Manfred Alois Segieth, known professionally as Fancy, was born on July 7, 1946, in Munich, Germany. As a singer and music producer, he began his musical journey during high school by performing with the cover band Mountain Shadows. After completing his education, he moved to Munich to pursue a career in music, working as a publisher's assistant while also producing music under the name Tess Teiges. Fancy achieved his breakthrough in 1984 with the single "Slice Me Nice", which was inspired by Divines' "Shoot Your Shot". This success led to the release of several albums, including Get Your Kicks (1985), and Contact (1986). During this era, his propulsive "Maschinen-Beat" sound became a signature of his music, helping tracks like "Chinese Eyes" and "Come Inside" enter the US Billboard Dance Charts. He continued to produce notable songs like "Lady of Ice" (1986), "China Blue" (1987) , and "Flames of Love" (1988). Throughout his career, Fancy has collaborated with various artists and producers, including Frank Farian and Giorgio Moroder. He continued to record and perform well into the 21st century, releasing albums like Voices from Heaven (2004), Forever Magic (2008), Masquerade (Les Marionettes) (2021), and Viva La Vida (2023).
