Lisa Bund

by Christian Genzel
German pop singer Lisa Bund is best known for becoming second runner-up in the fourth season of Deutschland Sucht den Superstar (DSDS), Germany's version of American Idol. Born on May 31, 1988, Bund gathered experience in a number of casting shows: Teenstar on RTL2 (which she had to withdraw from since her parents weren't even aware of her application), Star Search on SAT1, and Popstars on PRO7. During her appearance on the 2007 season of DSDS, she recorded the song "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" for the compilation Power of Love, which featured contributions from ten of the show's contestants. After the season was over, Bund landed a guest spot on Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten -- a German daily soap -- and then released her debut album, Born Again, produced by Lukas Hilbert and Alex Christensen and featuring songwriting contributions by Berlin-based production team Valicon. In 2008, Bund appeared on the reality TV show Ich Bin ein Star -- Holt Mich Hier Raus!
