Since childhood, Uut has always liked to sing and often won district competitions. Not just entirely into singing, Uut also diligently practiced ballet and traditional dance, such as Yapong. Thus, making her body very flexible when singing and swaying. Uut moved to Jakarta in 2003 to develop her career. She rose to fame with her song "Putri Panggung" (English: Stage Princess). It was the theme song for a short drama, Laris Manis, on SCTV. Uut had performed not only in Indonesia, but also in the neighbor countries like Malaysia, Hong Kong and Korea.
