Jeanette Biedermann (born February 22, 1980) is a German singer,
songwriter, actress, and television personality. Born and raised in
the greater Berlin area, Biedermann began performing as a member of a
troupe of acrobats in a children's circus at the age of six. She later
attended beauty school before dropping out to pursue her music career
following her participation and win of the Bild-Schlagerwettbewerb
competition in 1998. The following year, Biedermann placed fourth in
the national final for the Eurovision Song Contest, and was propelled
to stardom when she was cast in a main role in the soap opera Gute
Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten. In 2000, Biedermann made her musical
breakthrough with her first two full English-language albums Enjoy!
(2000) and Delicious (2001).Trying to reinvent her image, Biedermann
shifted to pop rock music for her next albums, Rock My Life (2002),
Break On Through (2003) and Naked Truth (2006). Following her
departure from GZSZ and a longer hiatus, she had a starring role in
the telenovela Anna und die Liebe and released her dance pop-led album
Undress to the Beat (2009), which was less successful commercially and
led to a decline in her musical career. In 2012, Biedermann became the
lead singer of the German language group Ewig which eventually
disbanded in 2019. The same year, she appeared in the sixth season of
Sing meinen Song - Das Tauschkonzert, the German version of the Best
