Witt became a major star of the German pop scene during the Eighties with huge hits such as "Tri Tra Trullala (Herbergsvater)" and "Goldener Reiter". He was one of the biggest names of the so-called "neue deutsche welle" (new German wave), a musical movement that people like Nena belonged to. He made a big comeback at the end of the Nineties, when he scored a major hit with "Die Flut", a duet with Peter Heppner, the singer of popular German synth pop group Wolfsheim. Witts album Bayreuth Eins (1997) scored platinum in Germany and Austria. Read more about Joachim Witt on Last.fm.
