Oxavia Aldiano was born in Jakarta, Indonesia.[2] His Javanese father, Harry Aprianto Kissowo, was the owner of an event organizer business.[7][8] His Minangkabau mother, Besbarini, was a piano teacher.[9][10] On his father's side, Aldiano is the grandson S. Darsih Kissowo.[11]
His last name Aldiano is an acronym of "Alhamdulillah Dia Nongol" (lit. 'Thank God He Pops Out'). When his mother gave birth to him, Aldiano and his mother were almost helpless because she suffered an illness.[12] When Aldiano was born, his father was grateful and said the phrase.[13] Oxavia means "balance". Meanwhile, Vidi is an abbreviation of his name.[14] He has two younger siblings, Diva Stradivaryan and Vadi Akbar, who are also singers.[15]
Vidi was raised is a family highly appreciative of music. When little, he often listened to ad jingles on TV, humming to the tunes, and he liked the sound of adzan. His parents signed him up for a singing competition. He earned third place in a kindergarten singing competition when he was 2,5.[16] When he was 3, he learned the piano under the tutelage of his mother,[17] then learned the violin when he was in elementary school. He started singing when he was in middle school.[18] When little, he was shy and a bookworm. It caused him to not have many friends in his childhood. During recess, he preferred to spend his time studying at the library.[19]
Aldiano received his elementary and high school education at the Al-Azhar Foundation: SDI Al Azhar 4, Kebayoran Lama (1996–2002); SMPI Al Azhar 3, Bintaro (2002–2005); and SMAI Al Azhar 1, Kebayoran Baru (2005–2008).[20] He formed a duo with Raisa during high school, but their activities did not last long due to a greater transportation cost than money earned.[21] Upon graduation from high school, Aldiano majored in Electrical Engineering at Pelita Harapan University, but he felt not suited to the materials and switched to Management after a few months.[22] Entering college, he adjusted his busy singing career with his studies by buying books. He carried books everywhere, even when in the studio.[23] Aldiano participated in the Summer Program at Berklee College of Music for two months from July to August 2012,[24] studying vocal techniques, theory, musicalisation, and music history.[25] Returning to Indonesia, he entered his seventh and last semester of college.[26] Aldiano completed his studies in mid-2013 with a GPA of 3.62.[27] He then continued his postgraduate studies in the University of Manchester studying Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship starting November 2013.[28] He finished his thesis as graduation requirements on September 2014 after working on it for 3 months with research done in Indonesia.[29] He graduated cum laude on 2015.[30]

He recorded his first album in Grade 10 to replace the songs played at his school canteen. He disliked and was bored with the songs so he intended to record an album himself to be played there. He recorded and produced his songs independently. The album was finished after 3 years, shortly after he graduated.[32] Then, he sent the demo album to record labels, but was rejected 6 times, as male soloists was not trending then. In 2008, music producer Lala Hamid produced Aldiano's debut album Pelangi di Malam Hari.[33] The first single "Nuansa Bening" from the album was a hit in TVs and radios.[34] The second single "Status Palsu" was also a hit.[35]
For Ramadan 2009 (August–September 2009), Aldiano with Vadi Akbar released the compilation religious album Lelaki Pilihan. In the album, he sings "Rindu Rasul" with Sam Bimbo, "Ibunda Kita (Surga Kita)", and "Keagungan Tuhan".[36]

On 24 August 2016, Aldiano released his third album Persona, 5 years after the previous album.[43] The interval between his second and third albums were because of him thinking thoroughly the concept of his third album. His time was maximised on focusing on his album.[44] The 10-song album consists of 7 original songs, 2 rearrangements, and 1 a cappella song.[43] With Laleilmanino, he wrote the composition and lyrics of all the songs.[45] The album was produced over an intense 7-month period.[46] The pre-production, production, and marketing of the album was handled by Aldiano's own label.[47] Vocal recording was done in Indonesia, while mastering was done at Abbey Road Studios, London.[48] On January 2017, the album was certified triple platinum, Aldiano's first, for selling over 250.000 physical copies.[6]
