Cascada
With over 11 million worldwide sales over the past 3 years, a Million in the UK alone Cascada has become one of the biggest dance acts in the World and now they return to the UK for three UK tour dates for June 2011.
Bonn-based Brit Natalie Horler grew up with music and got influenced by her father, an acclaimed jazz musician, who passed on his passion for music to her. From the age of four she began to perform with enthusiasm lots of Jazz and Disney songs together with her father. Later then, she was more influenced by pop music artists such as Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston than her dad’s trombone playing.
Before the 28-year-old met the Cologne-based Yann Peifer (Yanou) and Manuel Reuter (Manian) in 2004, she had already begun to perform and to play smaller gigs whilst working hard on her magnetic and soulful voice. The pair of producers invited Natalie to front their new project, Cascada. After less than one and a half year they found international fame with their huge debut hit EVERYTIME WE TOUCH (over 4 million copies sold). A smash in the States, the song quickly caught on across the globe, followed by a multi-platinum selling album of the same title. It spawned eight singles, including the massive Miracle.
The second album Perfect Day (over 2 million copies sold), led by hit single What hurts the most, continued Cascada’s popularity as one of the world’s best dance acts. Stimulated and pushed by international fame, the trio kept working hard for their success. While rocking huge crowds nightly during on her international tours, Natalie was also needed in the studio. After an efficient time of writing and recording Natalie, Yanou and Manian succeed in developing their dance-pop-style continuously.
This transformation of sound was especially reflected in the third album Evacuate the dancefloor. The single of the same title conquered radio stations by storm and reached top chart entries. Fans even made the single No #1 in England; it also reached sensational fame across the globe in a flash. This success illustrated the anticipated reward for hard studio work and especially for their courage to change the typical Cascada sound into something new. “Evacuate the dancefloor” was the first track influenced heavily by Rap, R&B and Soul.
In sum, 5 million sold copies of her albums, several international music awards and hit-singles including a No #1 Hit speak for themselves. Without any doubt nothing can stem the tide: CASCADA are climbing the top of Mount Olympus of Music.
