Recently, he also released the Indah Story which was a collaboration with Veren and part of the live worship Worship Night at JCC. The song was released by Impact Music in March 2024.
On the other hand, Melitha is also known for her twin sister, Melisha Sidabutar, who was born on January 8 2001 with a birth time of two minutes apart.
As teenagers, both of them were contestants for the Indonesian Idol Special Season. However, only Melisha got the golden ticket from the jury. Meanwhile, Melitha did not escape.
However, this situation did not stop him from singing. Melitha continues to use this talent, especially to sing spiritual songs.
Throughout his life, he sung and released more than 20 songs. He then became the winner of the 2023 Anugerah Musik Awards for Best Song Production with Christian Spiritual Lyrics.
In this nomination, Melitha actually entered twice, namely for Giving Thanks which she sang herself, and Just Being Grateful which was her collaboration with Sudirman Worship.
Until the final victory he got thanks to the song Giving Thanks. Melitha also won this trophy three years after she released her first song. He also touched on his living conditions and the song.
He got this trophy about three years after his twin, Melisha Sidabutar, died on December 8 2020 when he was 20 years old. At that time, Melisha was thought to have died due to an enlarged heart.
“At the end of 2020, it felt like I had lost hope, the future, lost my other half, making me unable to express gratitude at all,” Melitha wrote at the time.
“But because of His goodness, and His grace, until today I am able to stay alive and even work.”
