German born bassist Nadja is best known as bass player for the dark gothic industrial metal band Coal Chamber.

Coal Chamber released their debut album “Coal Chamber” on Road Runner Records in 1997, which after extensive touring sold gold and attracted the attention of then manager Sharon Osbourne. It wasn’t until 1999 when Nadja joined the band to engage in a yearlong tour to support their second album “Chamber Music”. Nadja spent near 12 months on the road subbing for Coal Chamber’s founding bassist who was on maternity leave. Some of the tours were “Livin’ la vida loco tour” with Slipknot, Machine Head, Amen, Dope and “Disastour” with Type O Negative throughout Europe.

Coal Chamber went back in the studio to record their 3rd release “Dark Days” and in 2002 Nadja joined the band permanently to engage in heavy touring in support of “Dark days”. The first single was “fiend” and Paul Brown did the video on location at the Adams Family house in Universal Studios, CA.

After some TV (Carson Daly Show) and radio performances the band joined a co- headlining tour “The Jagermeister Music Tour” with Drowning Pool & Ill Nino then continued on a headlining tour “Dark Days World Tour 2002/2003” with American Headcharge.

The band called it quits after the Dark Days World Tour and the members have all moved on to other projects.

Next to working on various musical projects, Nadja started her own T- Shirt & Apparel Company “CruelTees” in 2003. Her apparel is available in Hot Topic stores all across the US as well as online: www.crueltees.com

Nadja’s latest musical collaboration was for the 25th Anniversary of Road Runner Records called “Roadrunner United All stars”. Nadja recorded bass tracks for the song “The End” written by Dino Cazares (Fear Factory) & Matt Heafy (Trivium).

This song was chosen to be the first single of this All Star album and the video for this song will be released in October 2005. The release date of the album will follow shortly after that…….
