Born in Soufrière, Saint Lucia, Knoch is the daughter of Oliver Bendt, founder of Goombay Dance Band. Her mother is from the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. Knoch grew up in Hamburg. After completing her Abitur, she took lessons in singing, piano and guitar. She began performing in shows with her father's band. In 2000, she played a major role in the musical Buddy.

In the autumn of 2001, she auditioned for the television show Popstars. Knoch did not make it into the finals and was eliminated from the show.

In the summer of 2002, they released the single "Rhythm of the Night", a cover version of a hit by the Italian band Corona.
