"Tokio Hotel" is a German rock band that became famous throughout the world 10 years ago. Talented, bright, outrageous guys blew up the music charts with their tracks and received many awards and prizes. Millions of fans listened to their music, copied their appearance - they grew their hair long, dyed it black, and lined their eyes.

Twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz were born in Leipzig, Germany in 1989. When the boys were 7 years old, their parents separated and their mother married musician Gordon Trumper. He taught the children to sing and play the guitar. Bill composed songs and performed them to the accompaniment of Tom.

Bill and Tom Kaulitz as children

The group was noticed by producer Peter Hoffman, he invited the young men to sign a contract and change their name to “Tokio Hotel”. The guys recorded 15 compositions, among which was “Durch den Monsun”, which hit the top lines of the world charts. The song "Schrei" has become the anthem of all teenagers. This track is a protest against adult oppression.

At the peak of popularity

From 2006 to 2014, the band released 4 records in German and English and toured Europe, the USA and Latin America. The guys' popularity was enormous. However, the next album "Dream Machine" did not rise above number 5 in the German charts.

Band members today

In 2020, after a large-scale tour in support of the new record, the guys took a creative break. However, the group continues to exist.

Biography of Kaulitz

Bill Kaulitz (German: Bill Kaulitz) was born on September 1, 1989 in Leipzig, 10 minutes earlier than his younger brother Tom. This seemingly small time difference played a role in shaping the relationship between the twins. Since childhood, Bill has looked after Tom, and he greatly respects the opinion of his elder and listens to him.

The Kaulitz brothers spent their childhood in Leipzig. But at the age of 7, the boys’ parents divorced. Their mother, Simone Kaulitz, moved the children to the small village of Leutsch, which is located near Magdeburg. There, two years later, she married again, but to musician Gordon Trumper. They hardly talk about relationships in the Kaulitz family, but what is known is that the brothers hardly communicate with their own father. But the stepfather not only got along well with the twins, but also supported their musical endeavors, since he himself studied music.

Bill's school time was spent in an atmosphere of misunderstanding from his peers. At the age of 12, he got piercings, began dyeing his hair black or red, and wearing dark nail polish. All these manifestations of his own personality caused violent indignation among the village boys. Bill was judged, teased by the girl and even beaten. Tom got it too, because he always got into fights. But the elder Kaulitz was not going to give up his individuality. The twins even decided to escape to the city, but their mother and stepfather stopped them, because the boys needed to at least finish school.

Bill Kaulitz - lead singer of the band Tokio Hotel

In 2020, Bill decided to perform solo; he released the album “I'm Not OK.” It included 15 songs. A video clip was shot for the single "Love Don't Break Me".

Bill Kaulitz then and now

Now Bill has radically changed his image, he cut his hair short and dyed his hair platinum blond. The musician participates in fashion shows and appears on the covers of glossy magazines. The Modelwerk modeling agency signed a contract with Bill.

Kaulitz runs a YouTube channel where he posts videos about the band and everyday vlogs. Bill continues to make music. In October of this year, he recorded a duet with the German artist Nisse.

Bill remains a musician

As for Kaulitz's personal life, there have always been many rumors about it. The Tokio Hotel soloist was credited with having affairs with singers, models, makeup artists, and even the daughter of the famous chef Gordon Ramsay. The artist usually does not give any comments about love relationships.

Bill Kaulitz and Trina Strassenburg

Officially, he only had an affair with a fan of Tokio Hotel’s work, Trina Strassenburg. They met at a band concert and dated for a year, then broke up due to constant quarrels.

Bill Kaulitz: personal life

Throughout the musical career of the German group, caring fans actively follow the personal lives of all participants, and especially the leader of the group, who is Bill Kaulitz.

Musician's orientation

The artist left expressive facial features, long hair, dreadlocks, makeup, as well as outrageous outfits and heels in the past quite a long time ago, dyeing his hair blonde and making his image much more masculine. Now Bill Kaulitz appears in public without makeup, but controversy about his sexuality still does not stop. Fans confirm their guesses about Bill's gayness in a variety of situations .

In his songs, the singer never limits love to any gender boundaries. In addition, the elder Kaulitz used to often flirt and even kiss with his younger brother on stage, which gave rise to many rumors about the nature of the relationship between the brothers. Another famous singer, Adam Lambert, also played a role. In his interviews, he often said that he admired Bill’s appearance, character and personality and would really like to meet him in person. However, Adam immediately denied the possibility of a relationship between them, arguing that he had heard about Kaulitz’s traditional orientation.

Many people think that Bill Kaulitz is gay. Initially, the artist denied any rumors and stated that he simply had not yet met the one with whom he would like to go to the end. But later, in 2020, the singer wrote a short article that was published in a German magazine, where he said that age, gender, weight and other indicators do not matter to him at all. He is looking for a person who can radically change his life.

Tom Kaulitz – guitarist and producer

Tom Kaulitz has always been not only the guitarist of the Tokio Hotel group, but also co-authored many songs. In 2020, he became the producer of his brother Bill's solo album.

How Tom Kaulitz has changed

As for successes on the personal front, in the summer of 2020, Tom married German model Ria Sommerfeld, but the relationship fell apart six months later.

Later, the guitarist dated Iranian fashion model Shermin Shahrivar. She was 7 years older than him. This spring, rumors appeared that Tom was having an affair with Heidi Klum herself. Photographs of the loving couple taken by paparazzi appeared in the press.

Bill and Heidi did not hide their relationship from the public. Soon they officially appeared as a couple at the AmfAR charity dinner in Cannes. According to Heidi, she is happy with Bill and is not embarrassed by the 16-year age difference.

Biography

They say about him: “Born with talent” and it’s true. Bill Kaulitz has been singing and writing lyrics since he was 9 years old. While still a small boy, he possessed a perfect singing technique. In 2003, the young man participated in the StarSearch competition for young talents and collected a huge number of points with his song “It’s Raining Men.” This was followed by many further appearances before Bill and company finally rose to the very top of the charts.

He revealed his unique style on the eve of All Saints' Day.
At that party, Bill looked like a vampire, and the young man liked it so much that he decided to look that way from now on. Black hair with long bangs, eyeliner and black nails - actually completely unusual for a boy, but still, Bill finds it cool. Likewise, in matters of talent, no one can imitate it. He writes songs with such meaning and content that some believe that the lyrics belong not to a 16-year-old teenager, but to a much older person. For example, one of Bill’s songs, “Leb Die Sekunde,” was very criticized by older people. They did not understand how this masterpiece could be written by a child who was only 16 years old. But still, Bill can confidently say: “I write songs just as good as everyone else...” Advertising:
Many people consider him homosexual based on his unusual style, but Bill just laughs at it...

His ideal girlfriend is the Olsen sisters.

At first glance, the twins Bill and Tom may seem different, but still, if you take a closer look at them 2-3 times, you will understand it. Sometimes it even happens that both boys fall in love with the same girl... But it rarely comes to an argument: “We forget about the girl, valuing our friendship!” " says Bill.

My opinion: Bill Kaulitz is a multifaceted personality. He appears on stage and to the public as one, but in reality he is completely different. He and his brother (Tom) are twins. Everyone thinks that twins should not only be similar in appearance, but also in character and other characteristics. This is not true at all! Bill has his own point of view and life, love... he has his own opinion. It seems to me that Bill knows how to respect other people...not put them down. And on the other hand, as his fans see him, he thinks only about himself, does not try to be the center of attention - he is an egoist... but he... he is a lonely person, in his own way - in the spiritual sense. IN THIS I understand him. His style is provocative - with this he tries to attract attention to himself. The question immediately arises - DO NOT the fans pay attention to him?? - even funny! He just wants to stand out from the gray crowd. Bill is very talented. Tylant is coming straight out of his ass (sorry). They say correctly that he is a very gifted boy. Even though my mom laughs creepily at his style, she respects this little man. Such people are born only once in a century!!!

Whenever possible, he keeps his promise to someone. Appreciates any communication. He doesn't have many friends. The closest one is, of course, brother Tom. No less dear friends are Gustav Schafer and Georg Listing. Also a family friend – Andreas. He maintains a little relationship with his ex-girlfriends, but at the “hello-bye” level. Due to childhood, school, and moral trauma, he is extremely picky about his choice of friends, but, in general, he is willing to make contact. Most likely, he still communicates with the girl with whom he kissed for the first time and with the one with whom he made love for the first time. (perhaps it was the same girl). He treats enemies with skepticism, indifference and even disregard, reasoning like this: “There is me. I have friends, like a normal person, and, accordingly, enemies. They make me no worse, because they are people just like me, but they don’t have what I have. And if they are my enemies, then they think that I got what I have too easily, and do not even make attempts to achieve the goal. And so far they have not understood this, and this is not my problem!” He says about himself that he is selfish, a shopaholic and lazy! You know, usually when a person says something about himself, this is his idea of ​​himself, that is, what he would like to be. This means that our dear Kaulitz is incredibly active, loves people terribly and looks at shopping without disgust. If he really writes poetry, then this reveals his romantic nature. By the way, the manner of applying makeup, namely pencil and shadow, also speaks of romanticism. With a pencil, he usually does not draw sharp lines, but draws them with a smooth curve. Rarely, the shadows lie at an acute angle - the border is slightly shaded, the application is smooth. I read somewhere that Bill is obsessed with hands. This is a very important fact. As far as I know, this suggests that as a child he was deprived of his mother’s attention. But she either hid who she was giving it to in full, or Bill was so kind that he didn’t notice it and was sincerely happy for his mother, or, what is most likely, Simone Kaulitz’s children had so much freedom that they didn’t even need maternal care . And now, having matured, Bill realized that he misses his mother’s warmth, but the break with his family due to his career does not provide a frequent opportunity to “correct childhood mistakes.” Therefore, he is looking for someone who could give him that care and affection that his mother did not give. Why does he have such a vampire image? Because behind the hard mask of aggressive perception lies a fragile, vulnerable, tender filling. Now in our modern society, people are such that, sometimes, without severe aggression, struggle, competition, it is difficult to make your life fully secure. Therefore, this person with a reverent and beautiful soul carries this appearance with him. Well, after all, his favorite toy as a child was a teddy bear! By the way, now I come across more and more people like Bill. Many masks, many images, many people and many characters.

I can say about Bill... that if he didn’t have such an appearance, I think he wouldn’t be in such demand!!!! Moreover, in this way he emphasizes his individuality!!!! For example, I like him... his music... and his appearance... but it infuriates when some people call themselves his wife... when I think he doesn’t even know about the existence of that girl!!!!

Schaefer Tattoos

Over the years, Schaefer has not changed much in appearance, but serious changes have occurred in his personal life. He got married and had a daughter. Now Gustaf Schäfer remains the drummer of Tokio Hotel.

The artist's private life

How does the lead singer of Tokio Hotel live and does he have a soulmate? How does Bill Kaulitz himself comment on rumors about his sexual orientation? The artist’s personal life is hidden from the public at all times. Bill himself has more than once expressed his own position: he is still looking for and waiting for his soul mate and believes in “excessive love”, for the sake of which he will be ready to do absolutely any act. At the moment, Bill Kaulitz is busy working on his own solo album, which he promises to please fans with in April 2020.
