He had a small role in the TV show Tunjuk Satu Bintang. Later, he got a main role in Senandung Masa Puber with Bunga Citra Lestari. He continued to appear in many TV shows, TV movies (FTV), and films, like Love is Cinta. People really liked his acting in that movie.
In 2006, a famous musician named Melly Goeslaw created a singing group called Bukan Bintang Biasa (which means "Not Ordinary Stars"), also known as BBB. This group was for Indonesian teen TV shows. Raffi was chosen along with Laudya Cynthia Bella, Chelsea Olivia Wijaya, Dimas Beck, and Ayushita. Their first song, "Let's Dance Together," was very popular. Then, BBB starred in a movie called Bukan Bintang Biasa. The song from this movie became a big hit with teenagers. Their duet song with Ayushita, "Jangan Bilang Tidak" ("Don't Say No"), was also very popular.
In 2008, Raffi's acting career grew even more. He appeared in films like Liar and Asoy Geboy. He became even more famous when he started hosting a music show called Dahsyat. He hosted it with two other talented artists, Luna Maya and Olga Syahputra. At the end of 2008, BBB released a new song, "Putus Nyambung," which was also well-received.
In 2009, Raffi became one of the most popular hosts on Dahsyat. He also hosted two new shows, Rafi Wkwkwk and OMG, with Olga Syahputra. He continued acting in TV movies, the TV show Buku Harian Baim, and the comedy show OKB. He also released a new song, "Johan (Jodoh di Tangan Tuhan)," which was a duet with Laudya Chintya Bella.
On February 26, 2010, Raffi and Yuni Shara performed together at the 2010 Dahsyatnya Awards. After this, they received many offers to work together.
