CASCADA
CASCADA was born Natalie Horler in Bonn, Germany on September 23, 1981, and is of English descent. As she explains it, "As my parents had moved from England to Germany a year earlier, I grew up here with them and my two sisters. My mother Christine is a foreign language teacher and my father David is a jazz musician with the WDR Big Band in Cologne. It is, from him that I inherited my passion for music. When I was very young I would often do recordings in my father's studio at home, a lot of the time Jazz and Disney songs. I just enjoyed it so much and I knew at a very, very early age that I wanted to be a singer.” When asked who she admires, Natalie says "I admire just about anyone who has a set of vocals to die for! Really, it doesn’t matter who it is; if it's Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill, Boyz II Men or just someone I happen to hear singing gospel music in church-- I'll listen and love it!"
Cascada was formed when Natalie at age eighteen started doing studio work in Germany. She’d record some tracks for different DJ's and eventually ended up meeting Manuel Reuter (Manian) and Yann (Yanou). They started recording a couple of songs together and soon became quite successful.
Following her sensational performance at the World Music Awards 2007, Cascada and her team of producers, Yanou and Manian, are especially proud of the award they received there: Best Selling German Act, because the award is based on sales alone therefore making it one of the most honest awards in the music industry.
Cascada’s 2006 debut album Everytime We Touch and their debut single with the same title took the world by storm and reached top 5 chart entries in the United States, England, France, Canada, South Africa, Japan, Scandinavia and The Netherlands. To date it has sold over 3 million copies and has been downloaded several million times in the US alone, making it one of the 10 most downloaded tracks of all time.
Cascada has since received many awards including double platinum in the USA, double platinum in the UK, Gold in France, Scandinavia and South Africa, the US Napster Award 2006 and the US Dance Star Award 2006. Fans from all over the globe have made Cascada number one in Germany for the most visited "MySpace" page. Over 36 million clicks on her songs speak a very clear language.
