Some informations about the guitarist Tom Kaulitz smile

Tom Kaulitz (born in Leipzig, Germany, on September 1, 1989) is the guitarist of the German band Tokio Hotel. He was born ten minutes before his twin brother, Bill Kaulitz. He is also a few centimeters shorter than his brother (182 cm tall).

Childhood

He and twin brother Bill Kaulitz were born to Simone and Jörg Kaulitz (now divorced, though their mother remarried). Their stepfather (Gordon Trümper) had a big influence on the twins with his music, as he was a guitarist in a band. His twin brother, Bill, is the vocalist in Tokio Hotel and was born 10 minutes after him.

In kindergarten, the Kaulitz twins had shirts with their names on them so people could tell them apart. Over the years they have started to look slightly different, though. He and Bill would often pull pranks on the teachers, and when they were in seventh grade, they were separated.

Career

Tom has been playing the guitar since the age of seven. He performed alongside his twin, Bill, in numeroase shows. In 2001, the twins later met Georg and Gustav. They had similar tastes in music and formed a band together called 'Devilish.' After playing small shows in bars and clubs, the group was approached by music producer Peter Hoffmann in 2003 and were soon after signed with Universal Music Domestic Division in Hamburg. They were then known as 'Tokio Hotel.' They released their debut album, "Schrei" in 2005 (later re-releasing it in 2006). The album sold quickly and Tokio Hotel became popular all over Europe.

Tom also acted in the german TV- film "Verrückt nach dir" with his twin brother bill at the age of 6 (1995).

Style

Where his twin brother, Bill, has a more androgynous rocker look, Tom went for the rapper style. His look often consists of very baggy jeans, baggy shirts and jerseys, New Eras Hats, Baseball caps or "Gangsta" hats, headbands, and dreadlocks he's had since he began performing. Tom also has different taste in music from Bill.

Personal Life

The Kaulitz twins have kept a majority of their personal life out of the tabloids. Tom has admitted that he's single and is also the playboy of the group. He claims he doesn't have time for girlfriends. However, he has been seen in many photos messing around with all types of girls.
