Gerhard "Gerry" Friedle (born 7 January 1971), better known by his stage name DJ Ötzi (pronounced [ˈdiːdʒɛɪ ˈœtsiː]),[1] is an Austrian music producer and singer.

His stage name comes from Ötzi the Iceman, the name given to the 5,300-year-old frozen remains of a mummified man discovered in 1991 in South Tyrol's Ötztal Alps.

In July 2000, Ötzi released a cover version of Bruce Channel's 1962 song "Hey Baby".

This single reached number-one in several English-speaking countries, including Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

In 2007, he released "Ein Stern (...der deinen Namen trägt)" with Austrian Schlager singer Nik P. It reached number one in (Germany) where it stayed for 13 weeks and Austria, number 2 in Switzerland, and number 5 in the European Union, despite the fact that at the time of its release, some of the most popular radio stations in Austria and Germany declined to play the song because its genre did not fit their programme style.
