Selain bernyanyi, Agnes kemudian juga menjadi presenter di beberapa acara televisi anak-anak. Saat menginjak usia remaja, Agnes mulai terjun ke dunia seni peran. Perannya di sinetron Pernikahan Dini (2001) berhasil melambungkan namanya. Agnes kemudian membintangi sederet judul sinetron yang menjadikannya artis remaja dengan bayaran termahal saat itu [1].

Yess!, album duet Agnes bersama Eza Yayang yang dirilis tahun 1995.

Agnes Monica Muljoto dilahirkan di Jakarta pada tanggal 1 Juli 1986. Ia merupakan anak bungsu dari pasangan Jenny Siswono dan Ricky Suprapto.[3] Ia memiliki seorang kakak laki-laki bernama Steve Muljoto yang kemudian menjadi manajernya.[4] Agnes menyelesaikan pendidikan dasarnya di SD Tarakanita Jakarta, kemudian melanjutkan pendidikannya ke SLTP Pelita Harapan.[5] Di sekolahnya, Agnes merupakan siswi yang berprestasi di bidang akademik dan sering menerima beasiswa, meskipun ia juga disibukan dengan aktivitas luar sekolah seperti kursus piano, bahasa Inggris, seluncur es, dan bulu tangkis.[6] Bakat Agnes di bidang seni sudah telihat sejak ia masih kanak-kanak, khususnya bidang tarik suara. Selain ditempa di gereja, Agnes juga ikut kursus vokal di beberapa tempat.[7]

Saat menginjak usia enam tahun, Agnes memulai kariernya sebagai penyanyi cilik dan merekam album anak-anak pertamanya yang diberi judul Si Meong.[3] Nama Agnes melambung sebagai penyanyi cilik saat ia merilis album keduanya pada tahun 1995 yaitu Yess!, yang merupakan album duet bersama Eza Yayang. Album tersebut dinobatkan sebagai "Album Anak-Anak Terbaik" pada tahun 1999.[8] Album lain yang telah dirilis Agnes yaitu Bala-Bala. Ketiga album tersebut berhasil melejitkan Agnes ke jajaran penyanyi cilik terpopuler di era 1990-an.[7] Selain bernyanyi dan merilis album, Agnes juga menjadi presenter acara anak-anak yaitu Video Anak Anteve (VAN) di Anteve, Tralala-Trilili di RCTI, dan Diva Romeo di Trans TV. Agnes berhasil meraih penghargaan Panasonic Awards untuk "Pembawa Acara Anak-Anak Terfavorit" selama dua tahun berturut, 1999 dan 2000.[9]

Menginjak usia remaja, Agnes mulai terjun ke dunia seni peran, dimulai dengan penampilannya di sinetron Lupus Millenia dan Mr. Hologram pada tahun 1999.[5] Pada tahun itu, Agnes berhasil menempati urutan pertama jajak pendapat artis beranjak remaja terbaik versi artiscilik.com.[5] Pada tahun 2000, Agnes menjadi pemeran utama di sinetron Pernikahan Dini bersama Sahrul Gunawan. Sinetron inilah yang berhasil melambungkan nama Agnes dan menghapus citranya sebagai seorang artis cilik.[9] Akting Agnes di sinetron tersebut berhasil meraih penghargaan "Aktris Terfavorit" pada Panasonic Awards pada tahun 2001 dan 2002, serta SCTV Awards sebagai "Aktris Ngetop" pada tahun 2002.[9] Selain itu, Agnes juga menyanyikan dua lagu ciptaan Melly Goeslaw berjudul "Pernikahan Dini" dan "Seputih Hati" sebagai lagu tema sinetron Pernikahan Dini. Kedua lagu tersebut merupakan penampilan pertama Agnes sejak kemunculannya sebagai penyanyi cilik beberapa tahun silam. Kedua lagu tersebut telah dirilis dalam album kompilasi bertajuk Love Theme (2001).[10] Sepanjang tahun 2002, Agnes telah membintangi tiga judul sinetron, yaitu Ciuman Pertama, Kejar Daku Kau Ku Tangkap, dan Amanda.[8] Ia juga berkolaborasi dengan penyanyi Yana Julio dalam lagu "Awan dan Ombak" dalam album Jumpa Lagi.[11] Seiring dengan popularitasnya, Agnes berhasil menjadi artis remaja dengan bayaran termahal di Indonesia pada saat itu.[1]
[sunting] 2003–2004: And the Story Goes

Pada tanggal 8 Oktober 2003, Agnes merilis album dewasa pertamanya bertajuk And the Story Goes. Penggarapan album ini melibatkan beberapa musikus kenamaan Indonesia, termasuk di antaranya Ahmad Dhani dan Melly Goeslaw.[12] Agnes menjelaskan "Untuk album baruku ini, aku memang ingin segala sesuatunya dipersiapkan dengan matang. Dari pemilihan lagu, musikus, sampai konsep videoklip, aku ingin yang benar-benar oke."[13] Proses penggarapan album yang memakan waktu selama 1,5 tahun tersebut juga disibukan dengan audisi penari dan program gizi untuk mempersiapkan stamina Agnes sebagai penyanyi.[12][13] Proses persiapan yang benar-benar matang tersebut akhirnya membuahkan kesuksesan pada album tersebut. Aquarius Musikindo selaku label yang menaungi Agnes melaporkan bahwa And the Story Goes sudah laris dipesan sekitar 35.000 keping sebelum dirilis secara resmi.[13] Tak lama berselang, album ini kemudian meraih double platinum dengan penjualan lebih dari 300.000 keping.[5][14] Album pertama Agnes ini mengangkat "Bilang Saja" sebagai singel pertama dengan klip yang mengusung konsep street fashion.[12] Singel lain yang lahir dari album ini yakni "Indah", "Cinta Mati", dan "Jera". Selain sukses secara komersial, album ini juga membuahkan sejumlah penghargaan. Pada ajang Anugerah Musik Indonesia 2004, Agnes memenangkan tiga penghargaaan dari total sepuluh nominasi, yaitu sebagai "Artis Pop Solo Wanita Terbaik" untuk lagu "Jera", "Karya Produksi Dance/Tehno Terbaik" untuk lagu "Bilang Saja", serta "Duo/Group Terbaik" untuk kolaborasinya dengan Ahmad Dhani di lagu "Cinta Mati".[15] Ia juga berhasil meraih penghargaan sebagai "Pendatang Baru Terbaik" pada Anugerah Planet Muzik 2004 yang digelar di Singapura. Kesuksesannya dalam usia yang masih sangat muda membuat Agnes mendapat julukan "Diva Muda" dalam kancah musik Indonesia.[8] Ia juga mulai memasang target untuk bisa berkarier di kancah internasional.[16]

Sepanjang tahun 2003, selain disibukan dengan perilisan album pertamanya, Agnes juga menggarap sinetron Cewekku Jutek sebagai pemeran utama bersama Roger Danuarta. Pada tahun berikutnya, Agnes membintangi dua sinetron, Bunga Perawan dan Cantik.[17] Penampilan Agnes dalam tiga sinetron tersebut mengantarkannya meraih penghargaan Panasonic Awards 2003 sebagai "Aktris Terfavorit" dan SCTV Awards 2004 sebagai "Aktris Ngetop". Di tengah kesibukannya sebagai penyanyi, Agnes masih tetap memperhatikan pendidikannya. Setelah lulus dari bangku SMA Pelita Harapan, ia menempuh pendidikan di Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) pada jurusan Hukum.[18]

Pada awal tahun 2008, Agnes membintangi sinetron kejar tayang RCTI berjudul Jelita.[32] Agnes mulai menggarap album studio ketiganya dan merilis lagu berjudul "Matahariku" lebih awal sebagai singel pertama. Sampai saat ini, "Matahariku" merupakan singel terlaris Agnes dengan penjualan nada sambung mencapai lebih dari tiga juta dalam waktu sembilan bulan.[33] Videoklip "Matahariku" juga telah ditonton lebih dari 4,5 juta kali di YouTube, menjadikannya video musik Indonesia yang paling banyak ditonton.[34] Lagu tersebut kembali membuahkan Agnes penghargaan di MTV Indonesia Awards sebagai "Most Favorite Female" serta Anugerah Musik Indonesia 2009 sebagai "Artis Pop Solo Wanita Terbaik".[35] Pada bulan September 2008, Agnes meluncurkan singel kedua berjudul "Godai Aku Lagi" yang merupakan ciptaannya sendiri.

[sunting] 2010–sekarang: Awal karier internasional

Memasuki tahun 2010, Agnes mendapat kehormatan menjadi juri dalam ajang pencarian bakat Indonesian Idol.[49] Kehadiran Agnes di ajang tersebut sempat diragukan karena usianya yang masih terlalu muda. Agnes berkomentar "Kalau pengalaman, jangan dilihat dari umur. Dengan prestasi yang aku dapat, enggak ada beban buatku berada di antara Mas Anang dan Mas Erwin. Aku sendiri merasa bukan jadi juri, aku dibiarkan jadi diri sendiri, aku sebagai teman mereka [para peserta]. Aku akan bagi pengalamanku ke mereka."[50] Agnes juga ditunjuk menjadi duta MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) dalam misi memberantas perdagangan manusia.[51] Pada tahun ini, Agnes meluncurkan singel berjudul "Karena Ku Sanggup" yang ia ciptakan bersama musikus Andi Rianto.[52] Ia juga membintangi sinetron berjudul Pejantan Cantik yang tayang di Indosiar.

Agnes merupakan penyanyi solo yang mengusung jenis musik pop, R&B, dan hip-hop.[36] Ia mengakui Aretha Franklin, Jill Scott, Angie Stone, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Fantasia, dan Beyoncé memengaruhinya dalam bermusik.[60] Agnes juga sering dibanding-bandingkan dengan artis Amerika lainnya, terutama Britney Spears dan Christina Aguilera.[61] Meskipun demikian, cukup banyak pula penyanyi Indonesia yang terpengaruh Agnes dalam hal gaya bernyanyi dan penampilan.[62][63][64] Penyanyi dari negara tetangga, Stacy, bahkan mendapat julukan sebagai "Agnes Monica Malaysia" akibat pengaruh Agnes pada dirinya.[65] Agnes memiliki jenis suara sopran yang melengking dengan jangkauan vokal mencapai empat oktaf.[46][66] Ia merupakan artis pertama dalam kancah musik Indonesia yang menggunakan teknik vokal whistle register pada lagu "Karena Ku Sanggup".[67] Untuk lagu-lagu bertempo cepat, Agnes memadukannya dengan koreografi yang energik di atas panggung, sehingga sering mengharuskannya untuk tampil secara lip sync.[66] Selain sering berlatih vokal, Agnes juga rajin melatih gerakan tari dan stamina untuk menunjang penampilannya. Sampai saat ini, Agnes merupakan satu-satunya artis Indonesia yang memiliki grup tari pribadi yang bernama Nezindahood.[68] Penari-penari dalam grup tersebut dipilihnya melalui audisi sejak penggarapan album pertamanya pada tahun 2003.[12] Seiring dengan profesinya sebagai penyanyi, Agnes juga mengembangkan kemampuannya dalam bermain piano dan menulis lagu.[23] Bakat Agnes dalam mencipta lagu mulai terbentuk saat menggarap album Sacredly Agnezious, saat ia menciptakan tiga lagu termasuk singel "Godai Aku Lagi".[69]

Agnes merupakan artis yang selalu membawa tren baru di kalangan anak muda, khususnya dalam hal penampilan, baik itu pakaian, aksesori, maupun tata rambut.[2] Melalui penampilannya di atas panggung, video musik, dan sinetron, Agnes telah memopulerkan berbagai gaya berpenampilan, mulai dari punk rock hingga harajuku.[2] Namun demikian, Agnes juga tak jarang dituduh tidak orisinal dan cenderung kebarat-baratan. Agnes menanggapi komentar mengenai dirinya tersebut dengan berkata:
“ Tidak ada satu pun di dunia ini yang "original" tanpa pengaruh dari hal lainnya. Saya beruntung lahir dan dibesarkan di Indonesia (specifically Jakarta) di zaman ini di mana kita (dalam hal ini Indonesia) sangat terbuka dengan proses globalisasi. Budaya Timur dan budaya Barat saling memengaruhi, ya begitu keadaannya. Intinya, adanya pengaruh antarbudaya jangan dianggap sebagai "budaya yang berbenturan", tapi anggaplah sebagai budaya yang "saling melengkapi". Ambil yang baik dari budaya-budaya tersebut dan tinggalkan yang negatif. Jadi, ya, saya ini adalah produk Indonesia dan produk era globalisasi.[47] ”

Ketertarikan Agnes dalam dunia busana mendorongnya untuk menekuni bisnis clothing line yang mendapat sambutan bagus.[70] Menurut survei yang dilakukan majalah Cosmopolitan pada tahun 2010, Agnes merupakan penyanyi wanita terseksi di Indonesia.[71] Ia juga sempat meraih Kartini Award dari Wanita Indonesia Tanpa Tembakau (WITT) dan World Health Organization (WHO). Menurut Ketua Umum WITT Nita Yudi, "Karena Agnes adalah artis muda berprestasi yang enerjik, dan pastinya tidak merokok. Semoga dapat menjadi contoh yang baik bagi generasi muda."[72] Agnes juga merupakan selebriti yang tertutup mengenai kehidupan pribadinya di media. Ia sering diterpa gosip menjalin hubungan khusus dengan sejumlah nama, namun tak satu pun yang ia konfirmasi.[73]

Sebagai salah satu figur paling dominan dalam industri hiburan Indonesia, Agnes telah mendapat kepercayaan untuk menjadi bintangi iklan ataupun duta oleh berbagai merek produk.[74] Agnes juga telah terlibat dalam sejumlah kegiatan sosial. Ia melakukan kegiatan penggalangan dana untuk membantu para korban bencana, seperti di Sumatera Barat dan Situ Gintung.[75][76] Agnes juga membantu menggalang dana senilai lebih dari Rp 400 juta untuk Persis, tim sepak bola Surakarta, melalui konser yang diadakan di Diamond Convention Center di Surakarta.[77]

NEZindaHOOD dancers TESTIMONY
Fri, 25 Mar 2011

(NEZindaHOOD dancer, Sandri) -- Awal gabung di NEZINDAHOOD Dancers pada pertengahan thn 2008. Saya lolos audisi dari sekian ratus peserta,hehehe.....
Seru banget,pengalaman yg gak pernah terbayangkan sebelumnya jadi "back dancer - seorang Agnes monica" #realtalk.

Selama di NEZINDAHOOD, banyak banget pengalaman, cerita dan kejadian-kejadian lucu ketika latihan maupun show. Contohnya kalo lagi latihan dance, setiap kali break, pasti adaaa aja bahan ketawaan, entah itu "kang Eja" yang selalu bertingkah ala "azis gagap" atau "Inu" yg selalu jadi bahan ledekan anak-anak, sampe "drama queen" Nezindahood yg gak ada akhir ceritanya!hahahah....

Trus kalo lagi latihan fisik. Lucunya jadi inget jaman-jaman sekolah, pagi² udah ada dilapangan hijau, jogging + lari disekeliling lapangannnya. Cuma bedanya disini, coachnya "parah" hahaha (sorry,coach)! Inget banget kita lari 90menit dilapangan, udah gitu pindah ke dlm ruangan trus disuruh push up combination dan berbagai posisi+bentuk badan yg gk tau apa namanya? sampe sempet ada pingsan dan muntah-muntah.bwuahahahha...
Hal-hal kayak gitu yang gak mungkin lupa dan kalo inget pasti ketawa sendiri,hahaha....oiya!! Ada cerita lucu yang gk mungkin lupa nih, waktu kita latihan tiap hari yg dari jam 10 pagi sampe 10 malem, inget banget break latihannya pake stopwatch cuman berapa menit dan langsung dipantau sama mamih! Hehehehe....seru!! Tiap kali break,paling cuma sempet ketoilet + minum doank...:D wuakakaka....

Beruntung bisa gabung di NEZindaHOOD, ketemu orang-orang yang care, easy going, humoris, dan jahil banget..

Ketemu ka'Agnes, yang orgnya selain udah kayak kakak, bisa jadi temen curhat (and u know what,semua anak Nezindahood curhatnya sama dia, termasuk "abah" Dadang ) dan salutnya,ternyata aslinya down to earth ...tiap kali selesai latihan fisik pasti ngajak anak-anak makan ayam dipinggiran,kalo nggak bakso dan sate langganannya.hahahaha......

Pokoknya buat saya,NEZINDAHOOD udah kayak keluarga mau apapun kondisinya,kita selalu bersatu!
Semoga kedepannya tambah solid,kompak dan tetap jadi no #1. Ammiiiiiiin.....

REPRESENT!!!!!!!!!!!

#Paralyzed lyric:
Kata-kata dari mulutmu memang berbahaya
Kau permainkan hatiku dengan berbagai cara
Mata bibirmu sentuhku sampai ku tak bersuara
Lihat arogansimu ku malah lemah tak berdaya

Brigde:
Kau pikir ku mudah bagimu
Namun bersamamu tabu bagiku

Reff:
Now baby boy listen to me boy show me
(how you're gonna get me paralyzed)
This is me now tell me
(when you're gonna get me paralyzed)
This is me boy get me
(how you're gonna get me paralyzed)
Imma let you slide, coz i won't lie, i want you to get me paralyzed

(How you're gonna get me paralyzed)
(when you're gonna get me paralyzed)
(How you're gonna get me paralyzed)
(are you gonna get me paralyzed?)

Oh kau bawa aku lagi sampai ku hampir mati
Caramu kagumiku puja aku sampai mati
Memang ku kagumimu dari atas sampai hati
Tak perlu ku ragu dari hati sampai kaki

Brigde:
Kau pikir ku mudah bagimu
Namun bersamamu tabu bagiku

Reff:
Now baby boy listen to me boy show me
(how you're gonna get me paralyzed)
This is me now tell me
(when you're gonna get me paralyzed)
This is me boy get me
(how you're gonna get me paralyzed)
Imma let you slide, coz i won't lie, i want you to get me paralyzed

(How you're gonna get me paralyzed)

Nice Surprise From Agnes Monica
Anyone who follows Agnes Monica’s official twitter (@agnezmo) must felt delighted yesterday – Sunday 20-02-2011. Out of the blue, Agnes Monica gave the opportunity for her fans to do a live streaming with her. At first, there was problem with ustream since Agnes was not familiar with it, but then she continued to do the live streaming using twitcam. Though she announced this event in a very short time, but more than 500 people streamed and chatted with Agnes Monica. I have to say that I really appreciate this event, as we know there are many fans who keep on supporting Agnes Monica and this is one of the great way to give them a bit of delight (to be noted, it was midnight in the US while she did the live streaming). During the live streaming, she greeted people who left her message and answered some of the questions, she also talked a bit about her condition in LA (she said that she can’t talk in details about it – and I don’t think we should keep on asking about this matter to her) and she got a new dog for her niece named Peeble. The dog is very petite and adorable…Take a look at the pictures below.

Though I feel that this event pleased me and a lot of other fans, I hope Agnes won’t feel burdened to keep on doing the live streaming. After all, we understand that she has tight schedules and her health is the most important part. So, good luck to Agnes Monica for whatever she’s doing there. We sincerely hope that you’ll achieve great thing. Dream, Believe and Make It Happen.
