Bill and Tom Kaulitz:
Childhood, biography of Bill Kaulitz
The brothers were born in Leipzig on September 1, 1989. Due to the divorce of his parents, when the twins were seven years old, Bill began to not get along with his peers and often entered into conflict situations. Two years later, the family moves to the village of Loitsche. Their mother Simone remarries musician Gordon Trumer, who later supported the teenage twins in their musical aspirations.
In the village, Bill's life was not sweet, because of his non-standard appearance, he became an outcast, classmates often joked and teased the guy. But Bill was not going to change anything in himself, at 12 he pierced his tongue and eyebrow, and dyed his hair bright red, and then black.
Once on Halloween, Bill dressed up as a vampire, he summed up his eyes with black pencil, painted his nails with black varnish. The guy liked the image so much that he began to use it in everyday life. This appearance of Bill in the village caused only indignation.
Soon the twins, having consulted, decide that they need to leave the village and go to the city. But they were still children, of course they were not allowed to go anywhere, the twins had to finish school.
Tokio Hotel
When Bill turns 13, he and his brother create his musical group Devilish and the brothers perform in the bars of Magdeburg, which is not far from their village. Later, two more boys join them, and the group changes its name to Tokio Hotel.
After a while, Bill decided to try his hand at a talent show, but did not make it to the quarterfinals. But it was Bill's participation in the talent show that drew the attention of producer Peter Hoffman to him, who took over the Tokio Hotel group.
Bill was fascinated by show business and quickly got used to it. So, not yet graduating from school, he becomes the lead singer of the group.
From that moment on, the Kaulitz brothers grow up in front of their audience. During this time, Bill has changed his image more than once, and continues to amaze with his appearance, and his style is inherited by girls all over the world.
The group's first song was "Durch den Monsun", and a month later the group released their first album "Schrei".
The twin brothers begin a busy life with constant tours, which once affected the health of the soloist, Bill had to undergo vocal cord surgery.
With the growing popularity of Bill and Tom, they are invited as members of the jury on the show. "Germany is looking for a superstar",
In 2010, Bill tries himself as a model. Together with his brother, he advocates for the protection of animals, in particular, for Euro 2012, they took part in a campaign against the extermination of animals in Ukraine.
And in 2011, he received the STAR PLANETE website award. Several times the musician won the championship in the category "International Male Artist".
Personal life of Bill Kaulitz
Bill Kaulitz keeps his personal life behind seven locks. The producer also helps to carefully hide the personal lives of the brothers in order to keep the group's popularity at its best.
As Bill himself stated, since the creation of the group, the musician has less time for his personal life. Therefore, he had only a few novels, about which almost nothing is known. In this regard, rumors began to appear about the homosexuality of the musician. But Bill denies all the rumors and claims that he has not yet met the one with whom he would like to spend his life.
There were also rumors that Bill had a short romance with nikki ramsay, daughter of British TV presenter Gordon Ramsay. But this novel is also in doubt. Although the girl claims that she and Bill had a relationship and did not last long, and despite the breakup, she and Bill maintained a warm relationship.

Childhood of Bill and his brother
The future vocalist of the infamous group was born in Leipzig a year before the GDR and West Berlin became part of a unified Germany. Bill was born 10 minutes earlier than his twin brother, and this difference determined the relationship of the boys for life: the elder takes care of the younger, and Tom listens to Bill's opinion in everything. When they were 7 years old, the parents of the children, Jörg and Simone, divorced, and two years later the mother took the twins to Leutsch (a small village near Magdeburg).
Pictured is Tom and Bill Kaulitz as children. There are always heated discussions about Bill and Tom's childhood. The reasons why mother and father divorced are discussed with great reluctance by the brothers themselves. What is known for sure is that they communicate little with their own father, do not feel special love for him. And the stepfather, musician Gordon Trumper, on the contrary, is on excellent terms with them. According to Bill, it was Gordon who understood his desire to advance in music and supported him already in early childhood.
Mr. Jörg told BILD in 2012: “Tom reprimanded me many times for leaving their mother. This is a lie, she was very ambitious, she wanted to live actively, and I wanted a quiet life, she herself decided to leave.
And what was the childhood of the twins in terms of behavior? It is said that after moving to Leutsch they were left to their own devices and hardly went to school. Here's what Bill said about it: “We grew up in an environment where drugs and alcohol were normal among our peers. But that doesn't mean we were the same!"
The future leader of "Tokio Hotel" really did not differ in good behavior in childhood: at the age of 12, he pierced his eyebrows and tongue, and dyed his long hair either black or red. Because of this, he often "raked" from his village peers, he was teased and beaten. In the village where the brothers grew up, the guy's appearance caused indignation and condemnation. The twins decide to escape to the city, but the attempt to become independent was stopped by their mother and stepfather: first finish school, and then think about independence!
And yet they declared themselves - in 2001 a musical duet was created, called "Devilish". The duet of Bill and Tom was joined almost immediately by Georg Listing and Gustav Feber. Performing in a small club in Magdeburg, the group simultaneously recorded songs on CDs and sold them. In total, they sold about three hundred different discs without a title, and now it is a great happiness for the fans of the brothers to become the owner of one of them.
The appearance of the group "Tokio Hotel"
In 2003, Peter Hoffman accidentally wandered into Devilish's performance. Yes, the same one that The Doors produced at one time! He still perceives the urge to have a beer in "Gr ö ninger Bad" as a sign from above: "I listened to them and thought: damn it, these guys are worth it to do, they will succeed!". Hoffman took over the little-known foursome and insisted on changing the name to Tokio Hotel.
The Tokio Hotel team consists of Tom and Bill Kaulitz, Gustav Schäfer and Georg Listing. 15 songs were written at once, 12 of them were selected - the plan was to release a large album. On August 15, 2003, one of the songs, "Through the Monsoon" (Durch den Monsun), received a full arrangement and was recorded "clean". It became the band's first full-length single. Since the band's name had a "Japanese" connotation, Hoffman suggested recording a second version in Japanese, "Monsun o koete".
Both versions of the song were auditioned at Sony BMG, and a video contract was immediately signed. Since all four were minors, the documents were signed by the twins' mother, Simone Kaulitz-Trumper. By the way, she also signed the contract with Hoffman. Later, the boys' father tried to claim financial custody of his sons, but met with a tough rebuff from both his ex-wife and themselves.
On August 16 of the same year, the single "Through the Monsoon" was released on German TV channels. In less than two weeks (from 16 to 26 August) the clip has risen from 15 to 1 place! In Austria, the song was also received with a bang, it was played on all music channels.

His friend Alex Gernandt worked as a deputy editor at the German youth magazine Bravo, and before the contract with Sony BMG, Peter gave him a few singles to listen to. "How cool they are!" – enthusiastically declared Alex. With his submission, the portrait of the four was placed on the cover of the magazine even before the release of the first song on television.
Triumphal procession around the world
In 2005, the group's first big album was released, it was called "Scream", and almost immediately a clip of the same name was shot. The band and Hoffman took a big risk by re-voicing the song for the video - Bill's voice suddenly began to crack. Despite this, the clip immediately took first place on all music channels.
Tokio Hotel March 11, 2006 - on K ö nig-Pilsener-Arena hosted the first big Tokio Hotel concert. At the end of the concert, in front of almost 12 thousand spectators, they were awarded the prize. For beginners - and the prestigious award of the Arena in Oberhausen! Before them, only recognized stars were awarded such an honor, for example, Whitney Houston and Paul McCartney.
Glory fell upon the German guys. By December 2006, almost half a million discs had been sold, the number of concert tickets sold had exceeded 200,000. Alex Gernandt, who was still working at Bravo, was rubbing his hands pretty: the group's photo had already been placed on the cover of the magazine 13 times, which (understandably business!) allowed to significantly increase the circulation.
In March of the same year, three new songs were written specially for Bill's breaking voice: "Blackness", "Confession" and "Theme No. 1". They were included on a new studio album called Scream - and as loud as you can. In September, the song from this compilation "The Last Day" took the top line in all the world charts, and the album itself sold better than the compilations of Jon Bon Jovi and The Rolling Stones, which were released at the same time.
Moscow was chosen as the first city outside of Germany where Tokio Hotel decided to give a concert! A very diverse audience gathered for the concert in Luzhniki: from children with parents to people of almost retirement age - everyone wanted to look at the German stars! Kaulitz performed his already old single "Save Me" in a new version - not in a boyish thin voice, but in bass semitones, and the new version was received with enthusiasm by the audience. During the concert, all four threw wet towels and drumsticks to the audience: now pieces of this fabric and wood are a very expensive rarity among fans. In 2007, the group once again came to Moscow to receive the Muz-TV award.
German musicians at the Muz-TV Awards. Moscow 2007. The German boy band made many more visits to Moscow, and in 2016 a series of concerts almost came under threat. Women who had teenage children united in a militant group and demanded that the performance be cancelled. The reason was the clip "Feel It All", where the main character behaved, in their opinion, inappropriately.

Bill's personal life and interesting facts
The constant change of image, defiant unisex costumes, unusual hairstyles and bright “non-male” makeup, scandalous behavior on stage - all this causes indignation on the one hand of the “virtuous” audience, and at the same time warms up the love of the fans. For example, at the first concert in Moscow, Bill was so "dispersed" that he began to depict obscene harassment of his brother right on the stage. This, and not only, gave rise to rumors about the "wrong" relationship of the twins, and too little information was leaked to the press about Tom and Bill's novels with women. With whom Bill “twirls love” and who his girlfriend was, it was known exactly only once: Nikki Ramsay, the daughter of a popular English showman, confirmed that they had a relationship.
Pictured is Nikki Ramsay. In 2015, the press got a photo of his older brother, where he was captured arm in arm with Liz Vanderpump, the star of the American reality show Real Housewives. Everything would be fine, but the lady, beautiful in all respects, was 54 years old at that time! In response to journalists' questions: "What is this, love?" - Bill did not confirm or deny the connection with a woman suitable for his mother. He “added fuel to the fire” with a statement: “I am constantly waiting for a miracle, I want to meet a person who will change my life dramatically, and it doesn’t matter to me what age and gender he will be.” Oh how...
Bill in 2018. Photo Instagram www.instagram.com/billkaulitz Recently (probably because he has matured) Bill has changed his "sweet" image to a more masculine one. Not all fans took it positively: “He was such a cutie 5-6 years ago, what did he do to himself?”
Not only a suspicious orientation and outrageous creativity cause a stir around the leader of "Tokio Hotel". Now he declares that he has become a staunch vegetarian, then suddenly he shares his favorite recipes for chicken pizza and milkshake on the Internet. The brothers are provocative in public, but do not like to give interviews at home.

Now several dogs live with Bill and Tom, their biggest favorite is the bulldog Pumba, they also had a cat Casimir. The brothers have been active members of the global organization for the protection of animals "PETA" for many years. In 2012, they publicly protested the extermination of stray dogs in Ukraine ahead of the European Football Championship. They never wear real fur or leather.
Scandals haunt Bill and Tom all the time: not so long ago there was a rumor that the girlfriend of Kaulitz's younger brother was forced to break up with him and get facial plastic surgery, as the fans threatened to disfigure her. Their adoptive father, Gordon Trumper, had to delete his YouTube account twice due to indiscreet questions and insults.
Today, September 1, twin brothers Tom and Bill Kaulitz, members of the once popular band Tokio Hotel, celebrate their birthday. In honor of this event, "Owl" decided to recall interesting facts from their creative and personal lives.
Bill and Tom Kaulitz are musicians who became world famous thanks to the band Tokio Hotel. About 10 years ago, the guys gathered a huge number of fans at concerts, and every second teenage girl was in love with them. But even today, despite the decline in popularity, the Kaulitz brothers, together with the team, albeit not so often, but continue to perform. In honor of the 29th birthday of the guys, we decided to tell interesting facts from their creative and personal life.
Future musicians - idols of youth were born in the city of Leipzig (Germany). By the way, Tom was born 10 minutes earlier than his brother, Bill. It cannot be said that the guys had an endless interest in music from an early age - they were ordinary teenagers of that time: Bill began to dye his hair black, Tom first braided his dreadlocks at the age of twelve.
The parents (father is a trucker, mother is a seamstress) of the brothers divorced when they were still schoolchildren. Yes, and peers treated them specifically because of their extraordinary appearance. However, the girls already in those years were crazy about handsome brothers: Bill amazed everyone with his magical aura and gentle character, Tom conquered with innocent smiles, humor, charm and charisma.
Photo: Portal “The Most Successful”In 2001, the guys decided to create their own group - it was called Devilish. The students of the school where they studied began to ridicule their hobby. But the guys continued to believe in their success and regularly gathered in the Kaulitz garage and rehearsed. A little later, Bill took part in a German talent show - producer Peter Hoffman noticed him there, who began to promote his team - after a while he got his current name -
And so, in 2005, the first single was released, and then a video for the track "Durch den Monsun". And off we go - off we go: the first album, new videos, sold-out concerts. There were also problems: in particular, Bill, who was the vocalist, began to break his voice. But even this managed to survive the musicians, rapidly gaining popularity.
In 2007, the band embarked on a new tour in support of the Zimmer 483 album. In total, since 2005, the musicians have arranged five tours - both in Europe and America, Mexico and other countries of the world. They even gave several concerts in Moscow, which gathered a full house - the fans were delighted!
Well, now it's time to talk about the personal life of the Kaulitz brothers. There are a lot of rumors around them, and not always pleasant ones. Let's start with Bill. Often there were rumors that he had an unconventional sexual reputation: perhaps this was due to his external image, which he changed as he grew up. He had relationships with girls - with one of them, Trina Strassenburg - a fan of the group, he met for more than a year. But in 2014, he wrote an article - that when he meets a person he loves, his gender, nationality, age and weight will not matter to him.
Photo: 24 media Tom Kaulitz was officially married - in 2015 he married model Ria Sommerfeld, but six months later the musician filed for divorce. And in March 2018, reports began to appear that Tom was spending a lot of time in the company of German supermodel Heidi Klum.
Personal life of Bill Kaulitz has changed a lot since he became the lead singer of the popular musical group Devilish, later renamed Tokio Hotel. The group was formed by Bill, his brother Tom and their friends Gustav Schäfer and Georg Listing. Bill gained immense popularity among teenagers, especially girls, who did not give the young musician a pass, bombarding him with letters and declarations of love. Each of his stage appearances was accompanied by their enthusiastic cries and it was hard to believe that there were not so many novels in Bill Kaulitz's personal life. Blame it all, according to the Tokio Hotel vocalist, on his busy schedule, but he never lost hope of finding true love.

However, even in his loneliness, Bill tries to find the advantages that no one limits his circle of communication and does not need to report to anyone. Bill Kaulitz does not consider himself a heartthrob, therefore he does not welcome short-term hobbies and small romances, according to the musician, if he enters into a relationship, then they must be very serious and long-term. He admits the possibility that one of the fans could become his girlfriend, but only if he truly falls in love. In the personal life of Bill Kaulitz, communication with fans often happened, but so far it has not reached a close relationship with any of them.
In 2010, an important event happened in the biography of Bill Kaulitz and his brother - they moved to Los Angeles, and explained their departure from Hamburg by the desire to hide from everyone and live their own lives. They settled in a big house and feel very comfortable, and Bill and Tom are accompanied by four dogs. They are still drawn to Germany, where their family lives, and they come to their home whenever possible.

An important place in the personal life of Bill Kaulitz is occupied by charitable activities - together with Tom they took part in the campaign "Get the wild animals out of the circus!", As well as against the extermination of homeless animals. As for his affairs on the love front, last year there was news about his relationship with Nikki Ramsay, the daughter of a famous chef and TV presenter. But how true this news is is unknown, and Nikki herself says that they have maintained a good relationship, although they broke up.
It is difficult to find a person who has never heard of the legendary "Tokio Hotel". The compositions of this group became world hits, and the leader of the group - Bill Kaulitz - is a real idol of the youth. Tokio Hotel soloist and lyricist Bill Kaulitz fell in love with the public not only for his unique stage image, but also for the fact that in his songs he was not afraid to raise acute social issues that are not customary to talk about in modern society. Now the popularity of the group is, of course, not the same as before. However, devoted fans of the group are still interested in the personal life of Bill Kaulitz, especially after the news about the wedding of his brother Tom Kaulitz and Heidi Klum.
Childhood and youth
The musician was born in September 1989 in Leipzig, Saxony. The head of the family, Jörg Kaulitz, was a truck driver, and Simon's mother was a seamstress. After the divorce of his parents, Bill moved to the suburbs of Magdeburg with his twin brother Tom, mother and stepfather.
Kaulitz from childhood had a fine mental organization. His peculiar vision of the world was reflected not only in the lyrics, but also in appearance: dyed black hair, styling, piercings distinguished Bill from the crowd of peers. For this, the guy got it from classmates more than once. Tumakov also received Tom, who could not stand aside and calmly watch his brother being beaten.
In 2001, the Kaulitz formed the Devilish band. Despite the dismissive attitude of others, they believed in themselves and every weekend, together with bass guitarist Georg Listing and drummer Gustav Schaefer, they gathered in the garage for rehearsals.
2 years later, Bill participated in the Star Search talent show and performed the cult song of The Weather Girls group “It’s Raining Men” there. The outrageous boy's vocals made an impression on producer Peter Hoffman, who took up the promotion of the team. The guys changed their name to Tokio Hotel. The reference to the Land of the Rising Sun is not accidental: Kaulitz came up with the stage image under the influence of the visual kei Japanese subculture popular in the mid-2000s.
Gaining world fame
Deafening fame fell upon the young guys from Germany. By the end of 2006, about half a million discs were sold, almost 200 thousand tickets for concerts in various European cities were sold, and the group appeared on the covers of German magazines more than 10 times! And also the second studio album Schrei was released - so laut du kannst (Scream - as loud as you can), supplemented by several new compositions. It outsold the Rolling Stones compilation, which was released at the same time.
The first concert, which took place outside of Germany, was held in Moscow with amazing success. This made it clear that the group was in high demand. In the spring of 2007, the Zimmer 483 tour began, with sold-out concerts in 20 European cities. The musicians also came to the Muz TV award ceremony in Moscow, and later performed in St. Petersburg.
In early June 2007, the English-language album Scream was released, which allowed Tokio Hotel to begin conquering England, Italy, Spain and America. In the fall, the group went on tour. The final concert was held on November 4 in the German city of Essen. After the end of the tour, the band was forced to take a break from concert and musical activities and cancel several performances, because Bill fell ill with laryngitis and could not sing. Fortunately, at the end of March 2008, the soloist underwent an operation on the vocal cords, which allowed him to resume conquering musical heights.
In October 2009, the fourth studio album Humanoid was released, which was quite noticeably different from the previous ones, as the musicians added more electronics to the songs. The album's lead singles were:
- automatic.
- World behind my wall.
- Darkside of the Sun.
The work was accepted by fans ambiguously, but in general it had a good success. Having presented this album, in the spring of 2010 Tokio Hotel went to Asia, where they gave concerts in Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan. In December of the same year, the group visited Tokyo - the capital of Japan - in the role of world stars, which everyone knew about.
After the release of four records, which had a resounding success around the world, and several sold-out tours, German artists decided to take a break from active public activities and devote time to rest. Bill and Tom flew off to their mansion in Los Angeles, where they relaxed and rejuvenated, spending a lot of time with their dogs and working on new material.
However, already in the fall of 2012, the brothers returned to work, having flown to Germany. They were invited as judges for the German television project DSDS (Germany is looking for a superstar).
In October 2014, Tokio Hotel returned, blowing up the music world with their new album Kings of Suburbia. The audience accepted the musical component of the disc well, but the video for the main song Feel It All caused a lot of negative emotions. Some shows on the tour, which was supposed to support the release of the disc, were on the verge of being cancelled. The reason was the whole groups of people who united, who called the behavior of Bill, who played a drug addict in the video, inappropriate.
Resentment escalated among the teens' parents as they feared the clip would have the wrong impact. However, director Mattias Erik Jonsson quickly resolved the conflict and explained that the work, which was created solely under the influence of the cult films "Requiem for a Dream" and "We are children from Zoo Station", does not carry a propagandistic purpose. This allowed the band to finish the tour in peace, having successfully played concerts in Europe, Asia, Russia, the USA and Latin America.
In 2016, Bill Kaulitz, taking the pseudonym Billy (Bii), presented a solo album called I'm Not OK, consisting of 15 author's songs. The disc was released in a limited edition, so especially fast fans who managed to pre-order on the official website, along with the disc received a colorful book with photographs of the artist taken by professional photographers. Also, a video was shot for the album's lead single "Love Don't Break Me", which collected almost two million views.
In March 2017, the fifth and currently the last studio album of the German band was released, which was called "Dream Machine". The songs combined some of the features of early music and electronic elements of the last two albums. This work included two singles:
- something new.
- What If.
Bill's personal life and interesting facts
The constant change of image, defiant unisex costumes, unusual hairstyles and bright “non-male” makeup, scandalous behavior on stage - all this causes indignation on the one hand of the “virtuous” audience, and at the same time warms up the love of the fans. For example, at the first concert in Moscow, Bill was so "dispersed" that he began to depict obscene harassment of his brother right on the stage. This, and not only, gave rise to rumors about the "wrong" relationship of the twins, and too little information was leaked to the press about Tom and Bill's novels with women.

Recently (probably because he has matured) Bill has changed his "sweet" image to a more masculine one. Not all fans took it positively: “He was such a cutie 5-6 years ago, what did he do to himself?”
Not only a suspicious orientation and outrageous creativity cause a stir around the leader of "Tokio Hotel". Now he declares that he has become a staunch vegetarian, then suddenly he shares his favorite recipes for chicken pizza and milkshake on the Internet. The brothers are provocative in public, but do not like to give interviews at home.
But the brothers always treat animals equally reverently: according to them, in their childhood they fed stray dogs and looked after them.

Their adoptive father, Gordon Trumper, had to delete his YouTube account twice due to indiscreet questions and insults.
Musician Orientation
Expressive facial features, long hair, dreadlocks, makeup, as well as outrageous outfits and heels, the artist left in the past for a long time, having dyed his hair blonde and making his image much more masculine. Now Bill Kaulitz appears in public without makeup, but the debate about his orientation has not stopped so far. Fans confirm their guesses about Bill's unconventional orientation with a variety of situations.
In his songs, the singer never limits love to any gender boundaries. In addition, the older Kaulitz often flirted and even kissed his younger brother on stage before, which gave rise to many rumors about the nature of the relationship between the brothers. Another famous singer, Adam Lambert, also played his role. In his interviews, he often said that he admired the appearance, character and personality of Bill and would very much like to get to know him personally. However, Adam immediately denied the possibility of a relationship between them, arguing that he had heard about the traditional orientation of Kaulitz.
Bill and his girls
The artist carefully hides his personal life, since he believes that any relationship concerns only two people.
A few years ago, there were rumors about Bill's romance with Nikki Ramsay, the daughter of the famous British TV presenter Gordon Ramsay. The singer never commented on this, although Bill was seen a couple of times with a girl. But Ramsay herself claimed that the rumors were true, and they really had a relationship, which, however, quickly ended. Ramsay was frightened by indecent comments and threats from Bill's fans towards her, so the couple broke up.
Somewhat later, Bill and his brother were jury members on the German TV show DSDS. Many noticed that one of the participants - 17-year-old Laura Kleinas - impressed the eldest of the brothers with her performance. The charming girl liked Kaulitz, and he tried to promote her to the final. Bill even confessed to Laura his sympathy in one of the issues, but Kleinas herself reacted indifferently to this, saying that only music connects them.
At the moment, Bill is not going to get married and does not have a permanent relationship.
Bill Kaulitz now
The brothers now live in Los Angeles. In America, there is low awareness of the group's popularity: "Tokyo Hotel" is considered a cool indie project, but here you can safely walk down the street, work in the studio. A strong bond remains between the twins, Bill and Tom see each other every day and admit that they call each other every two minutes in separation.
The frontman leads an active life: he participates in photo shoots, appears on the covers of world printed publications, and with enviable regularity becomes a guest of television and radio programs. On the YouTube channel of the group and on Instagram, Bill publishes videos of the #TokioHotelTV project, in which the everyday realities of the team members are shown without embellishment.
There are also pictures of clothes, shoes and accessories from fashion houses Rick Owens, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton and Dior.
