Anggun Cipta Sasmi (born April 29, 1974, in Jakarta, Indonesia) is an Indonesian singer/songwriter with French citizenship. Having already had tremendous success in her homeland Indonesia since she was 12, she decided to pursue an international career and left Indonesia in 1994. After a year in London, she settled in Paris, France and met producer Erick Benzi, who later helped her sign a record deal with Sony Music France and recorded her first French album, Au Nom de la Lune, in 1996. In late 1997, Anggun made history for being the first Asian artist to break into international music scene by releasing her first international album Snow on the Sahara in Europe, Asia, and America. This album produced her biggest hit to date, "Snow on the Sahara". Anggun was born in Jakarta, Indonesia as the second child and first daughter of Darto Singo, an Indonesian song writer. She was raised in Yogyakarta, an old Javanese capital and cultural center. Her father trained Anggun in singing since age 7 with high discipline. She was trained various vocal technique and respiration technique everyday. After she could sing well, her mother acted as her manager to accept the singing orders.
