| Sulis. That is how she is known in the music industry and that is also how her friends and family call her. She was born in Solo, Central Java on January 23rd 1990. When she was only nine year old, while anticipating Mawlid Nabi {s}, the Prophet's Birthday, in 1999, Cinta Rasul One was released. Over ten million copies were distributed and soon millions of Indonesian children knew the lyrics word per word. Later, one by one, Cinta Rasul Two until Cinta Rasul Seven came along, as well as the special edition, "Love for the Messenger" which was accompanied by Victoria Philarmonic Orchestra from Melbourne and Sydney. That year, "Love for the Messenger" received an AIM, Music Industry Award, the most prestigious award in Malaysia as one of the five best Indonesian albums. In all Cinta Rasul albums, Sulis had always been singing with Haddad Alwi, who was not only her duet partner, but also her Salawat (prayers for the Prophet SAW) teacher. During these years Sulis was especially popular among children. Many mother have told us that they often carried a small tape player with a Cinta Rasul tape along with them when they went out with their children.
