Dunia Aku Punya


Dunia Aku Punya is the debut studio album by Indonesian singer-songwriter Anggun. It was released by Billboard Indonesia in 1986 and produced by Indonesian rock musician Ian Antono.

Background

Anggun began singing at a young age, coached by her father, a writer, who trained her using vocal guidebooks. Unlike the prevailing trend of Indonesian pop, her musical influences were rooted in rock and roll, having been exposed to groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. She gained attention by performing The Beatles' songs at recreational areas like Ancol, which led to her being noticed by a producer.
Her first album was recorded at the age of nine through Musica Studios, Kepada Alam & Pencintanya, features cover versions of ballads by Indonesian country singer Ritta Rubby Hartland. However, Anggun was disappointed at the time because her producer did not publish the album. After Anggun reached the recognition in the early 1990s, the children's album was later released without her authorization.
As she grew older, Anggun started writing her own material and sought to become a rock singer, leading her to collaborate with legendary rock producer Ian Antono.
