Biography

edit

Jadu was born in August 26, 1988 in Bissendorf and grew up in Bad Essen. She moved to Osnabrück in 2007 and in 2013 she met Marten Laciny, better known as the rapper Marteria (and his alter ego Marsimoto), who she married in 2015 and was married to for five years.[2][3][4]

Jadu is a singer, drummer and guitarist. In 2013 she toured with the rapper Chefket as his guitarist, playing e.g. at the Splash Festival.[5] In 2017 she wrote the title track of Die Toten Hosen's album Laune der Natur, together with her husband and with Campino, singer in Die Toten Hosen.

In 2019 she released the album Nachricht vom Feind which was noticed for its strong symbolism. Jadu sometimes describes her musical style as Darkpop, but more typically as "Military Dream Pop",[6][7][8] and she has been compared to a female version of Rammstein due to the symbolism.[8] The debut album contains musical elements from pop as well as from Neue Deutsche Härte and classical music. The German lyrics are provocative and full of military language and BDSM references. The theme of her songs is the deep and dark aspects of love. For example, one of her songs describes the relationship between Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler.[9]

In 2020 she was the support act on Lindemann's European tour.[10]
