Her paternal grandparents were Volga Germans who

to Wollstein, Rhineland-Palatine, West Germany.

sent it to different recording studios to gauge the reaction of professionals.

the "Goldene Henne" award twice, and the "Krone der
Volksmusik" prize three times. All her albums and DVDs have achieved
multiple gold and double platinum status. Her songs, with their stories of the
everyday worries and woes of home-loving folks, are lyrically close to what
could be called "country music" although musically quite different.

Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, and Finland.
She released her
first English album, "The English Ones", on 7 June 2010. The album
was produced by Jean Frankfurter a
German producer, composer and arranger for 40 years. On singing in English,
Fischer commented: "I have always dreamed of singing my songs in another
language. English is the language of country the music that we call ’Schlager’. Language is
a tool, but it is important that what you sing comes from the heart – and that
is what this album is about."

made her acting debut in an episode of the German TV series Das Traumschiff
