Tokio Hotel 2025

Georg Listing was born on March 31, 1987, in Halle, East Germany. He has been the bassist of Tokio Hotel since the beginning.
It all started when I was a kid. At the age of 8 he began to play piano and at 13 he switched to bass. At the age of 10 he entered the same music school as Gustav Schäfer and there they became friends. In 2001, at the age of 14, he joined "Devilish", the first band that Bill and Tom Kaulitz had. They played rock covers in bars in Magdeburg. In 2003, at the age of 16, they were discovered by producer Peter Hoffmann and signed with Universal. There they changed the name to Tokio Hotel.
In 2005, at the age of 18, they exploded with Durch den Monsun and the album Schrei. Georg was the oldest of the 4 and the most serious. While Bill and Tom carried all the attention, he and Gustav held the base of the band. With Zimmer 313 and Humanoid between 2007 and 2010 they toured the world. In 2010 they moved to Los Angeles due to harassment issues and there the band became independent. Since then they released albums such as Kings of Suburbia, Dream Machine and 2001, where Georg put more synthesizers, keyboards and production in addition to the bass. Today, at 38 years old, he is still active with Tokio Hotel.
Physically he is 1.85 m tall. He is tall, slim and the most "elegant" of the 4. She has brown blonde hair, usually short and neat. Light eyes and thin face. Their style is the most classic: shirts, jackets, skinny jeans, boots. He has almost no tattoos and uses few accessories. He was always seen as the most formal and the one who dresses best for events.
In personality he is the calmest, most rational and diplomatic of the group. He speaks little but when he does it is direct and meaningful. His humor is dry and subtle. He is the "responsible adult" of Tokio Hotel: organized, punctual and the one who thinks about business and logistics. He does not like scandal or exposing his private life. Outside of music he is very homely, he likes to cook, read and be quiet. He is also a fan of cars and technology.

Gustav Schäfer was born on September 8, 1988 in Magdeburg, Germany. He has been the drummer for Tokio Hotel since the band was formed.
It all started when I was a kid. When I was 6 years old I was already playing the drums. At the age of 10 he entered a music school and there he met Georg Listing. In 2001, at the age of 12-13, he joined "Devilish", the first band that Bill and Tom Kaulitz had. They played rock covers in bars in Magdeburg. In 2003, at the age of 14-15, they were discovered by producer Peter Hoffmann and signed with Universal. There they changed the name to Tokio Hotel.
In 2005, at the age of 16, they exploded with Durch den Monsun and the album Schrei. Gustav was the youngest of the 4 but the quietest. While Bill and Tom were at the front, he and Georg held the rhythmic base of the band. With Zimmer 313 and Humanoid between 2007 and 2010 they toured all over the world. In 2010 they moved to Los Angeles due to harassment issues and there the band became independent. Since then they released albums such as Kings of Suburbia, Dream Machine and 2001, where Gustav experimented with electronic drums and other sounds in addition to acoustics. Today, at 37 years old, he is still active with Tokio Hotel.
Physically he is 1.78 m tall. He is athletic and the most "normal" in aesthetics within the band. He has short brown hair, sometimes shaved, sometimes longer. Clear eyes, easy smile and the face of a good person. Her style is casual: t-shirts, jeans, caps, sneakers. He has several tattoos on his arms and back, but they are much more discreet than Tom's. He is the one who exposes his image the least.
In personality he is the quietest and most balanced of the 4. Observant, mature and down-to-earth. His humor is calm, ironic and from time to time he throws a bombshell in interviews. He is the mediator of the group: he does not like drama and prefers that everyone is well. He is super professional and punctual. Outside of music he is very familiar and loves sports, especially football and boxing. He also enjoys surfing when he is in LA.

With Zimmer 313 and Humanoid between 2007 and 2010 they became a worldwide phenomenon: tours, awards, millions of albums and fans on all continents. In 2010 they moved to Los Angeles due to harassment issues and there Bill focused more on his aesthetics, fashion and reinventing the sound of the band.
