About Me

..you need more??? www.katy-karrenbauer.de / When I had been thirteen, I had my own and first Rock Band, but we just rocked the Cellar and no Clubs. At the same Time I was teached to become an Opera and classic Singer as Mezzo Soprano. But my Voice now is much deeper and sounds more like a male Bass. When I was eighteen Years old I started my Actors School and four Years ago I opened my own Theatre in Cologne, which I built together with two Swiss Guys. If I say built, I really mean that. Had been a Cinema before and after it was a beautiful Theatre. I played, I worked as Directors Assistant, I created the Stage, did the Make Up and worked as Costum Designer. Three Years later I went on Tour with a Musical for about half a Year. Directly after I got the main Actors Character as "Titania/Hypollita" in "Fairy Queen" at the biggest Opera House in Germany, started to sing in Musicals, played "Magenta" in "the Rocky Horror Picture Show" or "Robert Ann" in both Parts of "Nunsense" in Germany and the Swiss. In 1993 I recorded my first solo Album, and all the Time I worked on Stage as Actress. I played "Kassandra", "Merlin", "Titania", "Medea","Tucholsky in Rock", "Mertheuil", just to name some of the Characters and I had my own solo Play. 1994 I filmed "Casualties" and got one of the main Parts. Since then I played in many Tv-Series, Tv-Movies and Movies. 1997 my career really started. I got one of the main Characters in "Hinter Gittern" ( Woman in Prison) and played "Christine Walter", better known as "Walter" for ten Years in nearly 430 Episodes. 2001 I wrote the Lyrics for the CD and we got gold Status in only three Weeks. 2002 I put my second solo Album on the marked. In the next Years I was filming, did some reality Shows, I painted, I made lots of Music with different Musicans for very different Projects. So I was two times on Tour with the Band "Silly", 2005 and 2006. 2007 started with filming in Africa, than I walked as "Pilgrim" one of the three holy Ways (Jacobsway) from France above the Pyrenäes till Santiago de Compostella (Spain) and from there till, they call it "The end of the World", and it really feels like that. I did that for a Documentary and walked nearly the whole way with a Camera Crew, more than ten Hours every Day for nearly four Weeks, ups and downs, Hills and Valleys. Directly after I filmed a Comedy "Western" as "Ma", and than I was asked to film a Documentary about California on a Harley. So I came to ride the Bike from L.A. to San Francisco and back on Higway no.1 in Oktober and filmed till November 2007. 2007/2008 I came to CA to finish the Book off, which I am writing on. Short stories for everybody, about me and my long, long Life :o). The Book will be hopefully presentated in Autumn 2008. I take over a main character in a Series with funny Vegetables for Children soon, but "just" as voice! And I will give my Best, to finish my new Album, which will come out much harder than the others, as soon as possible.

My Interests

MY WORK .. I really enjoyed the Club "Rainbow" in Los Angeles. Music is my Home, Home is, where my Heart is. This Club I miss the most, since I..m back in Berlin. So, if you..re in Town, German and your mood is "Rock", show up. You..ll have a great Time which you..ll never forget cause, we don..t have anything like this in Germany! Sorry, maybe on the "Reeperbahn". Rock it! And try to see live Bands in L.A. Like BUZZ..he..s playing next on May 2 again in the Studio Suite !

I'd like to meet:

Cool People, which are interested in Music, Film, Acting and Directing...

Music:

From Mozart to Mandy Lion. Daughtry: " Be careful what you wish for, cause you might just get it all, and than some you don..t want!" Music is my life, and by the way, I play the Guitar. But I play worse than others, haha...

Movies:

..Film and Music!! Fly out Los Angeles and the World from aboveI really like very different Styles, from "Die Hard" to "Out of Africa". My favorite at the Moment is "Ratatouille".

Television:

I do not watch so much, but if, I like "24", "Dr.House", or Comedies like "King of Queens".

Books:

From "The Bibel" to "The Secret", from "French Revolution" to "Summer of Love". But most of the Time I read about interesting People and their Lifes, like "Elisabeth", "Fouche", or "Mary Antoinette" and on the other hand it depends on what I am working on. My favorite Book right now is "Der fiegende Berg". The story about two brothers from Ireland, which travel to the Tibet to climb a Mountain.

Heroes:

I do not have Heroes, but I love to see Actors like: De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Harvey Keitel, Javier Bardem, Meryl Streep, Glen Close, the "Sutherlands", Anna Magnani,the one and only Brando, just to name some of them. I really love to see "good Work". And...if you love "my" Music..listen to "daughtry"!! I found them in the middle of nowhere... middle of Africa, when I was filming there.. and guess... they spoke out of my Heart!
