Band Members: Frank "Franky" Ziegler (Vocals)
Date of birth: April 28,1987
Franky, the singer of the band, is the only one who was born in South Germany, in Heidelberg. He met David through the internet. In order to meet the others, he went to Neumünster and, after being accepted as a band member, took up permanent residence there. He said that it was a bit difficult to get used to the fame, as he was raised in a small town; he has also said that he misses his home town and family.
Timo "T:mo" Sonnenschein (Rap)
Date of birth: September 20,1987
T:mo is the rapper of Panik. His father was the bass player of the German band Illegal 2001, so he had made his first music experiences very early in life. His hobbies include making films and music videos. The song Neustart is his personal showdown with the enemies he had in high school.
Christian "Lefti" Linke (Bass/Guitar/Vocals)
Date of birth: March 11,1987
Linke, the bassist, was also born in Neumünster. He is known to be fluent in English, and an avid book reader. He has a tattoo on his forearm that reads Edmond Dantès (the main character from The Count of Monte Cristo). Linke has said that the tattoo should always remind him about how self-destructive revenge really is. He also became very popular on MySpace after he had launched his personal profile.
David "Bonifacio" Bonk (Guitar/Piano/Vocals)
Date of birth: Febriary 06,1988
David is the band's guitarist and piano player. He and T:mo have been best friends since their early childhood. Even though they went to different schools, they remained very close. The other band members meet in David's house to do brainstorming, and they play music in his garage.
Juri Schewe (Drums)
Date of birth: November 24,1986
Juri is the drummer of the band. The other band members describe him as the most hard-working of them all. He had also finished high school with the highest average. He is the "boss" of the band: he talks to their label about important decisions, and takes care of financial and legal matters. In Juri's words, "David's domain is internet, T:mo makes films and documents everything. Jan is our driver, Franky is the cook, and Linke is the one who always makes up something fun to do".
Jan Werner (DJ)
Date of birth: March 01,1988
Jan is the band's DJ. The band said they are proud that their band has a DJ, on top of all the other instruments. Jan was the biggest mystery of the band, because in the beginning he wore a black mask that covered all of his face except for the eyes. Later, in an exclusive photo-shooting for the BRAVO magazine, he took off his mask for the first time. Jan said that he was too shy to show his face as the band rose to fame, and he will remain masked at their concerts since it has become his trademark.
