Who is C.C. Catch
C.C. Catch 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 still plays an important role in her career as manager and tour-manager. As an up-and-coming singer C.C. Catch 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 German songwriter and member of Modern Talking, Dieter Bohlen. He invited her 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 catchy name C.C. Catch.
In 1985 the song ‘I Can Lose My Heart Tonight’ was released as her debut single, and became a big hit in Europe. Dieter Bohlen and C.C. Catch worked together until 1989, during which time 12 Top-20 singles and 5 Chart Hit Albums were produced. C.C. Catch decided in 1989 not to renew her contract with her record label BMG, and left Germany to live in England.
On a New Year’s Eve television show in Spain, C.C. Catch met Simon Napier Bell (ex-manager of Wham’s George Michael). Simon was very interested in working with her and shortly thereafter became her manager. A new album, ‘Hear What I Say’ was prepared with new producers, including Andy Taylor (ex Duran Duran), Dave Clayton (who worked with George Michael and U2) and Jo Dworniak. From this album, a single was released in 1989, called ‘Big Time’, which went to number 25 in the charts.
During this time BMG released the Single ‘Baby I Need Your Love’ along with the compilation ‘Classics’. Dieter went on to release her recordings ‘Good Guys Only Win In Movies’ at the same time C.C. Catch released her next single ‘Midnight Hour’. ‘Hear What I Say’ was released at the end of 1989.
Many of her fans liked the album because she co-wrote seven of the songs. C.C. Catch was happy she could finally do what she always wanted to do – writing. It was a very good experience for her to have a key role in the making of this album. It sold more than her previous two albums, ‘Big Fun’ and ‘Diamonds’, demonstrating her abilities as an artist working on her own terms. Afterwards, C.C. Catch took some time out from the music industry, to focus on writing her own songs.
In 1998 C.C. Catch re-entered the music scene. She agreed to do some promotional work for BMG for a new compilation, ‘Best Of 98’. Two singles were also released, ‘C.C. Catch Megamix ‘98’ and ‘I Can Lose My Heart Tonight ‘98’, for which she received a Gold Record.
Her single ‘Shake Your Head 2003′ is a re-working of the song by Was Not Was, originally featuring vocals from none other than Ozzy Osbourne.
C.C. Catch still has a huge fan-following and is busy touring in Europe. She also appeared as support act for Modern Talking in the USA. C.C. Catch has been compared to Kylie Minogue, who also started her career in the 80’s and is back on top, looking and sounding better than ever!
