She was born on 18 November 1966 in Nuremberg,
made Berlin her home town, and without exaggeration she is the world's most famous female
DJ. Over the past few years she has travelled the globe and given millions of fans
pleasure with her typical, highly individual "Marusha DJ Set". Marusha's amazing
career began in 1991 in Berlin with her radio programme "Dancehall" which went
out each Saturday on the young peopl's station DT 64. When DT 64 had to close, Marusha
changed the frequency and the name of her show. The Berlin station "Fritz" now
carries Marusha's "Rave satelite" once a week on 102.6 Mhz. To top this, the
media multi-talent marusha surprised German-speaking television audiences with
"Feuerreiter", her TV programme for young people. For 2 1/2 years it was
transmitted by ORB and later ARD, and it was very popular indeed.
1994 was Marusha year. "Somewhere Over The
Rainbow" became her biggest hit ever. (It was number three in the Media Control
Charts and with sales of over 500 000, it earned her a platinum award.) Never before had a
techno track reached such a high chart rating. The following single "It Takes Me
Away" was a similar success earning her a gold disc. In the summer of 1994 Marusha
released her debut album "Raveland" which ist still one of the most popular
dance albums of all times. Marusha's success story continued through 1995. She performed
innumerable gigs at home and abroad at almost all trendsetting parties in the techno house
scene and was awarded the "VIVA Comet 95" as "Best Techno Act", the
"Echo Award 95" as "Best Female Artist National". Apart from this,
Marusha was nominated "Best Female Artist" at the "MTV Award 95" in
front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
After a year's break from the studio and
innumerable hours hard work as DJ, Marusha finally produced a new track. Her new single
"Deep" climbed the familiar charts (number twelve in the Media Control Charts)
as if there had been no pause at all. Subsequent simultaneous releases such as
"Unique" and "Wir", Marusha's homage to all techno house scene fans
gained similar acclaim.
After "Secret" her fans again had to
exercise a bit of patience. Then, in February 1997, Marusha finally presented something
new again. In "Ur Life" Marusha gathered the many experiences and encounters she
had made during her travels and summarised them in an orientating message. This is a track
of musical maturity combining playful elements of hip hop, techno, and new wave to form an
original CHANNEL SOUND. The single was an immediate hit in the club scene and made the
expected impact in the charts, entering at 34 in the Media Control Single Charts.
