Judith Holofernes is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on November 12, 1976 in Berlin, Germany. Judy Holfelder Roy (nee Holfelder-von the Tann born on the 12th of November, 1976) is known under the performance title Judith Holofernes, is a German musician, singer and songwriter, as well as an author. Her most well-known work is the singer- songwriter for Wir sind Helden, a German pop-rock group which gained fame in Germany due to the release of the hit song “Guten Tag” in 2002. The band gained praise from critics due in part to Holofernes songs, which are distinguished by their fun use of language and often socially-conscious nature.
Holofernes her voice is heard in the track “X” from the album Supporters’ Album #1 (2003) by German group Einsturzende Neubauten. She also provided background vocals to two songs from Tele on their album Wovon (2004).

She also performed with German group Die Hochste Eisenbahn, recording and performing their song “Vergangenheit” (2012), as well as along with German singer Maxim Co-writing and recording the track “Meine Soldaten” (2013).
In 2011, Holofernes had a public argument with advertising agency Jung von Matt when it asked her if she could participate in an advertising campaign for Bild, Germany’s most widely read tabloid, even though she had been critical of Bild in the past. She responded by posting an open letter on the Wir sind Helden website, where she criticized the campaign and Bild. At the end of the letter, she stated: “The Bild newspaper is a dangerous political instrument: it’s not only a telescope which strongly magnifies into the abyss, but also a malicious entity which is not describing Germany, but shaping it instead – with an agenda.” The letter attracted much attention, causing the Wir sind Helden website to go down. Bild subsequently reproduced the letter without Holofernes’ consent in a single-page advertisement in German newspaper Die Tageszeitung, with a caption at the end thanking Holofernes for her honest and unpaid opinion.
Holofernes lends her support to the Tibet Initiative, a German organization campaigning for human rights and self-determination in Tibet; Attac, a global organization seeking an alternative to neo-liberal globalization; and Viva con Agua, a German charity campaigning for clean drinking water worldwide. She is also a supporter of green issues; in 2011, she performed with the other members of Wir sind Helden at an anti-nuclear power demonstration in Berlin following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.
Following the breakout in Wir sind Helden in 2002 the band gained a lot of media attention and the top newspapers, due in part to Holofernes socially conscious lyrics in songs like “Guten Tag” and “Mussen nur wollen”. Holofernes was then a sought-after interviewer and has been featured in German talk shows like Die Harald Schmidt Show. In 2010 she was a guest on the talk show about politics Maybrit Illner, participating in the discussion “Burgeraufstand 2010 – regiert die Politik am Volk vorbei?” (“Civil uprising in 2010 – Are the people left out by politicians? “).
