Biography

About

Dieter Günter Bohlen was born on 7 February 1954 in Germany. He broke through in the 1980s as half of Modern Talking, the pop duo that made him a household name across Europe. After that chapter closed, he pivoted to production, working with a long string of German and international artists. He also became a television fixture, sitting as a judge on Deutschland sucht den Superstar and Das Supertalent. The trajectory moved from performer to kingmaker, studio to screen.
