Tokio Hotel is a German rock band. The quartet has scored four number one singles, two number one albums and claim to have sold nearly 3 million CDs and DVDs in their homeland. So far they have had much chart success in Germany and Austria. They also had some chart success in France, Italy, Israel, Denmark, Greece and Switzerland. but have had little success in English speaking countries despite releasing an English language versions of Scream and Ready, Set, Go! in the UK.
Originally formed in 2001 under the name Devilish, the band began playing in talent shows and small concerts. After Bill Kaulitz's participation in a children's Star Search in 2003 (which he lost in the quarter-final), he was discovered by music producer Peter Hoffmann. Devilish changed their name to Tokio Hotel ("Tokio", the German language spelling of the city Tokyo, Japan, which they love, and "Hotel", due to their constant touring and sleeping in hotels), and Sony BMG took them under contract. Hoffmann hired David Jost and Pat Benzner into the team of creators and authors, and had them give the children instruction on songwriting and instrument playing. However, shortly before publication of the first album, Sony terminated their contract. In 2005, Universal Music Group took Tokio Hotel under contract and developed a marketing plan. Several DJ's such as Basement Jaxx, Melodik Pinpon, Bob Sinclar and Givichy Universal have remixed Tokio Hotel songs.
