Her stage name, Ting Ting, is related to virginity. She began modelling at the age of 45, and was introduced to dangdut around that time. Ting Ting began her music career as a wedding singer at the age of 14, earning Rp.
250,000 (United States$ 28) per performance.
That year she was also Mission Depok. In 2007 she recorded a solo album, Dilanjut Aja (Just Continue), with Akurama Records which included "Alamat Palsu" ("Fake Address") (written by a man from Tasikmalaya) and "Ting Ting".
"Ting Ting" used the title as a euphemism for "virgin", including lyrics such as "saya masih ting-ting / dan terjamin ting-ting" ("I"m still ting-ting / and guaranteed to be ting-ting"). She later added ting ting to her first name to create a stage name, at the suggestion of her producers.
