Mickie Krause

Born on 21 June 1970 in Wettringen, North Rhine‑Westphalia, German singer Mickie Krause, whose real name is Michael Engels, is part of the party‑oriented Schlager scene that animates popular festivals and German‑speaking party tourism. Mickie Krause emerged in the late 1990s with the song “Zehn nackte Friseusen”, released in 1999, which firmly established him in the world of sing‑along party tunes. His repertoire mixes Schlager, pop and dance sounds, with lyrics often humorous or deliberately simple, designed for dance floors, carnivals and après‑ski nights. Very active on the stages of Mallorca, notably at Ballermann hotspots, Mickie Krause has built over the years a career focused on live performance, marked by seasonal residencies, tours in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and appearances on music and entertainment television. Beyond “Zehn nackte Friseusen”, tracks like “Schatzi schenk mir ein Foto” reinforce his image as a performer of festive Schlager, with a direct, repetitive and danceable style that extends the tradition of German popular song into contemporary forms of celebration.
