Mini bio
How it started.
Before her first film, Maudy took part in school operettas and choir. Miles Films cast her as Rena in Untuk Rena, released in 2005, her first experience acting on camera. She moved into recorded music with Panggil Aku... in 2011 and its single “Tiba-Tiba Cinta Datang”.
The songs and the screen.
Perahu Kertas brought her acting and singing together in 2012: she starred in the film and sang its title song, written by Dewi Lestari. “Untuk Apa”, from Moments, became another signature song. For Habibie & Ainun 3, she played Ainun and sang “Kamu dan Kenangan”. Her fourth album, Pada Suatu Hari, arrived in December 2024 with stories about city life, connection and taking a pause.
Beyond the studio.
Maudy studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford, then Business and Education at Stanford. Writing is another part of her work: Dear Tomorrow gathers her thoughts on love, dreams and life, while her KINA series brings stories to children. Her official link hub also points fans to the Maudy Ayunda Foundation and Teach First Indonesia.
A new film chapter.
In 2026, Maudy appeared as Laksmi in Wregas Bhanuteja’s Para Perasuk, known internationally as Levitating. She trained for months for its dance sequences and contributed songs to its soundtrack, continuing the conversation between her film roles and her music.
