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 was especially supportive and still plays a very important role in her successful career as her manager and tour-manager. From an early age the up-and-coming singer 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 the German songwriter and member of the top German group 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, on C.C.’s birthday, the song “I Can Lose My Heart Tonight” was released as her debut Single. The Single 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 him and BMG, her record label, 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 (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 7 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 parted with Metronome on good terms to take time out from the music industry. During this time she focused 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 Was Not Was track, 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!
