01Biography
Katharina Löwel was born in East Berlin. Her parents fled with her and her sister to West Germany, where they continued their life in Augsburg.

She returned to Berlin in 2003, where she met Paul NZA, who contacted Aggro Berlin, and in 2006 signed with Aggro Berlin, appearing as a guest artist on several releases. Her physical appearance remained a secret until the release of the sampler Aggro Anti Ansage Nr. 8. Since then, she has performed as a solo artist.
In an interview with the magazine Bravo Hip Hop Special, she announced that she was working on her first solo album Miyo!, which was released in mid-2009, after the lead singles "Bitchfresse (L.M.S)" and "Braves Mädchen" had been released.
