Nina Hagen

German actress, singer, and songwriter Catharina "Nina" Hagen. She became well-known during the punk and new wave movements in the late 1970s and early 1980s and is renowned for her dramatic vocals. As "The Godmother of German Punk," she is well-known. Hagen began her acting career in various German films with her mother Eva-Maria Hagen, where she was born and reared in the old East Berlin, German Democratic Republic. She joined the band Automobil at that time, and the group later published the single "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen." Hagen moved to Hamburg with her dad Wolf Biermann when he lost his East German citizenship in 1976. She soon established the Nina Hagen Band after receiving a record deal offer from CBS Records.
