His cousin was Elfa Seciora, one of Indonesia's most respected musicians and was the person responsible for introducing the young Widianto to jazz. After studying piano at high school his first gig was as a piano player at the Bandung Savoy and from here he progressed into entering national music competitions before going on to form his first band Kahitna.
