Maudy Ayunda is my favorite artist. She is so beautiful and smart. She has made

me fall in love with her since I first saw her on TV. My first time seeing her is when
she promotes a beauty product on a TV’s advertisement. Since then, she has played
in movies and also become a singer. Her voice is also wonderful. I have liked her

song since the first time I heard it. Maudy is also an actress that cares about her
education. I hear now she is studying somewhere at foreign university. I hope she
will make new movies and songs soon.
