Tobias Künzel

Tobias Künzel (born 26 May 1964 in Leipzig) is a German pop artist and composer, best known as one of the lead singers for the group 'Die Prinzen'.

Künzel attended the Thomasschule zu Leipzig, that time GDR, where he became a member of the Thomanerchor in 1973.

Back in his school days, Künzel and his friend Dirk Posner started the Band 'Puma' (a sort of abbreviation for PUnk MAchine), where he played drum set.

He began singing with the group Die Prinzen in 1990, though he maintains that his first love will always be drumming.

[2] In 2009 he was an alternate member on the board of GEMA[3]—Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte (The Society for Musical Performing and Mechanical Reproduction Rights), representing the composers, lyricists and publishers rights to their musical works in Germany.
