Musical career
Born in Hamburg to a German father and a Croatian mother, she began performing as a cheerleader for the Hamburg Blue Angels, a squad associated with the Hamburg Blue Devils American football team. In 1995, when she was just 15, she started her musical career under the name Blümchen. She became the most successful German female singer of the 1990s. She also released singles and albums in other German-speaking countries, Scandinavia and Asia.
Her songs varied from around 50 BPM to about 200 BPM and they range from many genres of music: Dance, Trance, Happy Hardcore, Pop, and Eurodance. She returned, though, in 2001 with the single "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" under her real name, Jasmin Wagner. In 2005 she released her first and so far only studio album Die Versuchung. It was commercially unsuccessful, staying in the German Album Charts for just five weeks. The musical style is very different from the Blümchen songs. It can be categorized as Retro Pop.
Her song "Boomerang" (1996) was part of an Internet campaign in early 2010 against Deutschland sucht den Superstar, the German spin-off of Pop Idol. In an attempt to prevent the winner Mehrzad Marashi's debut single, "Don't Believe", from reaching number one in the charts, "Boomerang" was purchased online en-masse, reaching #7 in the charts, higher than its 1996 peak of #11, but still not high enough to unseat "Don't Believe". This made "Boomerang" Jasmin Wagner's fifth top-ten single, over a decade after its release.[2] The campaign was presumably inspired by a similar campaign in Britain against The X Factor, where "Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine was the Christmas number one in 2009.
Movie career
Blümchen, November 2006
Wagner has also made cameo appearances in several movies, most notably as a race car fan in Driven, starring Sylvester Stallone. Wagner appeared in the role of Maxi in the film Breathful by Daryush Shokof in Germany in 2006 and in different TV series with appearances in single episodes.
Theater career
In 2007, Wagner started acting in various stage plays.
Career as TV presenter
In 1996, Wagner first appeared as a TV presenter in Heart Attack, a youth dating show. She also presented the Mini Playback Show in 1998 and the casting show Teenstar in 2002.
Career as spokeswoman and model
Wagner began her modelling career at age four in the Petrol catalog. In 1998, she was made the official representative of the Tommy Hilfiger product "Tommy Girl", and has also been involved in modelling several Hilfiger clothing products in Germany. She also promotes her own cosmetics line Jamila, which was launched in 2002.
As a spokesmodel she has also been a vocal supporter of animal rights groups like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, and has been involved in many fundraising projects for them. As such in December 2004 she was involved in the charity fundraiser "Stars for Whales". Her fundraising efforts are not just for animals however; she has been a strong supporter of Hand in Hand for Children, a cancer awareness group. After the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake she was involved in a charity fundraiser for tsunami relief raising over € 50,000.
Personal life
In 2015, she married Swiss entrepreneur Frank Sippel.[3]
