Studio. Waktu itu, opick sangat bercita-cita bisa bergabung dan aktif di Bengkel Teater yang dipimpin Rendra. Kehidupan Opick di Jakarta di masa-masa itu jauh dari kemapanan. Modal di Jakarta adalah sedikit bakat dalam kesenian khususnya dalam hal musik dan ilmu agama secukupnya. Namun begitu, di lingkungannya ia dikenal sebagai seorang santri. Hal itulah yang membuat greget dalam dirinya. Dia menyesali betapa ia tidak mendalami agama sejak dari dahulu. Dengan itikad itulah, ia terdorong untuk lebih mendalami agama di Jakarta. Besar di lingkungan santri sedari kecil menjadi modal kuat baginya dalam berinteraksi dengan ilmu agamanya.

Nazril Irham atau akrab disapa dengan panggilan Ariel atau Ariel Noah lahir di Pangkalan Brandan, Langkat, Sumatera Utara , 16 September 1981. Dia adalah seorang penyanyi Indonesia yang merupakan vokalis dari grup musik fenomenal Peterpan yang kemudian berganti nama menjadi NOAH. Ariel adalah anak bungsu dari 3 bersaudara dari suku Melayu. Ariel adalah vokalis kelompok musik populer Peterpan. Ariel juga tercatat sebagai mahasiswa jurusan Arsitektur Universitas Parahyangan, Bandung. Ayah Ariel adalah seorang pegawai lapangan di perusahaan minyak Pertamina. Sementara ibunya adalah ibu rumah tangga biasa. Karena berprofesi sebagai pegawai lapangan, sang ayah bekerja di lokasi yang berpindah-pindah.

Gara-gara hobi menggambar, Ariel sempet bercita-cita jadi arsitek. Tapi, di tengah perjalanan hidupnya, ia menemukan satu hobi baru yang diminatinya, yaitu bermain musik. Dari sinilah Ariel kemudian meniti karier. Ariel pernah menikah dengan Sarah Amalia, namun kini telah bercerai. Bersama Sarah, ia dikaruniai putri bernama Alleia Anata. Ariel resmi bercerai dengan Sarah pada 27 Mei 2008.

Tinggal di Pangkalan Brandan beberapa bulan, Ariel kecil dan keluarga harus pindah ke Langsa, sebuah kota yang ada di Nangroe Aceh Darussalam. Setelah tinggal di sana selama tujuh tahun, Ariel sekeluarga lantas pindah ke Bandung. Sebuah kota yang udah dianggap Ariel sebagai “rumah”-nya sendiri. Sejak kecil Ariel telah memperlihatkan bakat besar di bidang seni, tapi bukan di bidang menyanyi. Bakat seni yang terlihat dari Ariel justru di bidang menggambar. Dia sempat menjuarai beberapa perlombaan menggambar di Bandung.

Sejak kelas I SMP, Ariel telah intens membentuk grup musik band. Band pertama yang dibentuknya bernama Peppermint. Sayang, nasib nih band ini hanya bertahan tujuh bulan. Lantas, Ariel membuat band lagi bernama Sliver, Cholesterol dan Topi. Lagi-lagi, semuanya bubar di tengah jalan. Tapi, band yang disebut terakhir lumayan berjasa buat kariernya. Beberapa orang yang tergabung di Topi –termasuk Ariel-, sepakat membentuk band baru. Sebuah band yang diberi nama Peterpan dan bertahan sampai sekarang.

Bersama Peterpan, Ariel berupaya menembus kafe-kafe top di Bandung. Penampilan Peterpan yang atraktif plus vokal Ariel yang berkarakter diam-diam menarik minat Noey –eks basis Java Jive yang belakangan jadi produser- untuk memasukkan lagu mereka dalam album kompilasi Kisah 2002 Malam. Lagu Mimpi Yang Sempurna yang termuat di album kompilasi itu sukses jadi modal buat Peterpan untuk menembus industri rekaman. Tahun 2003, Peterpan merilis album Taman Langit.

Album ini ternyata meledak. Harus diakui, salah satu faktor yang mendukung larisnya album ini adalah vokal Ariel dan kemampuannya mengolah lirik. Lirik-lirik yang dibuat pengagum Kahlil Gibran ini amat dalam. Mampu menyentuh dasar hati pendengar lagu-lagunya. Wajar jika nama Ariel semakin
melambung. Posisinya sebagai frontman memungkinkannya menjelma jadi idola baru. Puncaknya, saat album Bintang di Surga dirilis pertengahan 2004 lalu. Ariel bener-bener jadi pujaan pencinta musik Indonesia dari Sabang sampai Merauke.

Di tengah banjir popularitas, Ariel sempet terganjal masalah. Ia digosipkan telah menghamili pacarnya, seorang gadis asal Semarang yang bernama Sarah Amalia. Gosip ini tak dapat dielakkan oleh Ariel. Belakangan, ia malah bersedia mengawini Lia untuk mempertanggungjawabkan perbuatannya. Sebuah perkawinan yang dirahasiakan dari sorotan media. Menikah di usia muda sempet membuat banyak orang ragu pada kelangsungan karier Ariel dan Peterpan. Keraguan itu jelas harus dijawab oleh Ariel. Caranya, apalagi kalo bukan terus berkarya dengan sepenuh hati. Terus menghasilkan lagu-lagu yang menghibur dan bisa dinikmati oleh pendengar musik Indonesia. Selain berkarier di dunia musik, Ariel sekarang menjadi bintang iklan. Ia menjadi model iklan Sunsilk bersama model Amy Lee.

Selain itu, Ariel pun menjadi bintang film dalam film populer Sang Pemimpi. Ariel memerankan tokoh Arai, seorang pemuda yang tak pernah berhenti bermimpi. Pada bulan Juni 2010, Ariel terlibat skandal rekaman video berisi adegan persetubuhan yang melibatkan dirinya dengan Luna Maya dan Cut Tari. Sidang Pengadilan Negeri Bandung, Jawa Barat akhirnya menjatuhkan hukuman penjara terhadap Ariel Peterpan selama 3 tahun 6 bulan, dan denda Rp. 250 juta. Dalam kasus tersebut, Luna Maya dan Cut Tari dijadikan saksi.

Setelah 2 tahun mendekam dipenjara, Ariel kemudian keluar dari penjara pada tahun 2012, ia hanya dikenakan wajib lapor. Setelah keluar, Ia bersama personil Peterpan lainnya (Uki, Lukman, Reza) plus David yang baru bergabung, kemudian Pada 2 Agustus 2012, mereka mengumumkan nama baru mereka, yaitu Noah. Noah sendiri berarti membuat nyaman, memberi ketenangan, dan panjang umur. Tidak hanya nama bandnya berganti, nama sebutan penggemar mereka juga berganti nama dengan menghilangkan embel-embel Peterpan. Pada bulan yang sama, menggunakan nama baru, band ini merilis singel "Separuh Aku". dan buku "Kisah Lainnya". Buku ini dijual di semua toko Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia dengan harga Rp. 65.000 + Bonus CD Audio Album Instrumental "Suara Lainnya". Pada September 2012, Noah merilis album studio bertajuk Seperti Seharusnya. Lagu andalan album ini adalah "Separuh Aku" dan "Hidup Untukmu Mati Tanpamu". Penjualan album baru ini dilakukan melalui gerai KFC dan sudah terjual hingga 200 ribu keping selama tiga hari pertama penjualannya.

Pada 15-16 September 2012, Noah melakukan konser di Melbourne, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapura, dan berakhir di Jakarta. Setelah CD original album Seperti Seharusnya terjual 1 juta kopi dalam waktu 5 bulan setelah perilisan, Noah mendapatkan penghargaan berupa plakat Multiplatinum dari Musica Studios dan Swara Sangkar Emas.
