Lyodra was born with the name Lyodra Margareta Ginting on 21 June 2003 in Medan City, North Sumatra Province.[9] She was raised in a Catholic family and was given the baptismal name Margareta. The first name Lyodra itself is a modification or another form of the female name in Hebrew, Liora, which means "Light".[10][11] Lyodra is the eldest of two children, from entrepreneur Simar Ginting and psychiatric nurse Natalia Johanna Tarigan.[12] She is known to have a younger brother who is two years apart named Igyralo Ginting.[13]
Lyodra's singing talent began to show since she was 2 years old.[14] When she was 4 years old, she already participated in local singing competitions in Medan City. According to her father, Lyodra was able to sing the song "Ibu Kita Kartini" with a better vibrato technique than her peers, even more than those who have taken vocal lessons before.[15]
In 2013, Lyodra practiced vocals with Derta Purba who is also the vocal teacher of the serious solo singer Putri Ayu Silaen.[16] She also practiced playing the organ while serving as a psalmist at mass at the Catholic Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Medan.[17]
Lyodra's ability to sing with the reach of the whistle register was found to be self-taught. When she was still a seventh grader in junior high school, Lyodra had vocalizations by singing high notes as high as possible at his parents house. Later, she tried the same method using the song "O Holy Night" which was popularized by Mariah Carey. In the song there is a part that requires the singer to touch a high note which is actually difficult for ordinary people to do. However, Lyodra was able to sing the tune just right. Later, she learned that his voice range was called the whistle register.[18] She admitted that he had experienced damage to his vocal cords in 2016, due to excessive singing using the whistle register.[19]
Apart from singing, Lyodra is also studying acting.[20][21] She was a member of the theater extracurricular while studying at St. Ignasius Junior High School, Medan.[22][23] In St. Ignasius also took piano extracurricular activities.[24] After graduating from junior high school, Lyodra continued to SMA Santo Thomas 2, Medan.[25] On the sidelines of his busy singing career, Lyodra continued her education at Pelita Harapan University and majored in communication science.[26]
Lyodra started her career as a national child singer at the Kirana Semen Indonesia 2014 event, which was organized by the BUMN PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. After winning the regional round which was held in Medan City, she also advanced to the final in Jakarta, along with 28 other finalists from 28 cities in Indonesia. In the final round at the national level which was held on 31 March 2014, at Djakarta Theater XXI, Central Jakarta, Lyodra took the top four positions and took home the first prize in the form of cash worth 25 million rupiah.[27]
Subsequently, Lyodra appeared as a participant in the Indonesia Mencari Bakat season 4 event which aired on the national television station Trans TV starting 1 August 2014. After going through various stages of competition and eliminating 19 finalists, on 19 October 2014, Lyodra was eliminated in the big six round.[28] After being left out, Lyodra was signed by the record label GUT Records, which was sheltered by musicians Erwin Gutawa and Gita Gutawa. Together with six other children who are considered to have special talents in the field of music, she was chosen as one of the personnel of the music group project called Di Atas Rata-Rata 2 (DARR 2).[29]
Lyodra's joining with the management of DARR 2 made him involved in various large-scale musical performances. One of them is the Java Jazz Festival 2016 which was held on 4–6 March at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta.[30] In addition, on 2 April 2016, Lyodra along with six other DARR 2 personnel performed in a concert—which was also attended by the Governor of DKI Jakarta (at that time) Basuki Tjahaja Purnama—entitled "Di Atas Rata-Rata 2: Bikin Konser", taking place at Ciputra Artpreneur, South Jakarta.[31][32] She and the six DARR 2 personnel also had the opportunity to appear in front of President Joko Widodo and a number of state guests at the commemoration of the 71st Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia, on 17 August 2016, at the Merdeka Palace.[33]
Less than a year later, Lyodra, who was then 13 years old, took part in an international solo singing competition for children aged 6–15 years, entitled Sanremo Junior 2017, in Sanremo, Italy. Under the direct direction of the DARR 2 vocal coach and choreographer team, she trains intensively every weekend in Jakarta. This made Lyodra have to go back and forth from Medan to Jakarta for almost two months. After completing the pre-competition process, she left for Italy accompanied by Gita Gutawa and sponsored by the Creative Economy Agency of the Republic of Indonesia.[34]
In the peak night of the competition which was held on 3 May 2017, at the Ariston Cinema Building, Sanremo, Lyodra performed the song "Dear Dream" by Gita Gutawa, which was translated by Ria Leimena from the original Indonesian song entitled "Janji Untuk Mimpi". She also managed to become a winner in the competition category he participated in, namely Category A3 (aged 13–15 years), beating nine participants from nine countries. In addition, of the 24 finalists from 18 countries—divided into three categories based on age groups—she was also selected as the only finalist who received a special award from the committee, in the form of the "Prix of Sanremo Junior Committee" trophy.[35][36]

Lyodra received a cash prize of 150,000,000 IDR, as well as one unit of the All New Nissan Livina MPV car.[39] After the show, Lyodra signed a contract with the record label Universal Music Indonesia and was managed by Star Media Nusantara, an artist management company owned by MNC Group.[40][41] Lyodra was recorded as the youngest winner in the history of Indonesian Idol, at the age of 16 years 8 months 15 days.[42]
