Present

Nowadays, Agnes Monica has became Indonesia role model. She change her style so many times. And many people are following her style. From her series Amanda she influence people to use preppy look for their style and then don’t forget about her hairstyle. Because of Amanda series her hairstyle become so famous. I have experienced it  myself ,once  when I was in a salon I heard one of the customer said this “ Do you know Amanda style? Well I want my hair to be like her”. Not just for the series, her casual style also influenced people. She usually wears tank top. Now, when you want to try to find a white tank top just ask the shopkeeper” Do you have Agnes Monica tank top?” and they will understand that.

Performances. That’s what make people really wait for her . Her performance always perfect. When people decide to watch an artist to perform, they always want the artist performances become perfect includes their style, their voice and as well their communication with the audience. And when you watch Agnes Monica you will get all of that. She always powerful at the stage, singing, dancing she can do both of that perfectly. And not many Indonesian artist who can dance perfectly like American artist such as Britney Spears. Once I remembered she ever sang Britney’s Song called “ Me Against the Music” and she sang it better than her.

She has released 2 studio albums which are ...and the story goes... and Whaddup, A'..?! and gave her huge success in music industry. She has been collaborated with big names in music scene such as Ahmad Dhani, Melly Goeslaw, Ari Bias and Keith Martin.

Currently, she's preparing herself to appear in West music scene. A raising star with a lot of talents, including, singing, dancing, acting. She is a young lady with a mature motivation and dedication.

One thing that make people really favor Agnes is because although she is a big actress she never forget her GOD. Unlike the other actress  who like to hide their religious side,  Agnes is not like that. In every awards she accept she never forget to thank her savior   JESUS CHRIST. She ver said once : All I got now is from GOD, so I have to return it again to GOD”

Well, I think that’s what I can write for now. But I assure you that although this biography is finish but her career is still a long way to go. And This biography will continued when she succeeded entering the international world. Way to go GIRL !!!

Agnes Monica- a Phenomenon and “ What a Funky Lady !!!”
