Cascada (pronounced /kæˈskɑːdə/[1][2]) is a German Eurotrance group most famous for their hit singles "Everytime We Touch" (which won them a World Music Award in 2007) and "What Hurts the Most". They have so far sold an estimated 4 million copies of their two albums worldwide.[3] Cascada consists of singer Natalie Horler, and producers DJ Manian and Yanou.
When Natalie Horler was 17, she was doing studio work for various DJs. Eventually; she met Yann Pfeiffer (stagename Yanou) and Manuel Reuter (stagename DJ Manian). Originally, they released music under the name Cascade, but due to another artist with a similar name threatening a suit, they changed it to Cascada.[4] Under Andorfine Records, they produced their debut and hit single, "Miracle", and its follow-up, "Bad Boy", in Germany.[5] This caught the attention of American dance label, Robbins Entertainment. They negotiated a contract and "Miracle" was released in 2004.[6] However, it did not attract much attention, so Cascada offered them "Everytime We Touch".
