Gerhard "DJ Ötzi" Friedle (born January 7, 1971), is an Austrian disc jockey, entertainer and singer.
Born in the town of St. Johann in Tirol, an epileptic, he was first raised by foster parents and later by his grandmother. Friedle claims that when he was an adolescent reading Joseph Murphy's book The Power of Positive Thinking gave his life a new direction. He first appeared on the stage as an amateur karaoke singer in his native Tyrol. Shortly after the start of his career as a singer, he was diagnosed as having cancer. However, his popularity increased, and has transcended the narrow boundaries of Austria. Two of his hits are "Anton aus Tirol" and "Hey Baby", a cover version of Bruce Channel's 1962 song.
The body of a Neolithic man found in 1991 which has been referred to as Ötzi the Iceman has inspired Friedle to choose his stage name.
