German recording artist Cassandra Steen has released five studio albums as a solo artist. Steen began her career as lead vocalist of pop trio Glashaus who released their self-titled debut album in 2001 and scored the top five hit "Wenn das Liebe ist" the same year. She released her first solo album, Seele mit Herz (2004), during the hiatus of the band on band member Moses Pelham's 3–P label. It reached the top sixty of the German Albums Chart and produced the singles "Wie du lachst" and "Alles was du willst", both of which failed to chart or sell noticeably.[1]

After her departure from Glashaus, Steen signed a recording contract with Universal Urban and released her second album Darum leben wir in 2009. It entered the top ten in Germany and was eventually certified gold by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI).[2] Its singles "Darum leben wir" and "Stadt" both became top ten hits, the latter of which went platinum in Germany.[2] Steen's third album Mir so nah (2011) debuted at number five on the German Albums Chart and produced the singles "Gebt alles" and "Tanz".[1]
Her fourth record, Spiegelbild (2014), overseen by singer Tim Bendzko and musician Christian "Crada" Kalla, was less successful than its predecessors and peaked at number 42 on the German Albums Chart only.[1] Its first and only single "Gewinner" failed to chart.[3] Following the album's commercial failure, Steen rejoined Glashaus in 2016 but also continued performing and recording as a solo artist. In 2020, she released the Christmas album Der Weihnachtsgedanke through her own label SugarLoup Records.[1]
