Titi Handayani Rajobintang, known by the name Titi Sjuman during her marriage to Wong Aksan, is an Indonesian actress and musician.
Titi was born on 10 February 1981. She's just like a guy. She likes sports, she never wear skirts In high school, she supposed to go to economical but she switched to drums because she fell in love with drums; she later recalled that she wanted something "different". She furthered her drum studies at Farabi Music School and the Daya Music Institute. After graduation, she performed at the Java Jazz Festival; she also performed with artists such as Ruth Sahanaya.
Titi made her feature film debut in Djenar Maesa Ayu's 2007 film Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet!. At first, she was contracted to provide a soundtrack for the film with her husband, Sri Aksan Sjuman (also known as Wong Aksan), Maesa's brother. However, Maesa later asked her to take the lead role; after being cajoled by her husband and sister-in-law, Titi accepted. Aksan told her "in a kissing scene, when [she] kiss[es] a man, [her] body should not reject it".
In 2010, Titi starred in Minggu Pagi di Victoria Park, a film about immigrant labour in Hong Kong. For her role, she met with immigrant labourers both in Indonesia and in Hong Kong to "get a deeper understanding" of the role. That same year she and her husband provided the soundtrack to Tanah Air Beta (My Homeland). Although there were some scheduling conflicts, she was able to complete both.
In February 2011 Titi took her 1st role as an antagonist in Rindu Purnama. She disliked the role as she didn't like the character's actions. Later that year she and her husband composed the score to Sang Penari (The Dancer), a film based on the Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk trilogy by Ahmad Tohari, over a period of a month and a half.
Titi enjoys the work of American composer John Williams, citing his works on Star Wars, Memoirs of a Geisha, and Home Alone as some of her favourites.
Titi has won two Indonesian Movie Awards for Best Actress: Her 1st was Best Newcomer for Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet, while the 2nd was for her role in Minggu Pagi di Victoria Park. Her role in Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet! garnered her a Citra Award at the Indonesian Film Festival for Best Actress, while Titi and her husband won a Citra Award for Best Soundtrack for the 2009 film King. She has said that receiving awards is a bonus which drives her to work harder.
Titi is married to fellow musician Sri Aksan Sjuman, who was one of her instructors at Farabi. They often collaborate on writing film scores. The couple have a daughter. Titi is sister-in-law to writer-cum-director Djenar Maesa Ayu. She filed for divorced from Wong Aksan on 14 February 2013.
