==Biography== Anja Plaschg grew up in the Austrian village of Katzendorf, near Gnas, in southeast Styria, where her parents had a farm. She played the piano since age six, and when she was 14, she took up violin studies and developed an interest in electronic music. She studied graphic design at high school in Graz but dropped out at 16 and moved to Vienna. There, she studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in the master class of Daniel Richter, but at 18, she dropped out again. Explaining the stage name Soap&Skin, she said, "soap and skin are two substances which react on each other in different ways – not only does soap clean skin but it also protects it, and foam is as beautiful as it is vanishing rapidly".
