The trio now named Kayon was formed in 1986 by Indra Lesmana (piano), Gilang Ramadhan (drum), and Pra B. Dharma (bass)—this trio was formerly known as P.I.G. In 1989 Kayon released one free-jazz album titled Lost Forest. After being inactive due to each personnel’s activities, in 2007 Kayon published an album titled Tree of Life having ethno-jazz pattern, comprising eight songs influenced by some Indonesian ethnical music—for example Betawi, Banyuwangi, Bali, Central Java, Sunda, Papua, Aceh, and Kutai Pesisir (coastal Kutai). In late 2007, Kayon was invited to perform at The House of World Culture, Berlin.

Indra Lesmana studied music at the Conservatorium of Music, Melbourne, and where he learned from Australian jazz musicians such as Don Burrows. His music career developed with some of Australian well-known jazz groups, such as The Basement and Soup Plus. He has created 200 compositions and 18 solo albums, and has been involved in the recording of 50 albums. Pra B. Dharma studied fine arts with a minor in music at the University of Washington, Seattle. He learned guitar at the Berklee College of Music, Boston in 1977. He participated in forming Krakatau in 1985, and is still active in this group until now. Gilang Ramadhan has been playing several music instruments such as piano, violin, and drums since his childhood. In 1973, in France, he studied piano and organ with Slamet Abdul Sjukur. He majored in percussions at Los Angeles City College (LACC). Gilang joined several Indonesian jazz groups such as Nebula, Karimata, Krakatau and, in 2002, founded Nera.

Trio yang sekarang bernama Kayon dibentuk pada tahun 1986 oleh Indra Lesmana (piano), Gilang Ramadhan (drum), dan Pra B. Dharma (bass)—trio ini semula disebut P.I.G. Pada tahun 1989 Kayon merilis satu album beraliran free-jazz berjudul Lost Forest. Setelah lama vakum karena kesibukan masing-masing personilnya, pada tahun 2007 Kayon meluncurkan album yang diberi tajuk Tree of Life yang bercorak ethno-jazz, berisi delapan lagu yang terpengaruh sejumlah musik etnik di Indonesia—misalnya Betawi, Banyuwangi, Bali, Jawa Tengah, Papua, Aceh, dan Kutai Pesisir. Pada akhir tahun 2007, Kayon diundang untuk berpentas di The House of World Culture, di Berlin, Jerman.
