Music career
Besari began his career as a vocalist for several indie bands, such as Hellfairies and Eat Well Earl. Eat Well Earl was formed by Fiersa and his friends with their song "Standing Next To You". However, the band disbanded when Besari's friends got married one-by-one, which then forced him to pursue a solo career.
In 2009 he has been recording and storing music from ballad songs he wrote which were later compiled into an album. Besari then decided to sell his album in 2012.{{Cite web|url=https://kumparan.com/amp/groovy/kenalan-dengan-musisi-dan-penulis-berbakat-era-milenial-fiersa-besari-1r3DaeNA5rU|title=Kenalan dengan Musisi dan Penulis Berbakat Era Milenial, Fiersa Besari - kumparan.com|website=kumparan.com|access-date=18 August 2023|archive-date=7 May 2022|language=id|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220507123100/https://kumparan.com/amp/groovy/kenalan-dengan-musisi-dan-penulis-berbakat-era-milenial-fiersa-besari-1r3DaeNA5rU|url-status=live}} "Melangkah Tanpamu" is the embryo of his works and 11:11 is his first album, which six years later becomes a book with the same title.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mousaik.com/news/sekilas-cerita-tentang-lagu-lagu-fiersa-besari-|title=Sekilas Cerita Tentang Lagu - Lagu Fiersa Besari|website=www.mousaik.com|language=id|access-date=19 August 2023|archive-date=7 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220507123101/https://www.mousaik.com/news/sekilas-cerita-tentang-lagu-lagu-fiersa-besari-|url-status=live}}
