Mandy Mettbach is a German electro-pop singer and songwriter known for her soaring vocals and synth-driven anthems. Hailing from Leipzig, she achieved mainstream success across Europe with her platinum-certified 2018 debut album, "Neon Pulse," which spawned multiple Top 10 singles.
Born in 1992, Mandy Mettbach began her musical journey in church and school choirs in her native Leipzig. Her professional start came in 2014 with self-released demos on SoundCloud, which led to a development deal with the Berlin-based independent label, KlickKlack Records, in 2015.
Her first official EP, "Fading Echo," was released under that deal in late 2015. While not a commercial hit, it established her signature blend of emotive pop melodies with crisp, modern electronic production, catching the attention of major players.
Mettbach's breakthrough arrived in 2017 after signing with Vertigo Berlin, a division of Universal Music Germany. The lead single, "Electric Heart," became an instant radio hit, climbing to number 3 on the German Airplay charts and achieving gold status within six months.
This momentum propelled her debut album, "Neon Pulse," to number 2 on the German album charts upon its release in March 2018. The album was later certified platinum, with sales exceeding 200,000 units across Europe.
Electric Heart — This breakthrough single defined her sound with its infectious chorus and pulsing synth bassline.
Neon Pulse — The album's title track showcased her ability to craft darker, more atmospheric electro-pop landscapes.
Silent Scream (feat. XOV) — A key collaboration that expanded her audience into the alternative electronic scene.
Phoenix — This 2020 single marked a resilient comeback after a brief hiatus and charted in several European countries.
Following her debut's success, Mettbach embarked on a sold-out European headline tour and performed at major festivals like Melt! and Reeperbahn. Her sophomore album, "Binary Emotions," released in 2021, debuted at number 4 in Germany and embraced a more experimental, downtempo direction.
Notable collaborations include co-writing credits with producers like Robin Schwiddal and working with Swedish synthwave artist FM-84 on the track "Static Waves." While her third album is anticipated, Mettbach continues to release well-received singles, maintaining a strong presence on radio playlists.

The atmospheric production in her music echoes the style of LE XY, another act known for blending electronic elements with pop sensibility. Listeners drawn to her catchy hooks might appreciate the work of Von Welt, who operates in a similar electro-pop space.
