Agmon,
born in Jakarta (1 July 1986) is an Indonesian singer and actress. She
started her career in the entertainment industry at the age of six as a
child singer. She has recorded three children’s albums. She also became a
presenter of several children’s television programs. As a teenager,
Agnes expanded her career to include acting. Her role in the soap opera
Pernikahan Dini rocketed her name into the industry. Later, she became the highest-paid teenage artist in Indonesia.
In 2003, she released her fourth studio album
And the Story Goes, which marked her transition from a child singer to a female artist. On her fifth studio album,
Whaddup A.. ‘?! (2005), she collaborated with American R&B singer
Keith Martin. She also appeared in two Taiwanese drama series,
The Hospital and
Romance in the White House. She participated in the 2008 and 2009
Asia Song Festival in

(2009), for which she served as the producer and songwriter. In 2010,
she was appointed as one of the judges on the talent show
Indonesian Idol and was also one of the international hosts of the red carpet at the
American Music Awards of 2010 in Los Angeles.
In addition to her commercial success, Agnes is the most-awarded
Indonesian singer. She has received numerous awards, including ten
Anugerah Musik Indonesia awards, seven

industry.She was also appointed as an anti-drug ambassador of Asia, and as the ambassador of

human trafficking.
Throughout her career, she has often been controversial in Indonesia.
When she was a teenager, her frequent comments about her goal to break
into the international market was viewed by some as a pompous
proclamation. In 2010, however, she began work on a debut English studio
album. Consequently, her slogan “Dream, Believe, and Make it Happen”
was used in a 2011 cultural conference to inspire young people organized
by the
US Embassy in Jakarta.
