She has performed on stages across Germany for years. Millions know her face. Nobody has ever heard her sing. Until now.
Catherrine Leclery — known to audiences worldwide through ProSieben’s Germany’s Next Top Model and Queen of Drags — has built one of the most iconic careers in German drag culture without releasing a single original song. Every performance, fully playback. Every stage moment, borrowed music.
On 27 March 2026, that changed.
At a secret Sneak Preview Party, Catherrine performed her first original song live for the first time — to a room of invited guests, accompanied by cameras from Stern TV. The moment will be broadcast on Stern TV on 27 May 2026.
The song was not written by a conventional songwriter. It was not recorded in a traditional studio. It was created entirely with artificial intelligence — by Eliah GOGO, a Creative AI Studio based in Germany.
What is Catherrine AI?
Catherrine AI is a fully realized digital artist — a virtual creative identity built to give Catherrine Leclery something she has never had before: an original voice.
The project combines three elements:
– An AI-generated vocal identity — a synthetic voice crafted specifically to match the emotional tone and persona of Catherrine’s stage character
– Original songwriting — lyrics, melody and musical concept written by Mirko Klos, produced and rendered through generative AI tools
– A digital avatar — a visual AI representation of Catherrine that performs the music on screen, in music videos and across social platforms
The result is a new kind of creative entity: part real person, part digital artist. Catherrine Leclery continues to perform live as she always has — in full drag, fully playback. But now the music she performs is her own.
Why This Matters — AI Music as a New Art Form
There is a conversation happening right now about what AI-generated music means for creativity, authenticity and the future of art. Most of that conversation is happening in the wrong direction.
AI music is not a threat to creativity. It is a new medium — just like photography was when it emerged in the 19th century, just like electronic music was in the 20th. And like every new medium, it does not create quality on its own. It needs real artists behind it.
The internet is already flooded with AI-generated content that sounds like everything and means nothing. Tracks without identity. Visuals without soul. Content produced at volume, designed to disappear.
Catherrine AI is the opposite of that.
Every song was written for one specific person — for her character, her world, her audience. The AI tools were used to realize a human creative vision, not to replace it. The result is music that could not exist without both elements: the human vision and the machine precision.
That is what we believe AI creativity should look like.
How We Built Catherrine AI — The Process
Step 1: Finding the Voice
The first challenge was the most fundamental: Catherrine has never sung. There was no vocal reference, no existing recording to work from. We used **Suno AI** to develop an entirely original synthetic vocal identity — experimenting with tone, timbre and emotional range until we found something that felt true to who Catherrine is on stage.
Step 2: Writing the Songs
Once the voice existed, we could write for it. Mirko Klos — founder of Eliah GOGO and the creative director behind this project — wrote the first songs specifically for Catherrine: lyrics, melody and musical concept developed around her character, her humor, her drama.
The production was handled entirely through AI tools, with multiple iterations and refinements until each track felt finished — not generated, but crafted.
Step 3: The Digital Artist
Catherrine AI is not just a voice. It is a complete visual identity: an AI-generated avatar that performs the music in music videos, social content and digital campaigns. The virtual Catherrine can appear anywhere, at any time, in any context — without scheduling, without production costs, without limits.
The Sneak Preview — 27 March 2026
The first public moment for Catherrine AI happened at an intimate Sneak Preview Party on 27 March 2026. Invited guests heard the song live for the first time — performed by the real Catherrine, in full drag, to her own original AI-produced music.
The evening was accompanied by a Stern TV film crew. The full feature will be broadcast on Stern TV on 27 May 2026.
It was, by any measure, a historic moment: one of Germany’s most recognizable drag performers singing her own original song for the first time in her career — made possible entirely by artificial intelligence.
What Catherrine AI Means for Brands and Artists
The Catherrine AI project is a proof of concept — but it is also a blueprint.
Any brand, artist or creative entity can now have:
– A fully original musical identity — without a recording studio or label deal
– A virtual brand ambassador — with complete creative control over voice, appearance and content
– A scalable digital persona — that releases music, appears in videos and grows an audience across all platforms simultaneously
Virtual artists do not cancel appearances. They do not have off days. They do not age out of relevance. They grow with your brand, in whatever direction you choose.
This is not the future. Catherrine AI is already here.
