DOROTHEA Pesch was born June 3, 1964 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

began his musical ride in 1980 with his band of that time, Snakebite , publishing his first work be named "Beast" .

In 1983, DOROTHEA Snakebite decides to leave to join another group originally from Düsseldorf WARLOCK call, which was composed of very young members, full of energy and eager to succeed. WARLOCK made concert tours throughout Germany, achieving a solid base, especially among the many fans Germans.

Amid this wide acceptance, WARLOCK label released the first demo. The independent label Mausoleum bet on them and they began making their first album back in November 1983. In early 1984 launches Warlock "Burning The Witches" recording which is captured a great musical force. The band's original lineup was: Doro Pesch (vocals), Rudy Graf (guitar), Peter Szigeti (guitar), Frank Rittel (bass) and Micha Eurich (drums).

WARLOCK In 1985 managed to sign with a record far more important: Phonogram. Country Lane In studies of Munich, under the direction of Henry Starosta and Rainer Assman, the group released their second album, which bear the name of "Hellbound." In one of his performances for the United Kingdom, in Camden Palace in London, he recorded his first live video: "Metal Racer" . Phonogram, meanwhile, produces a maxi-single only in Germany and England, "You Hurt My Soul" .

That same year, Rudy decides to leave the combo Graf and was replaced by Niko Arvanitis.

That same year, Warlock was one of the leading bands in the festival lineup of Monsters Of Rock in Castle Donnington (England). DORO was transformed into the first woman to climb to its stage.
After the runaway success of WARLOCK , MTV produced a new video, theme "Fight For Rock" . Again, changes in the line up: Peter Szigeti and Frank Rittel leave the ranks, and are replaced by Tommy Bolan and Tommy Henriksen.

WARLOCK In 1987 he moved to New York and begins making his fourth album, under the command of Joey Balin in studies Power Station. In September of that year saw the light and revealing the most outstanding work of the quintet "Triumph And Agony" . A turning point occurs after this masterful record. The group itself produces "All We Are" , a true anthem for the Hard Rock, and the ballad par excellence "Für Immer" . That same year, the band hits the road across Europe, with opening act of the legendary RONNIE DIO.

also his only American tour, WARLOCK shares the bill with legendary bands like Megadeth and Sanctuary. Nor can prevent further changes in the band: Niko Arvanitis Micha Eurich and are replaced by Bobby Rondinelli and Jon Devin.

Despite the successes, for DOROTHEA were hard times. The record company decides that the name of the band is replaced by that of DORO , period. Passages were difficult for her. The group was forced to begin a new stage in his career.

In February 1989, under the direction and production of Balin Joey, they released their first album as Doro , which bear the name of "Force Majeure" . Produced for the new MTV videos, in this case issues "Hard Times" and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" .

In 1990, Doro Pesch GENE SIMMONS is contacted (the legendary KISS bassist), to support you in your new project. His colleagues decided to abandon it entirely, and there must begin a new stage, now, alone. DOROTHEA enters the Fortress Recorders in Hollywood, using session musicians to record his new job, which carried significant connotations KISS style. In May, the album is released, which has just the title of "DORO" . There are two videos of songs "Unholy Love" and "Rare Diamond" . DORO change their style and image with respect to which we had used in WARLOCK.

Back in 1991, is now selling the compilation "Rare Diamonds" , which is the very DORO who chooses the titles to be included. Also release a compilation of the best videos, which carry the same name. Meanwhile, DORO and writing continue to work tirelessly. After a long search

In 1995 he published a compilation called "A Whiter Shade Of Pale", pending completion of the details of his fifth solo.

This work led title "Machine II Machine" . released two videos are the same: "Ceremony" and "Mein Herz In Freiheit stirbt" a beautiful ballad sung in German. This radical change in style not favored too much and not expected was accepted, but we understand it as another stage in DORO in its course artistically.

The contract signed with Polygram for ten years, expires. Bargaining breaks down and looking DORO new label, and this time the chosen WEA. Again, these are tough times for the Germanic.

In 1998, they released their new work "Love Me In Black" . We see a different DOROTHEA but accepted again for all your hardcore fans. This album marked a new revival and another opportunity for her. It was recorded just a video clip: "Love Me In Black", dyed a certain oriental air.
The new record company does not waste the great acceptance and success DORO recovered, and throw a couple of timely collections: "DORO-The Best Of," and "DORO-The Ballads-" .

Going into 1999, winning the streets a compilation of the best tracks from WARLOCK , under the name "Earthshaker Rock" . Again, things do not go quite right for DORO label and decides to break his contract again. After
"Love Me In Black Tour" , DOROTHEA signing with the label Steamhammer SPV-Knoch and Records for the United States and immediately began working on a new project.
