Selig was founded in 1993 in Hamburg, Germany. The original members were singer Jan Plewka, bassist Leo Schmidthals, guitarist Christian Neander, drummer Stephan "Stoppel" Eggert and keyboarder Malte Neumann. Their first LP "Selig", a grungey album with hippie elements, was released in 1994. The singles "Sie hat geschrien" ("She Screamed") and "Wenn ich wollte" ("If I wanted to") entered the German charts almost immediately.
