Andreas Dorau, born in Hamburg, Germany, is a singer and songwriter. His first hit "Fred vom Jupiter", with his band Die Doraus Und Die Marinas made him popular at the age of 16. Dorau works together with many other artists, like Justus Köhncke, Tommi Eckart (2raumwohnung), Paula, Erobique (International Pony). His musical style is a mixture of lo-fi synth pop in combination with off-kilter, quirky, often intelligent, often hilariously naïve and self-concious storytelling lyrics, that sometimes border with novelty songs.
