Nu Pagadi was a pop ensemble originating from Germany, established in December 2004 during the fourth installment of the international reality television series Popstars. Originally formed as a four-member group, they transitioned into a trio by May 2005 following Doreen Steinert's exit. The band characterized their musical approach as "glam rock". Merely ten months after their inception, in September 2005, they declared their disbandment, citing creative disagreements.
