Marlen Pelny grew up in the Silberhöhe settlement in Halle (Saale) . She was one of the initiators of the augenpost literature group , consisting of her, Ulrike Almut Sandig and Dorit Horn. The three have been posting poems in Leipzig and other cities since 2001 .

Marlen Pelny set a large number of poems by Ulrike Almut Sandig to music , with whom she appeared at home and abroad from 2000. For a total of four musical readings at Polish universities, she set letters from Heinrich von Kleist to music, which she performed live there. For the International Marianne Brandt Competition 2007 she set poems by Marianne Brandt to music. This setting forms the background for the film "Who Don't I Know". At the International Marianne Brandt Competition 2010 the setting of Pelny was performed live in the Chemnitz Opera . On the occasion of a watercolor exhibition by Günter Grass in Danzig, she set some of his poems to music and performed them live at the opening of the exhibition. She also founded the duo on Sundays together with Dorit Horn . The duo released a self-titled debut album in 2004 and the CD in 2005 between their own words . In 2006, the day Alma bought Kamillen , a musical audio book with Ulrike Almut Sandig was published . The collaboration with Märzwald was continued in 2011 and ended in 2013.

Her first own volume of poetry, Auftakt , was published in 2007 by the Connewitz publishing house . In 2011 we only have to kill the animals by the publishing house Voland & Quist . Since 2010 she is also part together with the lyricist and musician Chio the band Sugar Club that the record label of Popfeministinnen Sandra Grether and Kerstin Grether is signed to. "Sugar clubs sometimes sing about a corpse outside the window, and make it sound like a love song," writes Missy Magazine . The band has played numerous concerts since 2010 and joins the work of Pelny, who wants to combine poetry and music.
