Madelin Zero

In 2002, Ministry of Sound put out a compilation called "This is Tech Pop," featuring Madelin as the vocal part of the duo Circ. The song was called "Destroy She Said." The success of the compilation led to Circ's full album release on a record label called Low Spirit in Berlin. The video for "Destroy She Said" was all over German MTV. It featured Madelin dressed as: Alice in Wonderland, the Virgin Mary at the Last Supper, and Little Red Riding Hood. The video caused massive controversy and was pulled from the airwaves because of the song's lyrics, "Like towers falling down, like a bomb blast in your town." The lyrics were actually written before September 11th, but the impending war in Iraq had people very upset. The song was again permitted on the air after only a short silent spell. In the summer of the same year a popular remix of the song was released by DeDonatis and was played around the globe by Paul Van Dyk.



In 2004, Andre (ATB) Tanneberger saw Madelin perform live on a popular German television show. He liked her voice so much that he asked her to write for his album "No Silence." Madelin wrote and sang two songs on the album: "Black Nights" and "Collides With Beauty." "No Silence" released at number ten on the German album charts. Andre then did something that shocked his fans. He produced a song for Madelin's album called "Perfect Day to Lose." It is the only time in his career that Andre has ever produced a song for an artist other than himself.



In 2005, Madelin's solo album "Dirty Purple" was released in the United States on a label called Indecent Media. Unfortunately, the label went out of business the same month the album hit stores. Even so, Madelin Zero was named "Artist to Watch" by Billboard Magazine and nominated for two Grammies.



Madelin Zero lives in New York City and continues to write and live for her music.
