Angie
- Germany
Angie was born in 1984 in Starnberg an idyllic situated
small town in the south of Munich /Germany/. She grew up
with her elder sister Claudia, now a medical assistant.
From earliest child hood she loves to sing and dance as
well as to paint. She has always known that she will become
a singer or a creative artist. Her family gave her all the
support she needed. Besides attending High school she works
in a disco. She never stopped training her voice and join
castings. Two guest appearances in German TV - Shows gave
her the confirmation that she is on the right way.
In 2003 she met her manager and signed a contract with a
record company in Munich. In December 2003 she started recording
the first titles. She loves working in the recording studio
as well as being on stage.
In January 2004 she joined a charity concert together with
15 well-known bands and solo artist for Doctors without
borders. The audience was enthusiastic.
The young singer is very keen to make a singing career but
never forgets her aim: to be a great singer and performer
not a shooting star for one day.
The strength she needs for her busy life she gains from
her boyfriend Robert and her family not to forget her cat.
What she dreams of beside being a famous singer? Traveling
some day to New York or New Zealand, doing charity work
and having a family. She also dreams of a world without
war - maybe music helps to create a better world.
