Simone & Charly Brunner, an Austrian Schlager duo consisting of Simone Stelzer and Charly Brunner, formed in 2013. Their collaboration began earlier when Charly Brunner wrote texts for Simone Stelzer's albums Träume (1999) and Solang wir lieben (2001). The duo's first joint effort was the song "Ich denk noch an dich" in 2012, which appeared on Stelzer's solo album Pur. This led to their debut album as a duo, Das kleine große Leben, released under the name Charly Brunner & Simone. The album achieved chart success in Austria and Germany. In 2015, they released Alles geht! under the name Brunner & Stelzer. Their third album, Wahre Liebe (2017), marked their name change to Simone & Charly Brunner. Notable singles include "Nachtschwärmer" (2018). The duo won the Amadeus Award in 2014 for "Schlager" and received the Goldene Antenne award from the Belgian Radio in September 2016.
