editKatharina Löwel was born in East Berlin. Her parents fled with her and her sister to West Germany, where they continued their life in Augsburg. After finishing secondary school, she started training as a bank clerk in Munich. She returned to Berlin in 2003, where she met Paul NZA, who contacted Aggro Berlin, and in 2006 signed with Aggro Berlin, appearing as a guest artist on several releases. Her physical appearance remained a secret until the release of the sampler Aggro Anti Ansage Nr. 8. Since then, she has performed as a solo artist.
