Lena Meyer-Landrut is inscribed as the 52nd Global Music Royalty in June 2022.

She is chosen for her 9 participations and her victory for Liechtenstein, making her a Global Music Champion as well as an ESC Champion. 

Presentation

Lena Meyer-Landrut is a German singer and songwriter who gained widespread fame in 2010 when she won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Satellite." Born on May 23, 1991, in Hanover, Germany, she grew up with a passion for music and performance, although she had little formal training before entering the public eye. Her rise to fame was rapid, sparked by her participation in the talent competition "Unser Star für Oslo," where she impressed both judges and viewers with her natural charm, unique voice, and unpretentious style.

After winning the German national selection, Lena became a sensation almost overnight. "Satellite" topped the charts in multiple European countries and led Germany to its second-ever Eurovision victory. Her performance stood out for its simplicity and authenticity, marking a shift away from the more elaborate staging typical of the contest. Her win brought her both national acclaim and international attention.

Following Eurovision, Lena released her debut album, which included “Satellite” along with other songs performed during the competition. The album was a commercial success and established her as one of Germany’s leading pop artists. In the years that followed, she continued to release new music, showing artistic growth and experimentation with different styles, from acoustic pop to electronic influences. Albums such as "Stardust" and "Crystal Sky" demonstrated her evolving musical identity and personal maturation.

In 2011, she returned to Eurovision to represent Germany again with the song “Taken by a Stranger,” finishing in the top ten. While her second entry was more experimental and darker in tone, it reflected her willingness to take creative risks rather than simply repeat a proven formula.

Over time, Lena has remained a prominent figure in German pop culture. She has taken on roles as a voice actor, television personality, and talent show judge, further broadening her public profile. Despite the ups and downs of fame, she has cultivated a reputation for authenticity and emotional honesty, often addressing themes like vulnerability, confidence, and self-empowerment in her lyrics.

Lena Meyer-Landrut’s career is marked by a rare combination of mainstream appeal and a strong personal voice. She has successfully transitioned from a sudden breakout star to an established artist with a lasting impact on the German music scene, continuing to connect with audiences through both her music and her openness as a public figure.
