                                        Bayu Djody is a left-handed bassist with Romanian ancestry. Born in a family with metal blood running in his veins, Bayu is the brother of the late Jodie Gondokusumo, founder and ex-vocalist of Rotor - a legendary Indonesian thrash metal band. Bayu started to play the bass since he was 7, and fell in love with the instrument early. Naturally gifted in music, Bayu never took music lessons and learned everything by himself. He spent his youth practicing for eight hours a day, honing his skills and training his perfect pitch ears. A graduate from University of Indonesia, he started playing in Oracle in 2006, and joined Dreamer in 2009. Due to several irreconcilable differences, Bayu decided to part with Dreamer in 2012. In the same year, he joined Blodwen, and since then has been a focal point in Blodwen's sound and performance. Being a left-handed bass player, Bayu is notable for his killer sound and ability to learn everything by ear. His style has been described as 'fast' and 'aggressive'.

Outside the band, Bayu is also a bass clinician and product specialist for several major international music brands in Indonesia. He travels around the country to give out bass clinics and has a vast knowledge on the instrument.
