Love of an extraordinary woman

“Honest comes first, trust comes after.” @agnezmo

Agnes would not talk to publics about her love life and she just wanted to talk about her experiences and achievements. She ever said that she’s a desperately romantic lady. She always takes care of her boyfriend, even he doesn’t deserve it. Until one day she released her new single after “Janji-Janji”, and she claimed that the song was the most honest song that she ever wrote. “Karena Ku Sanggup” was a ballad song with the story of a broken heart girl and she believed that she could stand without the one who hurt her. Agnes has shown her new skill of singing (strong and high falsetto) and many of her fans or the listener got surprise from her voice. For one more time, this oriental lady has shown her ability to be the great musician.

No Pain No Gain

Agnes has received a lot of achievements and they are the prove of her hard work and her dedication to be the true artist and performer. Whenever she got the nomination, the audience or even the hosts itself always expect that Agnes will be the winner. Agnes grows with her achievements and not with cheap gossips and sensations. She grows with many critics and mocks. But above of all, she always says that she enjoy the process not the finish line or the result. Her life or elevation is not easy like what the others think. Whenever she walked on the stage to receive the achievement, she would say thanks to God, because she knew that it all happened for God’s permission. Agnes always wants to be the best and perfect, and hopefully her life can be an inspiration for her fans.

It’s A Day

Agnes has done her two big shows on Trans TV and ANTV in the middle of August. She made it as the warming up for her next big project called #20AgnesMonica. She brought her international crews such as band and dancers. The brand new band named Agnezmo Band and one of them is Beyonce’s music director; Kimberly Burse. The preparation itself was so intense and Nez called it as Spartan’s rehearsal.
