Who is Tom Kaulitz?

Identical twin brothers, Bill and Tom Kaulitz, were born in 1989 in Leipzig. Tom is ten minutes older than Bill. Their parents, Simone Kaulitz and Jörg W, divorced when the boys were seven years old. Soon thereafter, Tom, his brother, and mother, moved to a village near Magdeburg. Their mother worked as a seamstress.

Today, the twins' fashion sense is very different, and so is their hair. While Bill prefers an edgier sense of style and has different colored and short hair, his older brother has long luscious locks and has a more toned-down fashion sense.

At ten-years-old, the twin brothers were performing at private parties, weddings, and talent shows in their hometown. In 2001, at about 12-years old, they met Georg Listing and Gustav Schäfer and formed a band. At first, their group was known as Devilish, but after their first record label dropped them, they changed their name to Tokio Hotel.

Tokio Hotel has four band members

  1. Bill Kaulitz - Vocalist
  2. Tom Kaulitz - Guitarist
  3. Georg Listing - Bassist
  4. Gustav Schäfer - Drummer

Apart from being the leading guitarist in Tokio Hotel Tom Kaulitz also helps his brother as a songwriter and also produces their songs.

A fun fact about how the band's name came about is that;

  • Tokio - is the German spelling for the city, Tokyo. The bandmates all love the metropolis and chose that as part of their name to showcase this
  • Hotel - Since they were touring a lot and spent the majority of their time in hotel rooms, they figured the band name should portray this too.
