Five languages and every vinyl

I’m 34 and I’ve known Rammstein since I was 16, shortly after Rosenrot came out. I found them through “Ohne Dich” and right there I said: this is my band, I want to learn German. And so I did. I’ve always been good with languages — I speak five — and it always came easier with music involved: Rammstein, Eisbrecher, Megaherz and Oomph! were my biggest influence, and the genre I listen to most today.

I was at the Bogotá concert in 2010 and at the Mexico City one in 2022. I collect vinyl: I have every Rammstein record, every Lindemann one, and Till’s solo releases.

I don’t have tattoos, but I’d like one with my favourite line of theirs: “Tiefe Brunnen muss man graben, wenn man klares Wasser will” — you have to dig deep wells if you want clear water.
