Biography

Maxi & Chris Garden is a mother/daughter duo. The duo first caught attention when they reached the second place at the German national final for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Frieden für die Teddybär’n”. In 1988 they won the national final and represented Germany with “Lied für einen Freund”. Several international and national television performances followed. Maxi released a solo single, “I like Otto”, in 1989. After this, not much has been heard and seen of the duo.
In the year 2002 it was Meike Garden who came back to the foreground musically.

She received her diploma in musical and show.
Following her studies, she was a successful musical actress in various productions in Germany and Austria. In collaboration with the Berlin formation The Lady Chapel, she also proved her comedic talent in the twenties Revue “Vorsicht: Weiblich!”.
