Biography

C.C. Catch was born in Holland and was supported by her parents from an early age, when they recognised her talent and encouraged her wish to be a "famous singer”. Her father was especially supportive and has played and still plays a very important role in her successful career as her manager and tour-manager.
From an early age the up-and-coming singer took part in talent contests and was originally a member of a German girl group, which released 2 Singles.
She was first discovered in the mid-1980s by the German songwriter and member of the top German group Modern Talking, Dieter Bohlen. He was particularly interested in her singing talents and invited her on the same day to his studio for an audition. Shortly afterwards she signed a contract with him, which was to launch her solo career.

With her new solo record contract it was important that she had a strong Artist name. She therefore decided on the name C.C.CATCH, the two "C”s standing for the first initials of her two first names and CATCH was a good idea and looked great with the initials. So finally C.C. CATCH was born! In the Summer of 1985, on C.C.’s birthday, the song "I Can Lose My Heart Tonight” was released as her debut Single. The Single became a big hit in Europe.
Dieter Bohlen and C.C. worked together until 1989 during which time 12 Top Twenty Singles and 5 Chart –Hit Albums were produced (see discography). C.C. wanted to have more personal input in the songs, but Dieter would not allow this, so she decided in 1989 not to renew her contract with him and BMG, her record label, and left Germany to live in England.
