Joachim Witt

Joachim Witt is a renowned German musician and actor whose influential work has spanned several decades, leaving a significant mark on the German music landscape, particularly within the Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) movement. Born on February 22, 1949, in Hamburg, Witt started his career in the 1970s, but it was his 1980 single "Goldener Reiter" that catapulted him to domestic stardom, establishing him as a key figure in the NDW scene with its unique blend of synth-pop and new wave sounds, paired with his distinctive baritone voice.

As an artist who has constantly evolved, Witt didn't confine himself to the NDW period. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, he continued to expand his musical repertoire, incorporating elements of rock, electronic, and even darker, more experimental tones. The turn of the new millennium saw him achieving a resurgence in popularity with albums like "Bayreuth" series, which mixed industrial vibes with the theatricality he became known for. Witt's recent releases, such as "Der Fels in der Brandung" and "Signale," showcase his continued relevance and ability to resonate with contemporary audiences. Notably, collaborations with other artists such as Marianne Rosenberg in "In unserer Zeit" and Claudia Uhle in "Stern" reflect his openness to diverse musical influences and partnerships. As a testament to his enduring career, the remastered edition of "Pop (Remastered 2023)" underlines the timelessness of his artistry in the ever-changing landscape of music.
