context_page_description: Maia Estianty, known as Maia Ahmad during her marriage to fellow musician Ahmad Dhani, is an Indonesian musician, music producer, songwriter, singer, actress, businesswoman, talent show judge, and television personality.
  Estianty was born in Surabaya, East Java, and showed interest in music at an early age, winning a marching band competition while still in elementary school. She began training as a disc jockey while still in junior high school; it was around this time that she first met Dhani. After studying at the University of Indonesia, Estianty joined Dewa 19 as a backing vocalist. In 1999, she and Dhani came up with the idea for the musical duo Ratu. Estianty played the music, while other women – first Pinkan Mambo, then Mulan Jameela – sang. Ratu was highly successful. After the dissolution of the band in 2007 and bitter divorce in September 2008, Estianty formed Duo Maia with Mey Chan. She is currently focusing on producing music with her label, Le Moesik.
context_section_description: Estianty and Dhani divorced on 23 September 2008. The separation of the couple, who had been married for twelve years and had three sons; Ahmad Al Ghazali, Ahmad El Jallaludin Rumi, and Abdul Qodir Jaelani, was not amicable. Estianty filed a police complaint accusing Dhani of abuse, and Dhani refused to give Estianty custody of their children, appealing to the Supreme Court of Indonesia after several lower courts ruled that the children were Estianty's. In 2011, Dhani was reportedly in a relationship with Mulan and had a child with her, and Dhani gave Estianty visitation rights in 2012.
  Maia submitted an appeal to the Supreme Court, because she could not see her children easily. On 14 May 2013, the Supreme Court decided that the children could choose themselves since the children were considered capable to make a decision, to which Dhani agreed.
  On 29 October 2018, she married businessman Irwan Mussry in Tokyo, Japan.
