Daniela Marina Elisabeth Klein (born 10 July 1979), known by her stage name Damae, is a German TV presenter and singer-songwriter who debuted as a vocalist on the Fragma track "You Are Alive". At the age of 14, Damae was discovered by a photographer from the teen magazine Bravo in Germany and began modeling. Soon after, she started receiving offers from music and film producers which she declined, preferring to sing and write in a punk band, and to do freelance and studio gigs. She later met Ramon Zenker, who she admired from Hardfloor. He invited her to his studio to see if they could work together. Damae describes the musical chemistry between them as "amazing" and Damae soon found herself with a record deal as the singer for Fragma. Following the success of Fragma, Damae became the presenter for Dance:District on in Germany and got to interview Paul Van Dyk, Tiësto, WestBam, Jean Jacques Smoothie, Junior Jack, Boogie Pimps, Milk & Sugar, Mousse T. and many more.

The majority of "Toca" was sung by Damae as her position in the group as the lead vocalist had been made permanent after the success of "You Are Alive" (UK No.4). The album was a global success on its release in 2001 and earned a gold disc for its sales in the UK. Fragma were at this time signed to highly prolific UK label Positiva Records.

Damae's position as the lead singer of Fragma was cemented when she was the only lead vocalist to appear on the Fragma's second album Embrace (2002). Due to the success of Fragma's Toca album the band signed to a new label Illustrious in the UK. Damae appeared on all three of the singles from the album, "Say that You're Here" (UK No.21), "Embrace Me" and "Time and Time Again". Damae also appeared on the track "Man on the Moon" which featured on a new version of the album Embrace released a year later in 2003. Due to the success of the singles in club charts across Europe, Damae was in high demand for club appearances.
