In 1996, Shomburg took part in the international TV talent contest
European Soundmix Show, which she won, as a result obtaining a recording contract with producer
Harold Faltermeyer and releasing her first single, "I Believe in Love". In 1997, she entered the German Eurovision selection with the
Ralph Siegel-composed "
Zeit" ("Time"), which had originally been written for
Esther Ofarim. "Zeit" emerged the clear winner, and went forward to the
42nd Eurovision Song Contest, held in
Dublin on 3 May. However, the song's performance in the contest was quite disappointing: it managed only an 18th-place finish of 25 entries. Shomburg followed her Eurovision appearance with an English-language album, ''It's My Time
, which failed to sell and remains her only album to date. Unable to make a commercial breakthrough, she subsequently largely disappeared from public view, although for a time she was a singing coach on TV reality show Deutschland sucht den Superstar''. Since 2008, Shomburg has been working with
country rock band Nashfield. == Discography ==
