Hamburg, Germany (1977 – present)

Witt became a major star of the German pop scene during the Eighties with huge hits such as “Tri Tra Trullala (Herbergsvater)” and “Goldener Reiter”. He was one of the biggest names of the so-called “” (new German wave), a musical movement that people like Nena belonged to.

He made a big comeback at the end of the Nineties, when he scored a major hit with “Die Flut”, a duet with Peter Heppner, the singer of popular German synth pop group Wolfsheim. Witts album Bayreuth Eins (1997) scored platinum in Germany and Austria. Bayreuth Zwei and Bayreuth 3 followed two resp. eight years later. His music in those days resembled the hard hitting sounds of Rammstein, albeit with a gothic touch, that owed a lot of inspiration to legendary German composer Richard Wagner.

Witt was the guitarist/singer in Seventies Krautrock band Duesenberg. He released three albums with them, “Duesenberg” (1977), “Duesenberg 2” (1978) and “Strangers” (1979), before embarking on a solo career as a singer and actor.
