At a young age, Anggun decided to follow in the footsteps of her father, Darto Singo, and become an entertainer. During her early years, she was influenced by the rock music of native Javanese artists and by rock & roll singers and bands, such as Elvis Presley, Metallica and The Police. She was educated in Catholic schools.[citation needed] Anggun began performing at age 7 and recorded her first album two years later. She scored a string of successful singles and albums in late 80′s but Anggun’s fame reached its peak with the release of her 1990 hit, “Tua Tua Keladi”–a story of a flirtatious old man–which garnered her a Most Popular Indonesian Artist award. The single itself was a massive hit in Indonesia, peaking at number one for one month and cemented Anggun’s position as one of Indonesia’s most popular singers. In 1992, Anggun began a relationship with Michel de Gea, a French man, whom she had met the year before in Borneo while touring. They eventually decided to tie the knot, despite their age gap and a rumored objection by Anggun’s family, reportedly because they felt Anggun was too young to get married. She also founded her own record company, Bali Cipta Records, and released what would be her final Indonesian studio album, “Anggun C. Sasmi…Lah!!!”. She attempted to shed her tomboy image with the video for the album’s first single, “Kembalilah Kasih (Kita Harus Bicara)” (English: “Come Back My Love (We Need to Talk)”). The album was another smash hit for Anggun but she began to feel unsatisfied with her success in her country and started thinking about having an international music career. The following year, she released a best-of compilation album of all her Indonesian hits, entitled “Yang Hilang” (English: “The Missing One”) and sold her record company to fund her move to Europe.
