Tim Kamrad was born on April 10, 1997 in Wuppertal. He is a German singer-songwriter. Kamrad grew up in Langenberg, a district of Velbert, where he still lives today. His parents are from Poland. At the age of five he began guitar and his father later awakened his love of the Beatles. They sang “Twist And Shout” together and watched the “Anthology” documentaries on VHS.

Kamrad performed on stage with the school choir for the first time at the age of seven. He finished his school career in 2016 with an A-level average of 1.0 in math and English, and a mathematical average of 0.8. He abandoned his studies in industrial engineering in Dortmund in favor of his career as a musician. To support his dream, his parents took out a loan that would later pay off.
