Brilio.net - The name Thito Hitler remains tough. Hutasoit or better known as Thito Tangguh has not been heard of in the Indonesian music industry for a long time. However, recently, he returned to greet his fans by releasing a mini album containing several of his best songs, including Kuhati Kau dengan Cintaku.
This mini album was also a turning point for Thito in the music industry. This is because the singer, who has been known since joining Cipta Song Popular (Cilapop) in 2006, had a vacuum like he disappeared into the earth.

" Please pray, right now I'm recording to release a new mini album ," said Thito accompanying his upload, Friday (24/5).
Apparently, Thito's vacuum in the music industry was not without reason. Through his TikTok comments page, he said that he had experienced an incident that almost caused him to lose his life. He had to rest completely because he was electrocuted by 10 thousand watts of electricity .
"I was electrocuted by a 10,000 watt electric shock at a gig, resulting in me being in a coma for 18 hours and mild amnesia, so I had to recover for years. Now I want to try to get back up," he explained.
Thito was electrocuted while performing at a swimming pool
When he was a guest star on Pagi Pagi Pasti Happy, Thito Cilapop said that the incident occurred while he was performing in the swimming pool area. He immediately fainted after being electrocuted. The video of him being electrocuted also circulated widely on social media.
"At that time I was using a cable mic. So I was singing to entertain the visitors in the water pool. Finally from the stage I shook hands with him (the visitor), he was in the swimming pool. Then, like that, he was electrocuted. Thito doesn't know exactly what happened (after electrocuted)," he said, as reported by YouTube TRANS TV Official.
This incident made Thito have to undergo treatment in hospital for up to 2 weeks. He also had amnesia or memory loss. He admitted that he was unable to remember what was happening at that time.

"In the hospital for 2 weeks. So when I woke up, I was asked 'what's your name? Thito'. What do you do? Singer'. I remember. Then the doctor asked again 'Who is the current president? Megawati'. Even though at that time the president was SBY. "So the memory goes backwards," explained Thito.
It was a difficult road for Thito to have a career in the music industry
Thito's journey in pursuing his career as a singer has been full of twists and turns. Apart from having to rest for several years because he couldn't get tired after being in a coma for 18 hours, his parents also faced opposition when pursuing a career in music.
Even though he didn't get approval, Thito was still enthusiastic about achieving his dream as a singer. His name became known after releasing the hit single 'Ku Hate You With My Love' in 2005 which was included in the album 'Cipta Popular Songs' released by Sony BMG in 2006.

In 2019 he returned to enliven the country's music scene after successfully overcoming the trauma following an electric shock accident. He released the single Tak Daya which tells the story of a man in love who doesn't want to be separated from his lover.
"Finally in 2019 or 9 years after the accident, I was finally able to release a new single entitled 'Berdua Tak Mendua'," he admitted as quoted by YouTube Palpres Official.
Unfortunately, the challenges still won't leave Thito. Because, not long ago the single was launched, promotional activities for the song had to stop because the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, including Indonesia.
