Just Friends biography

Just Friends are Daniel Höferlin, Denise Zich, Matthias Fuchs and Sabine Manke. They released many singles, 2 albums and one Best of compilation.

The group played in the German TV soap Gute Zeiten Schlechte Zeiten (Good Times Bad Times). In 1995, a song contest was organized between the different actors of the soap. Their competitors were the group Chak (Ch.arly, A.ndy and K.im, 3 other actors of the soap). Chak recorded a eurodance song aswell, called Summer Party. But Just Friends finally won the contest. This is how everything began. After this, they appeared in the TV soap everytime they released a new single.

In Summer 1996 Denise left the group. She started a solo-carreer as actress in some other TV soaps and presented Pumuckl TV, a kid show. She was replaced by another female vocalist Jessica. Matthias later also was replaced by Fares, who looks close to Matthias. Maybe because they took part to the soap and so Fares could also replace Matthias there. When Jessica replaced Denise, she was introduced in the soap as a new character (the cousine of Andy who took part to Chak).

On their 2 albums, they worked many different people, among them Lutz Fahrenkrog-Pertersen, Peter Wagner, Florian Richter, Marc Lennard, Martin de Vries and Roland Götz, who wrote most of their songs on both albums. Among them, you can also names which will sound familiar to eurodance fans, like N-Dee and Frank Lio (3-O-Matic), who wrote the track Take My Heart.

The band members wrote on many tracks of their 2nd album too. On their solo tracks on Friends Forever the members wrote for the first time on own tracks, only Denise didn't wrote herself, her track was written by Florian Richter, Marc Lennard and Roland Götz. But on the other solo tracks you also see in the credits the names Daniel Höferlin, Matthias Fuchs and Sabine Manke.

The last time Just Friends appeared in Gute Zeiten Schlechte Zeiten was for their last single Take My Heart in 1998.
