German musician Joachim Witt counts among the few survivors of the new German wave that dominated the airwaves in the early '80s: after years of struggling to regain the popularity he found with his hit single "Goldener Reiter" (Golden Rider), he managed to launch a serious comeback in the second half of the '90s with his album Bayreuth 1 and a single called "Die Flut" (The Flood), whose Wagnerian pomp-meets-heavy guitars aesthetic fit into the neue Deutsche härte (new German heaviness) trend spearheaded by Rammstein.
Born in Hamburg on February 22, 1949, Witt started out as an actor in the '70s, studying under Hildburg Freese in Hamburg from 1973 to 1975, and then performing at Hamburg's Thalia Theater from 1975 and 1977. During this time, he released two songs under the pseudonym Julian -- "Ich Bin ein Mann" (I'm a Man) and "Ich Weiß, Ich Komm Zurück" (I Know I'll Come Back) -- but they remained unsuccessful. He then became a member of the psychedelic rock band Duesenberg, winning an Echo Award in 1980.
