Brilio.net - If you go back to the 80s and 90s, the singers who were popular at that time were the Indonesian Lady Rockers . These include Nicky Astria, Nike Ardilla, Inka Christie, Poppy Mercury, Ita Purnamasari, and many more.
Including the woman who took a photo with legendary singer Nike Ardilla . The tomboy-looking girl is a young singer who has taken the Indonesian world by storm, with a distinctive hoarse voice.
This tomboy girl who did not graduate from high school has released an album entitled Dunia Aku Punya (1986), which was produced by Ian Antono, guitarist for Godbless. This album was his first debut as a young singer at that time.
His name began to skyrocket when he released and popularized the single entitled "Dream" in 1989. At that time his name began to spread in the Indonesian music industry. In addition, the songs "Tua-Tua Keladi" and "Come Back Love" also exploded. This success was engraved in Popular Magazine as the Most Popular Indonesian Artist 1990-1991.
Yes, that's right, she is Anggun Cipta Sasmi, a woman born in Jakarta in April 1975. Her father is a writer named Darto Singo, while her mother Dian Herdina is a housewife who is still a descendant of the Palace, Yogyakarta.
In 1994, Anggun left Indonesia to realize his dream of becoming an international artist. He sold his record company, Bali Cipta Record and moved to Europe to start a career from zero.
While in Europe, Anggun diligently sent recordings to various studios in England. It took a long time for Anggun to release her album, until a French producer, Erick Benzi, helped Anggun record her first international album entitled Snow on the Sahara (1997).
Snow on the Sahara was released in 33 countries around the world, including America, which at that time was a global music mecca. There have been 7 studio albums and 1 soundtrack album for the Danish film "Open Hearts" (2002).
Not only was he successful in releasing an album with an extraordinary single. Anggun has also collaborated with foreign artists several times. Just say there are Julio Iglesias, David Foster, Melanie C (Spice Girls), Il Divo, and many more.
Anggun's career became even more successful when he became a judge on Asia's Got Talent (2015), which was attended by 27 countries on the Asian continent. Anggun became the first Indonesian singer whose albums won gold and platinum awards in several European countries.
Seeing her track record in the music industry that raised her, it is not surprising that Anggun now has a prosperous life with her husband and daughter in France. It is even known that Anggun has a Country House with a private forest that he can visit at any time.
This natural style house is in Normandy, northern France. The building is not big, but the area inside is quite comfortable with complete facilities and good furniture.
Each room has a unique design, some are minimalist and some are classic in style like old buildings. In this house there is a balcony in front of which there is a large expanse of forest. This spot is the Anggun family's favorite place to relax.
So, that's a brief look at Anggun C Sasmi's career journey until she was able to live a luxurious life in France. Even though at that time Anggun never finished high school, thanks to her dreams and efforts, she was able to have the popularity and prosperity she has today.
