Talent, hard work or luck - what will it take to produce up to? Tokyo hotel-producer David Jost knows it!

He is a producer, songwriter and manager of Tokyo hotel. David Jost, the band discovered from Magdeburg, built and international success. The creative Hamburger is a workaholic, his diary almost around the clock full. Nevertheless, surely the 35-year-old had the time and yam! an exclusive interview. It revealed he was a star he has to have lasting success, and why the will often counts more than talent…

What should bring a star:
DAVID: potential! It must be especially emotional potential and a very large force will bring. If talent and desire for an artist highly concentrated together, the chances are very great that it sooner or later will prevail.

Can you look at it, if only one of these two properties?
DAVID: Yes, but they must then play a particularly strong. If you only talent, but not very willenstark is, you have to halt the lucky, surrounded by people to be the one to drive success. Even the other way it can work. Someone with a rather mediocre talent, but enormous will power and intelligence, can still stand a chance of success.

Is there a good example?
DAVID: Madonna! A truly outstanding singer is she not, but very intelligent. Madonna has spread over a period of more than 20 years at the World seats. This has nothing to do with luck, no one has so long happiness. It leaves nothing to chance. Although Madonna themselves on the stage, it is one of the major Strippenziehern the music industry.

What you need to successfully and permanently?
DAVID: A very important feature, which also will power connected, the willingness to sacrifice in order to achieve his goal. For large and long-term success must almost always sacrifices. This is true not only for the music industry. One has been incredibly good luck and talent have to sacrifice without long-term to keep up.

What you recognize talent?
DAVID: That can not say so flat rate. Most of talent can be felt. I verlass mainly on me because my gut feeling.

And what did you say your gut feeling when you first seen Tokio Hotel?
DAVID: I am completely durchgedreht [laughs]. It took me totally unexpected. At the time I actually had anything to me as completely devoted to a band. But all the plans that I had before, were immediately forget the guys when I first heard and saw, Bill was 13 and me and my partners band demos presents, which they own in their small rehearsal room live Magdeburg added. After the boys then a few hours later had adopted, I have all the time only "Yes" and "Strike" screamed [grins].

Did you know that Tokyo hotel internationally so successful?
DAVID: No, of course not. I was with todsicher that the band in Germany through the ceiling. I've got to the entire music industry to bet everything. But it would have been presumptuous if I would have expected that it would waive such internationally.

What is the recipe for success Tokyo hotel?
DAVID: The music market is full of artists, where it runs only if they all say exactly what they need to do careful and to do everything right. When TH is the opposite one of the recipes for success.

How?
DAVID: When Bill something against his will would require - what would be impossible anyway - would he lose much of what it represents. Bill needs of what he does, completely convinced - to really be as good as it can be. The knew as a little boy exactly what he wants, and especially what he does not want. The people feel. In addition, he has great emotional extremes in itself. Such a front man found in Germany only every few decades. The Star potential of this band is so big. Even if I totally gehirnamputiert would have been the thing I would not go to the wall [laughs]…

Songwriter or manager - what makes you more fun?
DAVID: The song writing is of course more fun. But the manager is also a creative and varied job. I have the luck that I work for a band to which I myself believe and me every day from New kicking. If this is not so, I could not do the job.

Do you have already started Tokyo hotel, on the third album?
DAVID: With the Songwirting we have begun. Bill has just completed a creative peak and is constantly updated with new song ideas.

What is the best song you ever composed?
DAVID: The I have not written. The first comes yet [Laughter]

The photos you see here are made on 13 July in Belgium. There Tokio Hotel performed at the festival Werchter Boutique. We didn’t want to keep these from you, because it was Tokio Hotel’s last show from there European open air tour en with that also the last show they did this year in Europe.

Off course the boys won’t be twisting there thumbs the rest of 2008 either, they keep being busy. Bill and his boys are leaving in the beginning of Augustus to the United States to give live shows there the rest of the month and with that build a name for themselves in America. Because also America is becoming more and more TH-“minded”.
In May Time Square was already decorated with huge images of Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav that were hanging in the outside of the MTV-studio’s there. There single and album Scream are released there and the fans response is very enthusiastic.

Gone forever?
You can’t off course blame Tokio Hotel for trying to break through in the States; that’s the biggest dream from about any artist. But that doesn’t mean that they are gone forever now. Are you crazy! There are already plans for a new album that will be released in Germany, our little Netherlands and other parts of Europe. That will be the third Tokio Hotel album. Rumours say it will be a German record again. When it will be released isn’t clear yet, but it will probably be somewhere in 2009.

Bill has already started with writing new songs. Everywhere he goes he is writing lyrics. He prefers his laptop but if he doesn’t have it with him he quickly writes something on a coaster or saves it in his phone. Earlier this year the singer has been through some rough times, with problems with his voice and even surgery on his vocal cords. Bill is getting a lot of inspiration out of this difficult time.

Are you Tokio Hotel fan, then you will have to be patient until something new from your german heroes is released. But the good news is: they are working on it!

"Gritos histéricos. Constantes conciertos con entradas agotadas. Mejores posiciones en la tabla. TOKIO HOTEL! la banda pop Alemana ha sido premiada numerosas veces en diferentes categorías. Un aunténtico éxito! Y este solo empieza... El show de Luxemburgo: Rockhal el 7 MAR 2008 (para las entradas: rockhal.lu)".
La entrevista de Oliver Tanson:

Tom: Hola, aquí está Tom!
Georg: soy Georg.
Bill: y yo Bill!
Todos: y nosotros somos...Tokio Hotel!
Bill: muchos fans nos han escrito diciéndonos que algunas de nuestras canciones les ayudan en determinadas situaciones, y al tratar con ellas después se sienten mejor. Lo sé por mí mismo, y creo que cada uno de nosotros escucha mucha música por el momento y esa música puede ayudar y apoyar bastante en determinadas situaciones, y nosotros por supuesto también deseamos. Y nos hace felices saber que cuando hacemos canciones esa gente se siente mejor y se comprende.No pienso mucho en "indiscriminacion". Creo q es mejor para la gente que se encuentren ellos mismos como pasó con nosotros, y esa gente que se encuentra a sí mismo tendría una óptima oportunidad. Pero sí, realmente no soy de ese tipo.
Tom: es bueno que si tienes una banda y conoces a cada uno durante mucho tiempo, es bueno tener a otro que te ayude y te sostenga para que no vayas caminando por la vida en una burbuja rosa y que te mantenga con los pies en el suelo.

Oliver Tanson. Alcanzando las estrellas...
