Deborah Friedman grew up in New York, and then later lived in California, Florida and Pennsylvania. She received her B.A. in European Studies and German at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, moving to Europe in 1987. Deborah has lived in Munich, Bonn, Brussels and Cologne, where she is now based.

Deborah's interest in journalism began back in college, when she became news director of the campus radio station. She joined Deutsche Welle in 1991 and has worked in both radio and television for the English Service.

Deborah was regular host/editor of Hits in Germany from 2000-2010 and in that time also produced the monthly chart round-up feature for Deutsche Welle's youth lifestyle programme Pulse. After a decade reporting on the ups and downs in the German Top 100, Deborah has stepped down from her full-time position behind the Hits in Germany mic but still occasionally pops up hosting special editions of the programme.
