Nena

Nena, born Gabriele Susanne Kerner on March 24, 1960, is a prominent figure in the German pop music scene, renowned for her distinctive voice and energizing presence. Nena first rose to international fame in the 1980s as the lead singer of the self-titled band Nena, which became a household name with the release of the anti-war anthem "99 Luftballons" in 1983. The track's success was not confined to German-speaking countries; its English version, "99 Red Balloons," soared up the charts worldwide, marking a rare crossover for a German artist.

Despite the disbandment of the original Nena band in 1987, Gabriele continued to perform and release music under her stage name. She successfully reinvented herself as a solo artist and has maintained a consistent presence in the music industry, releasing a string of albums that showcase a blend of pop, rock, and electronic influences. Her recent works, such as the 2020 album "LICHT" and the live album "Nichts versäumt Live," reflect a continued passion for music and the depth of her artistry. In 2023, she commemorated the 40th anniversary of "99 Luftballons" with a remastered release, celebrating the enduring legacy of her breakthrough hit. Through the decades, Nena has not only remained relevant but has also become a symbol of longevity and adaptability in the ever-evolving world of music.
