Catharina Hagen was born on March 11, 1955 in East Berlin, Germany. Her parents are scriptwriter Hans Hagen (also knows as Hans Oliva) and actress and singer Eva Maria Hagen. Her paternal grandparents were Jewish and died in Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Her parents divorced when she was two years old and she got to see her father quite infrequently. At age four, she started studying ballet, and was considered an opera prodigy at age nine. The story about how she got started in opera lessons says that one day little Nina accompanied her mother for rehearsals for a play. Little Nina approached a woman and asked her about opera and the woman told Nina to just open her mouth as if she were yawning and let out a note. When little Nina did as told, everyone came out surprised and noticed that the amazing note that came out was from a 9 year old girl. By the time she was 13, she was already an opera singer. Around the time Nina was 11, she managed to find God and include Him in her life, despite the fact that her parents were atheists. From that time on, Nina became deeply spiritual and religious and this would reflect in her later work. Also, around this time, her mother remarried and her new husband was protest singer/songwriter, Wolf Biermann. Biermann's political views influenced Nina. Because of this Hagen was dishonorably expelled from the Free German Youth organization at age 12, and became active in political protests against the East German government, including the protest for the former USSR's invasion to former Czechoslovakia. At age 16, Hagen left school and later joined the cover band Fritzens Dampferband (Fritzen's Steamboat Band), together with Achim Mentzel and others. She added songs by Janis Joplin and Tina Turner to the "allowable" setlists during shows. From 1972-1973, Hagen enrolled in the crash-course performance program at The Central Studio for Light Music in East Berlin. Following graduation, Nina formed her band Automobil. This band would be among East Germany's most famous bands, and their most famous song was Du Hast den Farbfilm Vergessen ("You Forgot the Color Film"), released in 1974. Music in East Germany wasn't easy to be recorded because at the time there was a Censhorship Bureau, controlled by the government, which revised every single song that was gonna hit the airwaves to see if its content was adequate, if the music was adequate and didn't show any signs of slamming the government. However, her musical career in East Germany was cut short when she and her mother left East Germany in 1976, following the expulsion of her stepfather. The circumstances surrounding the family's emigration were exceptional: Biermann was granted permission to perform a televised concert in Cologne, but denied permission to re-cross the border to his home country. During a period when bureaucracy was the norm, and families divided by the Berlin Wall had not seen one another in decades, Hagen submitted an application to leave the country. In it, she claimed to be Biermann's biological daughter, and threatened to become the next Wolf Biermann if not allowed to rejoin her father. Just four days later her request was granted, and she settled in Hamburg, where she was signed to a CBS-affiliated record label. Her label advised her to acclimate herself to Western culture through travel, and she arrived in London during the height of the punk rock movement. Hagen was quickly taken up by a circle that included The Slits and the Sex Pistols; Johnny Rotten was a particular admirer. During this travel, was when her famous nickname, The Mother of Punk was born. When she surrounded herself with other fellow punks, since she was the oldest and was seen as some sort of mother figure, that's when the others called her The Mother of Punk. This is a nickname that remains with Nina up to this day. Back in Germany by mid-1977, Hagen formed the Nina Hagen Band in West Berlin's Kreuzberg district. In 1978 they released their self-titled debut album, which included the single "TV-Glotzer" (a cover of "White Punks on Dope" by The Tubes, though with entirely different German lyrics), and Auf'm Bahnhof Zoo, about West Berlin's then-notorious Berlin Zoologischer Garten station. The album also included a version of "Rangehn" (approximately, "Go On"), a song she had previously recorded in East Germany, but with different music. According to reviewer Fritz Rumler: "… she thrusts herself into the music, aggressively, directly, furiously, roars in the most beautiful opera alto, then, through shrieks and squeals, precipitates into luminous soprano heights, she parodies, satirises, and howls on stage like a dervish."
The album gained significant attention throughout Germany and abroad, both for its hard rock sound and for Hagen's theatrical vocals, far different from the straightforward singing of her East German recordings. However, relations between Hagen and the other band members deteriorated over the course of the subsequent European tour, and Hagen decided to leave the band in 1979, though she was still under contract to produce a second album. This LP, Unbehagen (which in German also means discomfort or unease), was eventually produced with the band recording their tracks in Berlin and Hagen recording the vocals in Los Angeles, California. It included the single "African Reggae" and a cover of Lene Lovich's "Lucky Number". The other band members sans Hagen, soon developed a successful independent musical career as Spliff.Meanwhile, Hagen's public persona was steadily creating media uproar. She became infamous for an appearance on an Austrian evening talk show called Club 2, on 9th August 1979, on the topic of youth culture, when she demonstrated (while clothed, but explicitly) various female masturbation positions and became embroiled in a heated argument with another panelist. The talk show host had to step down following this controversy. She also acted with Dutch rocker Herman Brood and singer Lene Lovich in the 1979 film Cha Cha. Hagen's discomfort with Nina Hagen Band and a strong desire to pursue a solo career were reflected in the band's cancellation of an European tour in 1980. Later that year, Nina found out she was pregnant, broke up with father-to-be Ferdinand Karmelk and moved to Los Angeles. Her daughter, Cosma Shiva, was born on May 17, 1981 in Santa Monica, California. When Nina was 4 months pregnant with Cosma, she experienced a UFO sightseeing. She has narrated this in several interviews and this would be a recurrent theme in her work. During this time, Nina cut off all her hair for spiritual cleansing motives and started incorporating Hinduist beliefs into her life. The rest of 1981, Nina spent her time recording what would be her debut album both as a solo artist and as an emerging artist in the U.S. In May 1982, the finished product was released and was called NunSexMonkRock. When the album was released, it caused several reactions. Radio stations didn't know how to classify the music of this album, music critics were shocked and didn't understand the album, and the audience while some where shocked and scared others were intrigued and curious about this unknown German artist. Nina then went on touring this album with the No Problem Orchestra. In 1983, Nina released the German album Angstlos (in 1984 she would release the English version for it, Fearless) and supported the album with a minor European tour. By this time, Hagen's public appeareances were becoming stranger and frequently included discussions of God, UFOs, her social and political beliefs, animal rights and vivisection, and claims of alien sightings. The English version of Angstlos, Fearless, generated two major club hits in America, "Zarah" (a cover of the Zarah Leander (#45 USA) song "Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehen") and the disco/punk/opera song, "New York New York" (#9 USA, Dance charts). From 1984 to 1985, she dated Anthony Kiedis, the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Her 1985 album Nina Hagen In Ekstasy fared less well, but did generate club hits with "Universal Radio" (#39 USA) and a cover of "Spirit In The Sky" and also featured a 1979 recording of her hardcore punk take on Frank Sinatra's My Way, which had been one of her signature live tunes in previous years. Her contract with CBS over, she released the Punk Wedding EP independently in 1987, a celebration of her marriage to a 17-year-old-punk nicknamed 'Iroquois'. It followed an independent 1986 one-off single with Lene Lovich, the anthemic Don't Kill The Animals. In 1989, Hagen released the album Nina Hagen which was backed up by another German tour. In 1989 she had a relationship with Frank Chevallier from France, with whom she has a son, Otis Chevallier-Hagen, born in 1990.
In the 1990s, Hagen lived in Paris with her daughter Cosma Shiva and son Otis. In 1991 she toured Europe in support of her new album Street. In 1992 Hagen became the host of a TV show on RTLplus. Also in the same year (1992) she collaborated with Adamski on the European smash and minor uk hit single "Get Your Body". The following year, she released Revolution Ballroom.In 1994 Laramy Smith recorded Nina at Ferber Studios in Paris, for the "Somebody Help Me" project, a song to aid the homeless worldwide. In 1994, NIna starred in the acclaimed San Francisco Goethe Institut's "The Seven Addictions and Five Professions of Anita Berber," playing the singer version of "Anita" alongside dancer Jennifer Pieren who portrayed the other "professions" of "Anita." 1995 brought the German-language album FreuD Euch appeared, recorded in English as Beehappy in 1996. Nina returned to San Francisco to star in another San Francisco Goethe Institut show, "Hannusen, Hitler's Jewish Clarvoyant." Hagen also collaborated with electronic music composer Christopher Franke, along with Rick Jude on "Alchemy of Love", the theme song for the film Tenchi Muyo! in Love. In May of 1996, She married David Lynn, who is fifteen years younger, but was divorced him in the beginning of 2000. In 1997 she collaborated with German hip hop musician Thomas D. In 1998, Hagen became the host of a weekly science fiction show on the British Sci-Fi Channel, in addition to embarking on another tour of Germany. In 1999, she released the devotional album Om Namah Shivay, which was distributed exclusively online and included an unadulterated musical version of the Hare Krishna mantra (in real life she believes that the Hindu incarnation of God known as Krishna was 'the king of Jerusalem'. Krishna is sometimes referred to as "Christ"). She also provided vocals to "Witness" and "Bereit" on KMFDM's Adios. Also in 1998 she recorded the official club anthem (Eisern Union !) for FC Union Berlin and four versions were issued on a CD single by G.I.B Music and Distribution GmbH. In 1999, she played the role of Celia Peachum in The Threepenny Opera by Kurt Weill and Berthold Brecht, alongside Max Raabe.
In 2000, her song Schön ist die Welt became the official song of Expo 2000. Another cover of a Zarah Leander song "Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt" was a minor hit the same year. The album The Return of the Mother was released in February 2001, accompanied by another German tour. In 2001 she collaborated with Rosenstolz and Marc Almond on the single Total eclipse/Die schwarze Witwe that reached #22 in Germany. On 14th of October 2002 Nina hit Moscow by coming there with her concert, while interviews with the eccentric singer were aired on many TV-channels. Hagen dubbed the voice of Sally in the German release of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, and she has also done voice work on the movie Hot Dogs by Michael Schoemann. Hagen has been featured on songs by other bands, for instance on Oomph!'s song "Fieber".In 2003, she did a cover of Rammstein's "Seemann" with Apocalyptica. Later albums include Big Band Explosion, in which she sang numerous swing covers with her then husband, Danish singer and performer, Lucas Alexander. This was followed by Heiß, a greatest hits album. Her most recent album, Journey to The Snow Queen, is more of an audio book—she reads the Snow Queen fairy tale with Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker in the background. In 2005 Nina Hagen headlined the Drop Dead Festival in New York City. Hagen has been an active protester against the war in Iraq. In 2006 she was a part of the Popstars team. She is a vegetarian. In August 2009 she was baptized in the Protestant Reformed church of Schüttorf. On October 21th after 7 years passed she visited Moscow again. It has now been revealed that her new album will consist of gospel music and it will be named Personal Jesus. Stay tuned for more details.

Angstlos (1983) / Fearless (1984)
Angstlos is Nina Hagen's second solo release. It was released in late 1983. The record company asked Nina to tone down for her upcoming album, due to the reactions that her previous release NunSexMonkRock caused.

The singles released from this album were her signature hit New York New York (#9 U.S. Dance charts) and her ode to Swedish singer Zarah Leander, Zarah, which included a snippet of Zarah Leander's song Ich Weiss Es Wird Einmal Ein Wunder Geschehn.
