01. Invisible Man: We heard nothing about you about 17 years. Could you tell us about you. How was your destiny after your leave from Rouge band? Did you record any new songs after your leaving from this group? Did you take a part in any joint musical projects?
Michaela: After my music-career, I'd started to intensify my interests in metaphysical things. I studyed methods of relaxing mind+body, like REIKI (jap. REI=God, King KI=Energy) and the Massage with tibetan resonating bowls. Also the spiritual method of "looking behind the human curtain" with Numerology+Tarot, was on my list. Now I'm working as a Reiki-Master + Lifecoach, giving Massages and Counselings. But for sure, is music still a big part in my life! I'm still working in different projects, like a kind of Jazz-Standards+Evergreens with my Life-Partner, who is a very good Jazz-Pianist, and now also with Stephen Folkers in his project "THE STOLEN DIAMONDS" with Disco-Hits of the 70', 80', 90'. All of this is giving me a lot of fun!!!

02. Invisible Man. We remember you as singer from Arabesque, as singer the greatest ballads like "Born to reggae", "I stand by you", "Love is just a game", "The only night was a lonely night". Why the Arabesque band is end? Because Sandra left this group or because the contract with producers and record company was end?

07. Invisible Man: As we saw in several video clips and performances of Rouge, that we have, the basic song vocal belongs to Jasmine. What was the cause of it?

Michaela: The project "THE STOLEN DIAMONDS" is a new project, so nobody will replace anyone.

14. You worked with Sandra for a long time. What feelings to her did you have after she left the group? Do you think her solo career is successfull?
Michaela: Jasmin and Sandra were good colleagues during our working times, but we all are very different characters, so every one of us was and is living their own lifes and careers. Arabesque started 1977 with me and two other girls (so I'm the only member-founder). After having our first big success in Japan with our first Single "Hello Mr. Monkey" (and first golden record), the two other girls became pregnant and one was replaced by Jasmine and an other girl, after this one also became pregnant (..as you can see, we were very "fertile"..), she was replaced by Sandra (1979).
