Living a Fresh Beat in Hamburg: Thomas D of Die Fantastischen Vier's New Adventure
His fresh start in Hamburg - Experience Transformed: Life in Hamburg Redefined
Thomas D, the 56-year-old musician of the iconic hip-hop group Die Fantastischen Vier, has swapped serenity for the hustle and bustle. Leaving behind his peaceful abode in the Eifel region, he's now calling Germany's second-largest city - Hamburg - his new home. And, it seems he's embracing his urban lifestyle wholeheartedly, as he shared on the "NDR Talk Show" on June 6th.
"Hamburg - A Gem Among Cities"
"The Hamburgers are truly remarkable," he enthused about his new home on the NDR TV talk show. "They're a bit reserved but incredibly friendly." He waxes lyrical about Hamburg, praising its green spaces and picturesque waterfront. However, the move wasn't without its challenges. "I spent 25 years in the Eifel, referring to it as a 'beautiful nowhere.' I was content there. I still visit occasionally, as I have a music studio there."
But Hamburg calls, and he's answered. "I'm the country bumpkin in my family. My wife and even my children didn't want to stay in the countryside. So, I moved to the city, to what I believe is the most beautiful city in the world." Bandmate Smudo, who's resided in Hamburg since 1996, might prove a handy guide for his urban acclimation.
Thomas D expressed his affection for Hamburg as early as April, singing its praises on the "Das!" NDR show. The city folks, far from being cold as often presumed, are warm-hearted, helpful, and stylish.
Die Fantastischen Vier: Celebrating 35 Years and Counting
Since 1989, the band has been known as Die Fantastischen Vier and achieved fame with their 1992 smash hit "Die Da!?!" They celebrated their 35th anniversary on July 7, 2024, and their latest studio album, "Long Player," dropped in October, after five years of hard work.
