Surely, many remember the popular group Tokio Hotel, which captured almost the whole world about ten years ago. The team, consisting of young guys, performing catchy pop-rock hits, attracted the band leader Bill Kaulitz with his message, youth and, of course, extravagant way.
In 2010, the team took a timeout and for several years "rested" from the bulk of popularity, working in parallel on a new sound. The end of 2014 pleased the fans with a new long-awaited work - the album "Kings of Suburbia", which demonstrated a new vector of the group's development. This time the album was performed in the genre of electronic dance music (EDM), which caused an ambiguous assessment of the fans, but was also able to attract a new audience to the group. Bill Kaulitz, the lead singer of the group, also greatly changed his image and stage behavior. What happened in his life over the past time?
Bill Kaulitz: biography
Bill was born on September 1, 1989 in Leipzig ten minutes after the birth of his twin brother Tom. Later, the family moved to the small village of Loitsche. From childhood, the twin brothers Bill and Tom made music and were different from their peers. Bill always preferred to be unlike peers, not paying attention to bullying and gossip. As he later admitted, it was precisely the same experience that he experienced in childhood that tempered him and helped him to go through further trials by criticizing the public and adhering to the development vector he himself chose.
Bill Kaulitz passed the test of fame at a young age. Everything changed quite dramatically: producer Peter Hoffman once noticed talented guys, who played a significant role in the further promotion of the team. In a short time, the whole of Germany learned about the group.
Tokio Hotel Success Story
The year 2001 was marked by the appearance of the Devilish group, which a little later changed its name to Tokio Hotel. Since then, the composition of the group has remained unchanged, the group experienced a real storm of popularity, which did not subside until 2009. The recognizable style of the soloist generated a huge number of rumors and disputes about his sexual orientation. This was partly what caused the audience to be interested in the group: the young age of the participants, together with their talent and skill, as well as the non-trivial appearance of the leader did not leave them a chance to go unnoticed. At the moment, Bill continues to experiment with his appearance, although his style has become much more courageous than in the early years of creativity.
The evolution of the soloist style of Tokio Hotel
Starting from a young age, Bill Kaulitz, whose photos were posted in all popular teenage magazines, was not afraid to change his appearance depending on his own desire. For a long time, black hair was his calling card: in his youth, he preferred short hair with long bangs laid to one side, then he grew long hair and put it in spectacular “explosive” hairstyles. A dramatic change in image occurred in 2011. It was then that the soloist dyed his hair for the first time in a light shade, and until today his style remains the same: short platinum blond hair. At the beginning of his career, Bill Kaulitz preferred to complement his image with makeup, but now he practically does not use makeup on stage and when going out.
