Nu Pagadi was a German pop band, formed in December 2004 on the fourth season of international reality television program Popstars.

In September 2005, only ten months after the band's formation, the members announced their official split due to musical differences.

After leaving Nu Pagadi, Steinert released a solo single, Der Brief (den ich nie schrieb), which reached number 29 in the German charts, in August 2005.

Markus Grimm (born 5 May 1979 in Moers) worked as a music journalist for the magazine plugged and sang in the group Cabrit Sans Cor before he was chosen to join Nu Pagadi.

After writing songs for various singers including Claus Eisenmann, a former member of Söhne Mannheims, he has announced a book, Cosmic Dancer, to be published in spring 2009.
