about
Tokio Hotel is a German pop rock band formed in 2001 by singer Bill Kaulitz, guitarist Tom Kaulitz, bassist Georg Listing, and drummer Gustav Schäfer. The band's early music was primarily pop rock and alternative rock, and since 2014 they have incorporated electropop and synth-pop elements into their sound. Before adopting the name Tokio Hotel, the band recorded a demo album under the name "Devilish" and had a contract with Sony BMG Germany, which was later terminated. They released their first German-language album, "Schrei," on Universal Music Germany in 2005. "Schrei" sold over 500,000 copies worldwide and produced four top-five singles in Germany and Austria. In 2007, the band released their second German-language album, "Zimmer 483," and their first English-language album, "Scream." Combined, these albums sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide. "Zimmer 483" included three top-five singles in Germany, while "Scream" produced two singles that reached the top twenty in countries including France, Portugal, Spain, and Italy. Tokio Hotel won their first MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in September 2008, becoming the first German band to receive a VMA. They also received awards at the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America, the MTV Europe Music Awards (including Headliner in 2008, Best Group in 2009, and Best World Stage Performance in 2010), and the MTV Video Music Awards Japan in 2011. Over the course of their career, the band has sold more than 10 million records
