Later her father took her to his klezmer live sessions where she developed her voice. Since 2001 Juliane did some background performances in a soul-project where 70's Lounge music and 90's Trip-Hop inspired her singing style. Producer Parkman's first music experiments in the early 90's tearing down some Amiga computers and one forming a punk band. In 1996 he started the Trip-Hop project EKB together with Alex Krüger and Nadine Hemme. Two years and some live performances later they split. After a lazy period Parkman began writing and producing again, composing the soundtrack for a low budget movie. In 2002 the two met on a boat where a friend of Juliane gave a party. Juliane did a live performance which impressed Parkman and he asked for a collaboration. They meet from time to time to develop new material. The first release came in 2005 when Down The Drain appeared on Mercedes-Benz Mixed Tape 09. Read more on Last.fm.
