Biography

Sri Aksana Sjuman (born September 22, 1970) is a musician and film score composer from Indonesia. Aksan's rise to success began when he became the drummer for Dewa 19 in 1995, replacing Wawan Juniarso. After releasing the fourth album Pandawa Lima, Aksan faced a bitter reality as he was ousted from Dewa 19 on June 4, 1998. He was later replaced by Tyo Nugros, who joined the band from 1999 to 2007, before being succeeded by Agung "Gimbal." In 2000, Aksan joined Potret, replacing Arie Ayunir. He is also the son of legendary Indonesian director Sjuman Djaja from his marriage to Farida Oetoyo.
