Musical artist
Helge Schneider (born 30 August 1955 in Mülheim an der Ruhr) is a German entertainer, comedian, musician, composer, author, film and theatre director, actor, and screenwriter. He frequently appears on German television and is probably best known for his novelty song Katzeklo (Kitty Litter Box): “Katzeklo, Katzeklo, ja das macht die Katze froh” (“Kitty litter tray, kitty litter tray, that’s what makes the kitty gay [happy]”), which spent 17 weeks on the German music charts in 1994, peaking at number 13.[1]
Despite his success with comedy music, Schneider is also a recognised jazz musician. He learned to play the piano as a child and taught himself numerous instruments in his youth.[2]
In addition to several music albums, Schneider has also published audiobooks and radio plays.
