Tokio Hotel History

The twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz have been into music since early childhood. Bill started singing and writing at the age of 9 and Tom has been playing the guitar since the age of 6. They started working on their talents and taking lessons when they were ten years old. Just two years later, in 2001, they met Gustav and Georg and founded Tokio Hotel. They immediately began working on songs and lyrics together. Gustav, who has been playing drums since he was 6, already had band experience that he put to use in the project.
Just half a year after the founding of the band the boys already had gigs every weekend in and around Magdeburg. It didn't take long before they were discovered by the music industry and were off to the studios. Despite their great succes they have managed to stay the same people that they were before the breakthrough. Life as a band has brought them even closer as they were before.That combined with the professionals that assist and guide them makes their songs become better and inspire them to keep surpassing themselves.

A New Life in LA
News from the Tokio Hotel world: Bill and Tom are in California, preparing their awesome big comeback!

One is wearing a black sleeveless t-shirt, a beanie and sun glasses. The other dude is sporting braids and a pretty casual look. Are these guys members of some American metal band? No, they're Bill and Tom Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel!The fuss around this megaband has cooled down recently - their last album, Humanoid, was released in October of 2009. But fans shall not wait much longer! The twins have moved to LA in order to work on new material in the studio. Eight new songs are already done.

Bill and Tom will shortly be accompanied by their fellow band members, Gustav and Georg, who are currently in their hometown Magdeburg, but skyping regularly with the twins.Among other places, Bill finds his inspiration on the California rock scene. Not only that but the singer dreams big to even perform at the biggest American music festivals with the band! "Last year I visited the "Coachelli" and I've had the best time of my life!" the singer speaks with excitement.

The premiere of new material will be in May when the band will release "IF I Die Tomorrow", a song on which they worked with Far East Movement. "Bill's voice is so unique - exactly what we were looking for." says the american electro-band. Bravo will keep you updated!
