Born in East Berlin, German Democratic Republic, Hagen first pursued her career in the mid 1970s. In 1974, she joined the band Automobil. During that time she appeared in a number of German movies. After moving to West Berlin in 1976, she formed the Nina Hagen Band and signed with CBS Records. The band released two albums before Hagen decided to pursue her career as a solo artist. In 1982, she signed with CBS Records and released her first solo album ''NunSexMonkRock''. She released two more records on the label—the Giorgio Moroder-produced ''Fearless'' (1983) and ''Nina Hagen in Ekstasy'' (1985). Her contract with the label expired in 1986 and was not renewed. She remained popular making tours and appearances on TV shows. In 1987, the single "Punk Wedding" was released and in 1988 Hagen wrote her autobiography ''Ich bin ein Berliner''. Mercury Records offered Hagen a contract in 1989 and she released ''Nina Hagen'', an album with a more soulful theme than her previous work. She continued to release more albums and tour during the 1990s and 2000s. Hagen is often referred to as the "Godmother of Punk". She is also noted for her human and animal rights activism. thumbnail ==Early life and education== Nina Hagen was born in the former East Berlin, East Germany, the daughter of Hans Hagen (also known as Hans Oliva-Hagen), a scriptwriter, and Eva-Maria Hagen (née Buchholz), an actress and singer. Her paternal grandfather died in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp (her father was Jewish). Her parents divorced when she was two years old, and growing up she saw her father infrequently. At age four, she began to study ballet, and was considered an opera prodigy by the time she was nine. When Hagen was 11, her mother married Wolf Biermann, an anti-establishment singer-songwriter. Biermann's political views later influenced young Hagen. Hagen left school at age sixteen, and went to Poland, where she began her career.〔Canal +, interview〕〔Concert in Gdańsk, August 8, 2009〕 After that, she returned to Germany and joined the cover band Fritzens Dampferband (''Fritzen's Steamboat Band''), together with Achim Mentzel and others. She added songs by Janis Joplin and Tina Turner to the "allowable" set lists during shows. From 1972 to 1973, Hagen enrolled in the crash-course performance program at The Central Studio for Light Music in East Berlin. After graduating, she formed the band Automobil. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nina Hagen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
