Performance- and success-oriented from an early age, Annie Oelmann, aka Annie O., decided to study business administration at a renowned German private university. After graduating, she had achieved her goal: At the age of 22, she went to London to join Merrill Lynch as an investment banker. Her starting salary was just under €100,000.
Purpose: The break in her resume – from Investment Banker to DJane
But after a very short time she realized that the investment banker’s daily routine didn’t suit her needs at all and that she had been chasing an illusory self-affirmation. She listened to her gut, quit after only 6 months and let herself drift without a plan for the first time in her life. This led her to music: first she played as a drummer in a London electro band for years, finally she continued on her own as a DJ and moved to Berlin.
