Tokio Hotel is a German rock band from Magdeburg
Germany that formed in 2001 under the name Devilish.
They later changed their name to Tokio Hotel and
are signed with Universal records. The band consists
of identical twins Bill (vocals) and Tom Kaulitz
(lead guitar), Georg Listing (bass), and Gustav
Schafer (drums).The group has released three German albums to date:
Schrei (2005), Schrei: So Laut du Kannst (2006),
and Zimmer 483 (2007).They've released one English album (a compilation of
songs translated into English from both Schrei and
Zimmer 483) in 2007.Bill Kaulitz was born in Leipzig, Germany on
September 1, 1989. He has one sibling, a twin
brother named Tom who is older by ten minutes.
His parents divorced when he was seven years old,
and then his mother, Simone, quickly remarried.
Gordon, the new stepfather, had a major musical
influence on the twins as he was in a band of his
own. This no doubt inspired Bill to start writing
his own songs at a young age and eventually go on to
co-found Devilish with his brother.He has three tattoos (a star on his stomach, "freiheit" on his left arm and the
