LaFee emerged as one of the brightest new stars in German pop at the age of just 16. Born Christina Klein on December 9, 1990, in Aachen, she first attracted national attention in 2004, appearing on the RTL television network amateur showcase Kiddy Contest. Producer Bob Arnz extended a record deal, and in early 2006, LaFee issued her debut single, "Virus," the first of four consecutive Top 40 singles including "Prinzesschen," "Was Ist Das?," and "Mitternacht." Her self-titled debut LP went on to top the German and Austrian charts. ~ Jason Ankeny
