Vaughn Anthony (VA)
An American singer, songwriter, and producer, Vaughn Anthony Stephens — known as VA — is the lyrical and emotional anchor of 3 Egos. Dubbed The Wordsmith of Resonance, VA transforms lived experiences into songs that feel cinematic and deeply human, igniting what fans call “soul reboots.”
Raised in a family of musicians, VA penned his first song at just five years old. He went on to tour for eight years as a background vocalist for John Legend and has been featured alongside Stylz P, Estelle, Ghostface Killah, Prodigy, Rick Ross, and John Legend himself. His influences — Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, D’Angelo, Mint Condition — echo through his work, where vintage soul meets modern innovation. VA also co-wrote and collaborated on John Legend’s Once Again, a platinum-certified album by the RIAA.
With his storytelling and vocal dynamism, VA is the heart of 3Egos, ensuring every lyric hits with resonance and depth.
Shelly O
Born from the underground music culture of Neo-Jakarta, Shelly Oktafiyanti — Shelly O — is the soaring voice of 3Egos. Known as The Sonic Siren, she possesses the rare ability to captivate and transport audiences, her vocals weaving through genres to create emotional worlds without borders.
Shelly first gained traction in Indonesia’s modern dangdut scene, releasing singles like “Merana” and “Janda Super”, before transitioning into Pop and R&B. Her latest single, “Hilang” (2024), and her series of viral YouTube covers have solidified her reputation as a dynamic, genre-bending artist. Her extensive experience — from TV guest appearances on MNC’s Godain and AOMA’s Mencari Bintang to modeling and mini-series roles — has made her a multidimensional performer whose stagecraft is magnetic.
Shelly O’s haunting range and fearless energy make her the soul and spectacle of 3Egos’ live shows.
A.D. Malik
From Makassar to the world, Indonesian-born multi-instrumentalist Irwan “A.D.” Malik is the kinetic core of 3Egos. Nicknamed The Energy Catalyst, A.D. channels his mastery of guitar, bass, drums, and keys into performances that crackle with voltage, creating the sonic charge that powers the group’s dynamic sound.
Starting guitar at age eight, A.D. grew into a touring musician across Asia, performing at Hard Rock Cafés in Jakarta, Macau, Hong Kong, Bali, Pattaya, and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as collaborating with bands throughout Bangkok and Chiang Mai. A producer and songwriter as well, A.D. draws on his dual influences of rock ’n’ roll and classical music to craft songs that balance raw electricity with deliberate artistry.
On stage, A.D. is the fuse that ignites the crowd, ensuring every 3Egos performance is explosive, immersive, and unforgettable.
