{{R from person}} |

|date=(March 2011)|publisher=[[Tokio Hotel]]|accessdate=2011-3-29}}</ref>, (born 1 September 1989 in [[Leipzig]], [[Germany]]), two months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, is a German musician, currently [[Guitarist|guitarist]]-[[Composer|composer]]-[[Pianist|pianist]] of the band [[Tokio Hotel]]. He is the twin brother of [[Bill Kaulitz]], [[Singer-songwriter|singer-songwriter]] of the group. |
|||
==Biography== |
|||
At the age of 6 years, [[Tom Kaulitz]] received his first guitar from his stepfather. He had to save for 4 years to buy his own guitar. He began to play seriously at age 7. He was encouraged by his brother and his stepfather, who himself played in a [[rock band]]. |
|||
Between ages 9 and 12, Tom and his brother Bill adopted a look and appearance that was considered rebellious.{{Citation needed|date=May 2011}} Tom first got [[dreadlocks]] at age 11.{{Citation needed|date=May 2011}} At the age of 10, Bill created the song "Leb die Sekunde" ("Live the Second") that appeared on the first album ''[[Schrei]]'' in 2007, and is still on the setlist of the band's shows. |
|||
In 2001, Tom and Bill met Gustav Schäfer and Georg Listing. They became the [[drummer]] and [[bassist]] of the group. Together they formed the band Devilish which was renamed in 2005 to [[Tokio Hotel]], and the band signed a contract with record label [[Universal Music Group|Universal Music]]. |
|||
From late 2008 until August 2009 Tom drew back from public life to concentrate on producing a new album. He worked on the composition of music around texts written by his brother [[Bill Kaulitz]]. He continued this work in 2009 with a team of four German producers usual, including [[David Jost]], their manager. They will collaborate with [[The Matrix]] for four songs and Guy Chambers for two reasons. The Matrix is the trio of U.S. producers (including [[Lauren Christy]]), who produced albums for [[Avril Lavigne]], [[Christina Aguilera]] and [[Korn]]. Guy Chambers is a British producer, known for his long partnership with [[Robbie Williams]]. Of the 25 songs originally selected, 16 will be selected for the [[Humanoid (album)|Humanoid]] album, of which 14 will be produced in English and German. Tom is also on the piano during the break. It is a duet with his brother ([[Voice|voice]] and [[piano]]) on the song of the album Zoom Humanoid. (Zoom into me for the English version). The twins Bill Kaulitz and Tom Kaulitz are co-producers of the album Humanoid. Tom reappear late August 2009 with the band [[Tokio Hotel]], [[Cologne]] [[Germany]], where they will give a private concert during which they sing their first single from the album ([[Automatisch]] in German and English Automatic), which will be released until sometime in September 2009. |
|||
[[Humanoid (album)|Humanoid]] The album was released in early October 2009 around the world in two versions (English and German). Their European tour Welcome to humanoid city tour followed, 22 February 2010 to April 14, 2010. |
|||
==Style== |
|||
Tom is the guitarist but also a composer. He is also principal choruses in "Wo sind eure Hände" song of the 2nd album [[Zimmer 483]]. He is also the songwriter of the song "[[Schwarz]]" the band's first album [[Schrei]]. This song is about a world scale, "behind us everything is black, for the darkness". The adventure he supposedly had with a fan would have inspired the song "Reden" the second album Zimmer 483. These are the words of Tom himself. However, Tom treats interviews as a joke, and often comes back with sarcastic, but humourous answers. He remains serious about his passion for music and the band [[Tokio Hotel]]. |
|||
Tom Kaulitz has a piercing in the left lower lip, as well as [[spacers|Stretchers]] in both ears. He is recognisable due to his dreadlocks and his [[Hip hop|hip-hop]] style (his characteristic baggy shirts and XXL jeans). Tom is very different from his twin brother Bill, whose style is rather dark. But since mid-2009, he has dyed his hair black and had it styled in braids. |
|||
Tom has evolved as a [[Guitarist|guitarist]] and [[Composer|composer]] in a [[German rock]] band, yet has musical tastes very different to the genre he plays. His favorite artists are [[Samy Deluxe]] (German [[Rapper|rapper]]) {{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} and [[Snoop Dogg]]. His musical tastes are very different from those of his brother. But he likes [[Rock bands|rock bands]] like Coldplay, Foo Fighters and Oasis. Aerosmith is still an influence for him. His favorite song is [[Let's Go|Let's Go]] by [[Samy Deluxe]]. |
