Archibald Poernomosoegih (born 8 October, 1999), known professionally as Archie Pelago, is a Hindia Belandan rapper, singer-songwriter and producer. Pelago rose to international prominence in February 2016 with the release of his single Anarcho-Lorecianism, a self-produced track accompanied with a music video shot by a smartphone that topped the Commonwealth Top 100 for 13 weeks. In May 2016, Pelago became the first Hindia Belandan artist to be invited to perform at the annual Weltevredefest musical and cultural festival in Jakarta without having at least one year of musical career. In July of that year, Pelago released his second single Cookie Dough, which rose to the top 20 in several musical charts, and headlined the Tanau Music Festival in Tanau.

Pelago is one of the fastest-rising musical artists in Hindia Belandan music history. He is currently signed to Noon PM and reportedly working on a new album titled Class Consciousness.
