Titi Handayani Rajobintang (born 10 February 1981), 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! (They Say I'm a Monkey!). 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 (Sunday Morning in 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 first role as an antagonist in Rindu Purnama (Longing for the Full Moon). She disliked the role as she did not 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.
