Anggun Cipta Sasmi (Malay pronunciation: [aŋɡun] ahng-goon; born 29 April 1974) is an Indonesian singer-songwriter. Born in Jakarta, Indonesia, she began performing at the age of seven and recorded her children's album two years later. With the help of famed Indonesian producer Ian Antono, Anggun released her first rock-influenced studio album, Dunia Aku Punya (1986). Her name shot to the top of music scene with the single "Mimpi" (1989), which remains one of the "150 Greatest Indonesian Songs of All Time" by Rolling Stone. She followed it with a series of singles and three more studio albums, which established her position as one of the most prominent Indonesian rock stars of the early 1990s.

Anggun left Indonesia in 1994 to pursue an international career. After two years of struggle in London and Paris, Anggun met French producer Erick Benzi and signed to Sony Music Entertainment. She released her first international album, Snow on the Sahara (1997), in 33 countries worldwide, including the United States. The album spawned her international signature hit "Snow on the Sahara", which reached number one in several countries. Since her international debut, Anggun has released five studio albums in English and French, as well as a soundtrack album to Danish film Open Hearts (2002). She has collaborated with a host of international artists, including Julio Iglesias, Peter Gabriel and Pras Michel of the Fugees.

Anggun is the first Indonesian artist to break into the European and American record charts. Her albums have been certified gold and platinum in several European countries. She has received a number of accolades for her achievement, including the prestigious distinction Chevalier des Arts et Lettres by the French Cultural Minister. Aside from her musical career, Anggun has involved in numerous environmental and humanitarian works. She has been appointed as the global ambassador of the United Nations twice, for International Year of Microcredit (2005) and Food and Agriculture Organization (2009). Anggun is going to represent France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Life and career

1974–93: Early life and career in Indonesia

Anggun was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia, as the second child and first daughter of Darto Singo, a Javanese writer and Dien Herdina, a housewife who still descendants of Yogyakarta royalty.[1][2] Her name means "grace born of a dream" in Balinese. Despite a Muslim, Anggun was sent to Catholic school to get better elementary education.[3][4] At the age of seven, Anggun started receiving highly disciplined singing instruction from her father.[5] She trained on a daily basis, learning various vocal techniques. To help further develop her career, her mother began serving as her manager, accepting singing offers and handling business concerns.[6] At the age of nine, Anggun began to write her own songs and recorded her first children's album.[7][8]


As a teenager, Anggun was influenced by rock music artists such as Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, and Megadeth.[3] At the age of twelve, she released her first official studio album, Dunia Aku Punya (1986). The album was produced by Ian Antono, a famous Indonesian rock musician.[9] However, the album failed to establish her popularity. Anggun shot to the top of music scene after the release of slow rock single "Mimpi" in 1989. It was later ranked by the Rolling Stone magazine as one of the "150 Greatest Indonesian Songs of All Time".[10] Anggun's fame continued to rise with the release of subsequent singles, most notably "Tua Tua Keladi" (1990), which became her most popular hit in Indonesia. After a string of successful singles, Anggun returned to release studio albums Anak Putih Abu Abu (1991) and Nocturno (1992).[2] The former gave her the "Most Popular Indonesian Artist 1990–1991" award.[11]

In 1992, Anggun began a relationship with Michel Georgea, a French engineer, whom she had met the year before in Kalimantan while touring.[12] The couple married, despite a rumored objection by Anggun's family, reportedly because they felt Anggun was too young to get married.[13] Georgea later became Anggun's manager. The following year, Anggun became the youngest Indonesian singer to found her own record company, Bali Cipta Records, and took total creative control over her works.[3] She produced her final Indonesian studio album, Anggun C. Sasmi... Lah!!! (1993), which yielded number-one single "Kembalilah Kasih (Kita Harus Bicara)".[9] By the age of nineteen, Anggun had sold well over an impressive four million albums in Indonesia.[3][11] She began to feel unsatisfied with her success in her country and started thinking about having an international music career. Anggun said: "[By the time] I was 20, I'd made five albums. I'd built my own record company. I'd produced my last album and produced some Indonesian acts as well. And I said to myself: 'I'm tired! I cannot achieve more than I already have. There's no challenge anymore'."[14]

1994–96: Beginnings in Europe

"I dreamt of having this international career, but producers won't come to Indonesia to look for talent when there is so much available in their own countries. I had to go there. I was curious, and I think it's good to change. In Indonesia, we don't have that much information coming in; it comes from just one source. And the Internet wasn't as big as it is now."

Anggun in an interview with journalist Chuck Taylor from Billboard magazine in 1998.[9]

In 1994, Anggun released Yang Hilang, a greatest hits album compiling her Indonesian hits. She later sold her record company to fund her move to Europe. Having given up all of her success in Indonesia, Anggun and her then-husband went to London, England and stayed there for about one year.[14][15] In a 2006 interview with Trax magazine, Anggun admitted to experiencing "culture shock" and having some serious financial problems while trying to start her new life in Europe, saying "I thought the money that I got by selling my record company was enough [to sustain life in London], but I began to lose money, little by little. I had to spend so much on taking cabs and eating! So I ended up taking buses everywhere and going to clubs to introduce myself as a singer." She also admitted that she "had to convert from being this shy, introvert, "real" Javanese woman to being an unabashed, fearless, "fake" Javanese woman."[16]

She began writing songs and recording demos, but after a few months, all the demos she had sent to record companies around England came back with negative replies.[16] She eventually realized that her career in England was going nowhere and began thinking about moving to another country. She thought about moving to the Netherlands, but she changed her mind and went to France instead.[16] Two years after leaving Indonesia, in 1996, Anggun's international career started to move forward at last. She was introduced to producer Erick Benzi, who previously had worked with well-known artists such as Celine Dion, Jean-Jacques Goldman and Johnny Hallyday.[17] Impressed by Anggun's talent, Benzi immediately offered her a recording deal. Later that year, Anggun was signed to Columbia France and Sony Music Entertainment.[2] After a brief French course at Alliance française, Anggun began working on her debut album with Benzi, alongside Jacques Veneruso, Gildas Arzel and Nikki Matheson.[18]

1997–99: Snow on the Sahara and international success

In June 1997, Anggun released her first French-language album entitled Au nom de la lune. The album was a huge artistic departure to Anggun's rock music trademark, experimenting with world music and more adult contemporary sounds.[19] Anggun described the album as "a concentration of all the musical influences of my life. I want to introduce Indonesia, but in a progressive way, in a lyric, in a sound, and mainly through me."[9] The album's first single, "La neige au Sahara", quickly became a hit in France, peaking at number one on the French Airplay Chart and number 16 on the French Singles Chart.[20][21] It became the most-played single in France of 1997 with a total of 7,900 radio airplays and was certified silver with 209,000 copies of single sold.[20][22] Two more commercial singles, "La rose des vents" and "Au nom de la lune", were released and received modest chart success.[21] The album peaked at number 34 on the French Albums Chart and sold over 150,000 copies in France and Belgium.[21] Anggun received a nomination for Le revelation de l'année award (Revelation of the Year/Best New Artist) in Victoires de la musique (a Grammy Award equivalent in the French music scene).[23]


The English version of the album, Snow on the Sahara, was released internationally in a total of 33 countries across Asia, Europe and America in late 1997 to early 1999.[24] The album contained the songs on Au nom de la lune adapted to English by songwriter Nikki Matheson and a cover version of a David Bowie hit "Life on Mars?". For the Southeast Asian market Anggun included an Indonesian song, "Kembali", which became a huge hit in the region.[25] Music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic called the album "a promising debut effort" because "she illustrates enough full-formed talent on the disc".[26] According to him, Anggun "tackles polished ballads, Latin-pop and dance-pop on Snow on the Sahara, demonstrating that she can sing all the styles quite well." The album's first single, "Snow on the Sahara" was a commercial success, reaching number one in Italy, Spain and several countries in Asia, and the top five on the UK Club Chart.[27] The song was also used as the soundtrack for an international marketing campaign launched by the Swiss watchmaker Swatch.[17] Snow on the Sahara has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide and received Diamond Export Sales Award.[28][29]

In the United States, Snow on the Sahara was released in May 1998 by Epic Records.[7] She went on an extensive tour for nine months in the United States to promote the album,[4] including a supporting act for several artists such as The Corrs dan Toni Braxton, as well as participating at the Lilith Fair (performing with Sarah McLachlan and Erykah Badu on stage).[8] She also appeared on American television programs such as The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Sessions at West 54th and CNN WorldBeat interview, and was given a huge coverage on printed media like Rolling Stones and Billboard.[18][30] Despite those publicity, Snow on the Sahara wasn't necessarily a commercial success in the United States. The album peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart and shipped 200,000 units.[4][31] Nevertheless, it still remains one of the highest selling albums by Asian artists on the market. The title track reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play and number 22 on the Billboard Adult Top 40.[32]

2000–03: Chrysalis, Open Hearts and collaborations

In 1999, Anggun ended her seven-year marriage to Michel Georgea, which eventually inspired Anggun to record her second international studio album. Her second French album, Désirs contraires, was released in September 1999. It was a remarkable artistic departure from Au nom de la lune, experimenting with electronic pop and ambient elements as well as R&B music.[19] Erick Benzi again produced the album and this time around, the album featured Anggun's compositions. However, it failed to repeat the success of the previous album. It peaked at number 48 on the French Albums Chart and sold about 30,000 copies in France.[21] Only two singles were released off the album: the tropical-sounding "Un geste d'amour" and the R&B-influenced "Derrière la porte". Both singles failed to achieve commercial success, although "Un geste d'amour" reached number 62 on the French Singles Chart.[21]

It was the English version of the album that enjoyed more success. Chrysalis was released shortly after Désirs contraires and it was a huge artistic growth for Anggun, having co-written the entire album.[24] Distributed simultaneously in 15 countries, the album was never released in the United States due to lackluster sales of her first album.[17] The album spawned hit single "Still Reminds Me", which received high airplays across Asia and Europe.[24] It became her third number-one hit in Indonesia since her international career and her third top 20 single in Italy (peaking at number 17).[33] It also reached the top five on the Music & Media European Border Breakers Chart. She also released a single specially for the Indonesian and Malaysian market, "Yang 'Ku Tunggu" (the Indonesian version of "Un geste d'amour"), which became another number-one hit for Anggun in the region.[25]

At the end of 2000 Anggun received an invitation from the Vatican, asking her to appear at a special Christmas concert alongside Bryan Adams and Dionne Warwick.[17] For the event, she gave her renditions of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" as well as "Still Reminds Me". Her performance was also included on the Noel au Vatican disc compilation. The following month, she started her tour across Asia and Europe, including her first ever concert in France at Le Bataclan on 1 February 2001. The tour ended on 30 April 2001 at Kallang Theater, Singapore.[17] Anggun received the "Cosmopolitan Asia Woman Award" in 2000 and "Woman Inspired Award" in 2002 for becoming the Asian female artist with international success.[34]

During this period, Anggun also did a string of collaborations, soundtrack projects and charity albums. These included a Franglais song with DJ Cam on "Summer in Paris" (it later became a club hit in Europe and Asia for both artists) on his 2001 album, Soulshine;[35] an Indonesian-English song with Deep Forest on "Deep Blue Sea" on their 2002 album, Music Detected; and three collaborations in 2003, including with Italian rock singer Piero Pelù, Serge Lama and Tri Yann.[36] She also participated in several charity projects such as Echoes of the Earth in 2000, Les voix de l'espoir in 2001 and Gaia in 2002 (featuring a duet with Zucchero on the song "World"). Her duet with Piero Pelù on an Italian-English song entitled "Amore Immaginato" became a hit in Italy, spending over two months at the top of Italian Airplay Chart.[27]

Anggun also participated in two Scandinavian movies: contributing the song "Rain (Here Without You)" for Anja & Viktor in 2001, and the whole soundtrack album for Open Hearts in 2002.[17] For Open Hearts, Anggun worked with two Danish producers, Jesper Winge Leisner and Niels Brinck.[37] "Open Your Heart" was released as a commercial single from the soundtrack album and charted at number 51 on the Norwegian Singles Chart.[38] It also earned Anggun a nomination for "Best Song" at 2003 Robert Awards, the Danish equivalent of Academy Awards.[39] "Counting Down" was also released for radio and became a top-ten airplay hit in Indonesia.[25] Anggun's work with Sony Music ended in 2003 due to the company's structural change after merger with BMG Music. She later moved to Montreal, Canada where she met Olivier Maury, a law school graduate. In 2004, Anggun and Maury were married in a private ceremony in Bali.[40]

2004–06: Luminescence

In 2004, Anggun returned to Paris and landed a new record deal with Heben Music, an independent label under Sony BMG France and Universal Music International. She began working on a next album with several producers, including Jean-Pierre Taieb and Frederic Jaffre. Anggun, who composes mainly in English, enlisted the help from several well-known French songwriters, such as Jean Fauque, Lionel Florence, Tété and Evelyn Kral to adapt her English songs into French.[36] In late 2004, Anggun released her first solo French single in nearly four years, "Être une femme". The single was available in two versions: one was the solo version (for commercial release) and the other was a duet with Diam's (for radio release). It became Anggun's second Top 20 hit in France, peaking at number 16 on the French Singles Chart, matching the peak of her debut single seven years earlier.[21] It also became Anggun's first French single to chart on the Switzerland Singles Chart at number 58.[41] Released in February 2005, Anggun's third French album, Luminescence, debuted at number 30 on French Albums Chart and was later certified gold for shipment of 100,000 copies.[42][43] The second single, "Cesse la pluie" also became a hit, peaking at number 10 in Belgium, 22 in France and 65 in Switzerland.[44][45]

The English version of Luminescence—shared the same title with the French counterpart—was released in August 2005 in Europe and Asia. "Undress Me" was chosen as the first single from the English version. Although it wasn't accompanied with a music video, it debuted at number 13 in Italy, becoming her fifth top 20 single there.[46] It also provided Anggun with her first hit in the Middle East, where the song topped the charts in Lebanon and Turkey. "In Your Mind" was released as the second single and it became a huge hit in Asia.[25] The third single, "Saviour", was used as the soundtrack for the box-office movie Transporter 2.[47]

Anggun was awarded with the prestigious distinction Chevalier des Arts et Lettres by the French Cultural Minister for her worldwide achievements and for her support of the French culture.[48][49] She was appointed as the spokesperson for the International Year of Microcredit, a United Nations program aimed at eradicating debt in the third world,[50] as well as the ambassadress for a Swiss watch brand, Audemars Piguet.[51] During the period, she did a duet with Peter Gabriel on charity album Genesis (2004), as well as with Julio Iglesias on a reworked version of "All of You" for his album Romantic Classics (2005). In 2006, Anggun participated on a Fight AIDS campaign in France with a collaborative track entitled "L'Or de nos vies" with several other French music stars.[52]

In August 2006, Anggun released a repackage of Luminescence, both for the French and the English versions. She made the highest jump on the French Albums Chart from number 119 to number 16 (a total 103 levels) with the Luminescence: Special Edition, making it her best-charting album to date in France.[42] "Juste avant toi" became Anggun's fourth Top 40 hit, peaking at number 28 on the French Singles Chart.[21] Meanwhile its English version, "I'll Be Alright", became Anggun's seventh number one hit in Indonesia.[25] Luminescence was re-issued in February 2007 and peaked at number three on the French Back Calatogue Chart.[53]

In December 2006, Anggun received the special recognition "Best International Artist" at Anugerah Musik Indonesia, the highest music awards ceremony in Indonesia. The award was given for role in raising up the Indonesian music in the international recording industry.[54] Anggun released her Best-Of album in Indonesia and Malaysia, which compiled all her international hits, including three re-worked versions of her previous Indonesian hits.[55] "Mimpi" was released as a radio single and became a huge hit in Indonesia in late 2006 to early 2007.[25] Anggun also released Best-Of in Italy with different tracklisting and "I'll Be Alright" as its lead single.[56] She was also featured on German band Reamonn's single "Tonight" and a charity single with several female French stars, titled "Pour que tu sois libre".[21]

2007–10: Motherhood and Elevation

After her marriage to Olivier Maury ended in 2006, Anggun began relationship with French writer Cyril Montana, whom eventually she married.[57] Anggun gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Kirana Cipta Montana, on 8 November 2007.[58] During the year, Anggun participated in several environment project. She became the narrator of BBC documentary film Un jour sur terre or Earth, as well as composed its soundtrack single, "Un jour sur terre".[59] She was appointed as "Marraine des Prix Micro-Environnement" (ambassador of Micro-environment) by the French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development and National Geographic Channel.[60][61] Anggun was awarded "Le Grand Couer de l'annee" for her contribution in social and environmental events in France.[62] In December 2007, she again received an invitation from the Vatican to perform in the Christmas concert in Verona, Italy, along with Michael Bolton.[63] She also performed the reworked version of "No Stress" with Laurent Wolf at the 2008 World Music Awards in Monaco.[64] The performance was so well-received by audiences that Wolf eventually added Anggun's version onto the deluxe edition of his album Wash My World.[65]

In late 2008, Anggun released her fourth international studio album Elevation, which shares the same title both in English and French. A departure from the style of her previous efforts, the album experimented with urban music and hip hop.[66] Elevation was produced by hip hop producer pair Tefa & Masta and features collaboration with rappers Pras Michel from the Fugees, Sinik, and Big Ali.[67] Anggun moved from major label Sony BMG to Warner Music. However, Sony BMG still holds the rights to distribute this album in the Asian market. "Crazy" was released as the lead single from the album, with its French and Indonesian version, "Si tu l'avoues" and "Jadi Milikmu", served as the first single for the respective territories. In Russia, Elevation was released with an additional song, "О нас с тобой", which was recorded as a duet with Russian singer Max Lorens.[68] Prior to its official release, the album had already been certified double platinum, making it her fastest-selling album of her career in Indonesia.[69] In France, the album debuted at number 36 on the French Albums Chart.[21]

Anggun's four-year ambassadress contract with Audemars Piguet was subsequently extended. She was also chosen by international hair care brand, Pantene, and New Zealand-based dairy product, Anlene, as their ambassador.[57] On 16 October 2009, Anggun was appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.[70][71] Anggun also served as a judge for Miss France 2009.[72] In early 2010, Anggun recorded a duet with Portuguese singer Mickael Carreira on the song "Chama por me (Call My Name)", as well as performed at his concert in Lisbon, Portugal on 26 Februari 2010.[73] She collaborated with German electronica musician Schiller, co-writing and contributing lead vocals to two tracks, "Always You" and "Blind", for his album Atemlos (2010).[74] Anggun was also featured on Schiller's concert series, Atemlos Tour, in 14 cities in Germany during May 2010.[75]

2011–present: Echoes and Eurovision

In March 2011, Anggun announced the title of her fifth international studio album, Echoes for English version and Echo for French version. This is the first international album she produced herself. She was also helped by musicians Gioacchino, Pierre Jaconelli, Jean-Pierre Pilot, dan William Rousseau.[76] Anggun also left Heben Music to found her own record label, April Earth.[76] To distribute the album, Anggun gave the rights to Warner Music in Europe and Sony Music in Asia. In May 2011, the English version was released in Indonesia. It topped the Indonesian Albums Chart and was certified platinum in the first week.[77] It eventually received quadruple platinum and became the best-selling pop album of 2011 in Indonesia.[78] "Only Love" and its Indonesian version "Hanyalah Cinta" were released as the lead singles and became number-one radio hits.[79] In November 2011, the French version was released in France and Belgium. It debuted at number 57 on the French Albums Chart with 10,000 copies sold in the first week.[80] "Je partirai" was released as the first single and became a top five hit in Belgium.[81] The English version will be released and promoted internationally in early 2012.

Anggun held her second major concert in Jakarta Convention Center, Indonesia entitled "Konser Kilau Anggun" on 27 November 2011.[79] She also appeared for the third time in Christmas concert in Vatican. This time, she performed her song "Only Love" and a duet with Ronan Keating on "Have Yourself a Little Merry Christmas".[82] In November 2011 it was announced that she will be the French representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Azerbaijan.[83]
