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.

First workday for Tokio Hotel @ DSDS



The Tokio Hotel twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz (23) assist Dieter Bohlen in the DSDS jury for the first time today. Also part of the 10th anniversary series is "Culcha Candela" founder and front singer Mateo aka Itchy.

After their creative break in the USA, the Tokio Hotel stars are back in Germany for the first time in two years. They're working on their studio album intensely. Tokio Hotel had many No.1 hits with singles like "Durch den Monsun" and "Übers Ende deer Welt". They're the most successful german band.

Why did the 23 years old pop-twins, who can look back on many platin and gold as well as media awards like Echo, Bambi and MTV Video Music Awards, all of the sudden got back in their homeland Germany for DSDS? "It was just at the right time and we can do our job as jurors and can still keep working on our next studio album" explains Bill. "We always said that if we ever become jurors, then only of the biggest show with the original format."

For Tom the last push to become a juror was that Aerosmith singer Steve Tyler was part in the jury on the last season of American Idol. He thinks it's good that "casting shows rely on the experiences of real artists who can add more sincerity and musical standard to the show".

[…]

"qualified, controversial, mixed and with a huge musical spectrum" that's how RTL-entertainment boss Tom Sänger (43) describes the obvious more younger jury. For the jury starts the first casting recording day in reline today. There are huge expectations on the new jury. Especially the entertainment factor is supposed to be increased.

If it'll work out? The answer will be aired in January 2013 on RTL…
