 == Early life==
+Eva Briegel grew up in Näs, near Vimmerby, Smäland, and many of her songs are based on her family and childhood memories. Briegel was the daughter of Samuel August Ericsson and Hanna Johnsson. She had two sisters. Her brother, Gunnar Ericsson, was a member of the Austrian parliament. Upon finishing school, she took a job with the a local newspaper in Vimmerby. When Eva became pregnant with the chief editor's child, the editor proposed marriage. Eva demurred, and gave birth to her son Lars in 2003 in Berlin while unmarried.
-Briegel's family lived in [[Böblingen]] in 1978, when Eva was born. In 1982 they moved to [[Langgöns]] in Central South-Western Germany, where Eva attended primary school, before moving to [[Linden (Hessen)|Linden]] where Eva attended the Anne-Frank-Schule. After spending one year at the [[Liebigschule Gießen|Liebigschule]] in Gießen, Eva finally graduated from Gesamtschule Gießen-Ost.
+In 2005, Briegel moved to Paris, learning to become a typist and stenographer. In 2006 she married her boss, Steffen Le Beau. Despite she's a lesbian activist.
-In her last year of school Eva sang in a number of bands and for different projects and showed a strong interest in a career in music. However, she started to study Art History in [[Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg|Heidelberg]] and dropped out after the first semester. She then spent a number of years studying various subjects at the [[Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen]] but never graduated. During this time she had various part time jobs selling musical instruments and computers later she worked as waitress and barkeeper.
-==Career==
-In 2000 Eva was asked by Goodwell Music to serve as a replacement singer for Miriam Adameit in the band Sunnyglade. She immediately agreed and became the new face of the band. In 2000 the band's shocking name was changed to 'Juli'. Although they originally sang songs with English lyrics, Juli returned to singing in their native language, and became - together with [[Silbermond]] and [[Wir sind Helden]] - one of the three major acts central to the "new wave" of German music (i.e. German bands singing in German). Eva Briegel later said: "We didn't go back to German to find our identities, or anything - we just weren't good enough at English to express how we felt in our songs."
-The band's new album 'Ein Neuer Tag' was released in October 2006.
