Tom Kaulitz

When classmates started teasing Tom Kaulitz about his long hair, he decided that he would grow it even longer. This early manifested intransigence towards any social framework helped the musician to pass through the popularity, which fell on the group "Tokio Hotel", created by him with his twin brother Bill Kaulitz. At the start of the German teen rockers, whose fan base was mostly schoolgirls, only the lazy did not criticize. Nevertheless, the synth-pop band has taken its own niche in world music.

Magdeburg is considered the homeland of the group: in the suburbs, the twins lived and attended school, in the town on the Elbe they gave their first concerts. However, Bill and Tom were born on September 1, 1989 in Leipzig, while Tom was 10 minutes ahead of his brother and formally considers himself the elder.

The family of Jörg and Simone Kaulitz had an average income: their father drove transit trucks, my mother earned money by sewing.

The personal life of the twins' parents did not work out, and by the time the boys entered the school, Simona and Jörg had divorced. The children stayed with their mother, and she transported them to the village of Loitsche, located near Magdeburg.

It is not known what Tom's fate would have been if Simon had not met Gordon Trumper. The vocalist of the local well-known group with the iconic name "Future" not only replaced the boys' father, but also instilled in them a love of music.

Already at an early stage in their creative biography, the brothers decide to speak in public. The Kaulitz duo played their debut concert, as well as a series of subsequent ones, at the Gröninger Bad club in Magdeburg. In the same institution Georg Listing and Gustav Schaefer spent their free time. Having become interested in the work of the brothers, the teenagers subsequently joined them. Georg became the bass player, Gustav sat down at the drums.

For two years the team of Tom and Bill played under the name "Devilish", which means "devilish" in German. The teenagers even released an album of the same name on their own. Copies were sold at concerts.

Everything changed in 2003, when the 14-year-old musicians were noticed by Peter Hoffman, who attended a concert in Magdeburg. The music producer considered the band to be a great success.

Thanks to Hoffman, the band changes its name to Tokio Hotel and begins a partnership with Sony BMG label. With the support of the company in August 2005, the first single was released.

The song "Durch den Monsun" is accompanied by a debut video. And at the beginning of autumn, pop-rockers delight fans with their first album entitled "Schrei".

Unusual style, lyrics close to every teenager and press support give Tokio Hotel an explosive start. Already in March 2006, Tom, as part of the group, received the German Music Prize, which has been awarded to Whitney Houston, Paul McCartney and other world stars so far.

In 2007 Tom went on the Zimmer 483 tour for the first time, organized in support of the second album. Among the 20 sold-out concerts played by "Tokio Hotel" in just a month and a half, there is also a Moscow performance. Russian fans make up a significant part of the rock band's fan base. Only in Russia and Germany does the second album receive platinum status.

In 2016, Tom produced his brother's solo album I'm Not OK. The disc contained 5 tracks, with Tom's name being listed among the authors of each of the compositions. In 2017, the fifth studio album "Dream Machine" was released, which climbed to the first lines of the national charts in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The tour in support of him began immediately after the release and ended in April 2018 with big concerts in the capitals of Russia and Germany.

The sudden popularity was a test for Tom. In 2009, a scandal erupted over the fact that the eldest of the twins slapped a fan. Tom later explained that in that conflict he defended his mother from an inadequate girl. But the incidents continued, and the Kaulitz brothers moved to Los Angeles, where they still live.

June 19, 2015 became a "black day" for Tom Kaulitz's fans: the musician married the German model Ria Sommerfeld. But in the status of the wife of the guitarist "Tokio Hotel" Ria stayed six months, then the couple divorced. In 2017, the press attributed Tom an affair with the Iranian model, Miss Europe 2005 title holder Shermin Shahrivar, his senior by 7 years.

Since 2018, the musician has met with supermodel Heidi Klum. The novel caused a heated discussion, since the age difference between the lovers is 16 years. However, the couple did not care about the resonance: Klum posted joint photos with Tom on Instagram, while the model herself was captured in the pictures without makeup. In an interview, Tom repeatedly said that he was happy next to his chosen one.

Relationships developed at a rapid pace, already at the end of 2018, the musician made an offer to his beloved. In February 2019, it became known that Kaulitz had married Klum. The wedding took place in New York. But one celebration was not enough for the newlyweds.

In August of the same year, they played a wedding on the island of Capri, where they invited their close friends. The festivities dragged on for 3 days. The official wedding photo appeared on Heidi's microblog page 2 days after the celebration.

Tom Kaulitz is 186 cm tall and weighs about 75 kg. He is Virgo by his zodiac sign. On the arm there are tattoos of the steering wheel and anchors, and on the fingers - a tattoo in the form of the numbers 0620. At the same time, the brother had a similar image - 0630. Fans assume that the number is associated with the time of birth.

The eldest of the twins continues his creative career with Tokio Hotel. In the summer of 2018, Bill Kaulitz announced on Instagram that the team was working on a new album. Unlike his brother, Tom is not registered on social networks.

The release of the English-language disc "Melancholic Paradise" is scheduled for 2019. But its date is not yet known to the public. Now fans have access to only two new singles, which precede the release of the next album - the songs "Melancholic Paradise" and "When It Rains It Pours".
