Natascha Kampusch, the woman who spent eight years locked in a cellar in Austria after being kidnapped, has featured in a newly released single.

The 27-year-old is heard singing an accompaniment on her debut single 'ForGet' and is apparently interested in a singing career, according to the Local.

Her lyrics include "your life is like a roller coaster, your life is like purgatory” and “you'll never be a hero."

The song, which is in English, is reportedly a charity single dedicated to helping "highly sensitive people" (HSP).

Ms Kampusch was kidnapped in 1998 and kept in a secret cellar by Wolfgang Priklopil. She was held captive for more than eight years until she escaped in 2006.

Priklopil, having found that the police were after him, killed himself by jumping in front of a train.

She has written an autobiography - later made into a film called 3,096 Days - and currently lives in Vienna.
