Joachim Witt is a versatile German musician whose work spans several genres, including Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW), Neue Deutsche Härte, industrial rock, gothic rock, industrial metal, and gothic metal.
Born on February 22, 1949, in Hamburg, Germany, Witt began his musical career as the guitarist and vocalist for the 1970s Krautrock band Duesenberg.
He gained prominence in the 1980s as a leading figure in the NDW movement, achieving major hits like "Goldener Reiter" and "Tri Tra Trullala (Herbergsvater)."
In the late 1990s, Witt reinvented himself by embracing a harder, industrial sound, notably with his album "Bayreuth 1" released in 1998, which marked the beginning of his exploration into the Neue Deutsche Härte genre.
This album featured the successful single "Die Flut," a duet with Peter Heppner, which became one of his biggest commercial successes.
Throughout his career, Witt has demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt and evolve, continually exploring new musical landscapes and maintaining a significant presence in the German music scene.
