Nena

Nena (born Gabriele Susanne Kerner on March 24, 1960 in Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany) acquired her nickname "Nena", which means " baby girl" in Spanish, at the age of 3 during a vacation to Spain. Her first band was called The Stripes. They had a very minor hit with the song "Ecstasy", but never managed to achieve broad success. The band Nena was formed with Nena (singer), Rolf Brendel (drums), Carlo Karges (guitar), Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen (keyboard) and Jürgen Dehmel (bass) in Berlin in 1981.
