Till Lindemann is a German artist best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of Rammstein. His unique voice and stage performances have made him one of the most iconic frontmen from the metal scene. Till also appeared in minor roles in films and published books of poetry, starting with Messer in 2002.
Till was born on 4 January 1963 in Leipzig. He is the son of poet Werner Lindemann and journalist Brigitte Hildegard "Gitta" Lindemann. He has a younger sister, Saskia. In 1978, he participated in the European Junior Swimming Championships in Florence. He was even shortlisted to go to the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, but left the sport due to an injury. Later, he worked as an apprentice carpenter, a gallery technician, a peat cutter, and a basket weaver.
Lindemann's musical carreer started when he played drums for Schwerin-based experimental rock band First Arsch in 1986. They released one album titled Saddle Up in 1992, with Paul Landers and Richard Z. Krupse as guitarists. In 1994, he joined Rammstein as vocalist and lyricist. The band won a contest in Berlin that allowed them to record a four-track demo professionally. This is the beginning of a long and successful career. In 2013, Till forms the duo Lindemann with Peter Tägtgrenn.
Lindemann has two daughters: Nele, born in 1985, and Marie Louise, born in 1993.
