1944年1月24日Klaus Nomi出生于德国柏林,后学习古典音乐和男高音,1973年从柏林搬到纽约,做点心师,也在夜总会唱歌,同性恋。 他是来自德国的一个歌唱奇才,他在生活中的形象和舞台形象反差强烈,在舞台上染成蓝黑色的头发,化着精致的艺伎妆,武士式的发型和穿着,行为打扮都特例独行,他的音乐包含歌剧、古典、摇滚及舞曲,实验的成分极强,游刃有余得游走于男高音与女高音之间,他是一个大刀霍斧的音乐改革者。 70年代初是PUNK的时代,70年代末New Wave已经成型,David Bowie和一些disco音乐都是当时最IN的音乐元素。 他来到纽约,1979年出现在“Bowie’s Saturday Night Live”节目中,David Bowie唱了The Man Who Sold The World和Boys Keep Swinging,Joey Arias和Klaus充当David Bowie的Background,David Bowie穿着NOMI的衣服学NOMI的唱腔唱他的经典保留曲目The Man Who Sold The World,我们不得不承认Nomi是独一无二的,他可以摆出一个POSE几个小时一动不动甚至不眨一下眼睛。1980年签到了RCA,首支单曲是翻唱 Elvis Presley的“Can’t Help Falling in Love”,逐步被人们认识并接受,经典作品有Cold song,ding dong (the witch is dead),keys of life等。 1983年8月6日因艾滋病死于纽约,享年39岁。死在他的事业即将灿烂的时刻,他也是第一批死于AIDS的名人之一。生前只发了2张LP:Klaus Nomi和Simple Man,之后陆续由BMG等唱片公司发行了一些选集。
