Anggun was born in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, on 29th April 1974. Her full name is Anggun Cipta Sasmi, in Bali it means “A grace born out of a dream”.
Her father, Darto Singo, was a famous singer and producer in Indonesia and Anggun decided to follow in her father’s footsteps.
At the tender age of 7 years she recorded her first album with children’s song. At 12, after becoming interested in rock music, she recorded her second heavily rock influenced album, “Dunia Aku Punya”, that in the indonesian language mean “World of mine”. This album became very popular and she became a megastar in East Asia.
Following the success of “Dunia Aku Punya”, Anggun returned to the studio to record new albums (“Tua Tua Keladi in 1990, “Anak Putih Abu Abu” in 1991, “Noc Turno” in 1992 e “Anggun C.Sasmi…Lah!” in the 1993).
The young rock diva was also busy outside the studio, performing a number of extensive tours throughout Asia.
It was while on tour in Borneo that Anggun met her future husband Michel Georgea (a young French engineer on one of her tours). Her parents did not approve of her marriage at first, but eventually relented. In the 1994 the young singer then decided to leave Indonesia and try her luck in Europe.
