Career
From an early age she was interested in music due to her father's love of jazz. She also sang in a school choir and a gospel choir. After several talent competitions, May could release her first album in 1997; a jazz album, produced by herself. Two years later, she released an album called Wie ein Stern (Like a Star).
Her final breakthrough came in 1999 with the German preselections for the Eurovision Song Contest. She won, but her song “Hör den Kindern einfach zu” ("Just listen to the children") was disqualified because it was already released on an album by someone else. Her second try was in 2000 with the song “I Believe in God”, which finished in second place.
She entered again in 2002 and this time won with a definite place in the final. With the song “I Can’t Live Without Music” she represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. She was not very successful however, reaching only 21st place.
In March 2006, she made a guest appearance at that year's German Eurovision preselection, singing “I Can’t Live Without Music” in a medley of past German Eurovision entries. She also accompanied comedian Hape Kerkeling in a rendition of Italian Eurovision winning song “Insieme”. In October 2006, the album Jetzt wie noch nie was released. Following this, she was released from her recording contract due to poor sales.
