Maulidia Octavia (born 1 October 1991), known professionally as Via Vallen, is an Indonesian dangdut singer.[1][2] Her stage name, "Vallen", is taken from Evanescence's first album Fallen.[3]

Via started a career in singing at the age of 15.[1][4] Her presence in the Indonesian show business is often considered similar to that of Isyana Sarasvati because of the resemblance of her face.[5] Via has a support group of fans from different cities named Vyanisty, inaugurated on 24 September 2010. Her solo career began with the release of her first single, "Selingkuh" in early 2015.[6] Her single "Sayang" is her most popular song, having reached more than 100 million views on YouTube, making it the second most viewed Indonesian music video of 2017.[7] Via is also a dangdut singer who sang the theme song for the 2018 Asian Games, "Meraih Bintang" (lit. "Reach for The Stars").[8]
