Tom Kaulitz
Tom Kaulitz was born September 1, 1989 in Leipzig, Germany. Older
than his identical twin brother Bill by 10 minutes, Tom often makes
jokes about being the “older” brother.
Tom has played guitar since he was seven years old. His guitarist
stepfather introduced him to the instrument and Tom had an immediate and
enthusiastic interest in continuing. Now he favors the Gibson line of
guitars. Tokio Hotel was featured on the Gibson site
in 2008. As of 2009, Tom has added keyboard to his repetoire and it is
rumored he will be playing piano during the upcoming Humanoid Tour.
Since July 1, 2009, Tom has been blogging at the Tokio Hotel site and
his entries show a keen mind with a wicked sense of humor and an eye
for design, color and the unusual. And a big love of cars. ;) Check out
his blog here!
Tom quotes:
Question: When was the last time you said “I love you” to someone?
“I don’t think I ever said it yet.. wait, I have said it once: When I held my Gibson guitar for the first time… Je t’aime, Gibson.”
Question: When was the last time you said “I love you” to someone?

“You know, every album, all of our songs are part of us and all the
albums have a certain sound and I think Humanoid is the one with the
most power so far. I mean, we didn’t plan that in advance, it just
happened. And “World Behind My Wall” is a very intimate song that
describes part of our lives.
“We always say: Try being yourself and don’t let anybody tell you what to do or to wear.”
