In 1952 Eva May became a member of the Starlets. In 1953 she was discovered by Kurt Edelhagen as a solo singer. From 1953, Eva May released singles under her own name. "Perlen, Gold und Edelsteine" (1956), "Schau mich nicht so zärtlich an" (1956) and "Das Lied, das meine Mutter mir sang" (1957) were her first successes.
