Vanessa Mai reveals her best Backnang weekend tips in the podcast!

In the current episode of the podcast “And what are you doing on the weekend?” is the successful singer Vanessa Mai as a guest. In the 221st episode she shares exciting insights into her life and her preferences, including her culinary discoveries and leisure activities.

Vanessa Mai, born in Backnang in 1992, lives there with her husband and their pug. She began her music career in the band Wolkenfrei. She was discovered by a dedicated producer and released her debut single “Jeans, T-Shirts, and Freedom” in 2013, which became a hit. All of her solo albums since 2015, including the successful album “Schlager”, have reached the top ten of the German charts, two of which even reached number one Wikipedia reported.

Insights into personal life

In the podcast, Mai reveals that she likes to eat at the Pizzeria Da Carlo in Backnang on weekend evenings. In the morning, she starts her day with porridge flavored with peanut butter and roasted nuts while listening to her Taylor Swift playlist. Her father once played in a top 40 band, and it's no wonder he still covers his daughter's songs today.

After a long day, she finds vacuuming on the weekend calming, and she usually goes to bed early at 9:30. A popular recipe she discovered on TikTok is her salmon dish, which consists of a bed of lettuce with parsley, dill, artichokes, feta, beluga lentils, chickpeas and chopped pistachios, refined with a vinegar-oil-mustard dressing.

Recommendations for the weekend

The singer, known for her fresh sound and catchy melodies, also has some personal recommendations:
