Gentleman (musician)
German reggae musician

Tilmann Otto (born 19 April 1974), better known by his stage name Gentleman, is a German reggae musician.
Personal life
Gentleman lives in the Neubrück area of Cologne.[1] He is the son of a Lutheran pastor and is the father of two children, named Samuel and Tamica. He is married to Tamika, a backing singer of the Far East Band, which has supported him since his first concert tour of Germany in 2002.

Gentleman happy with his ‘Superior’ yet simple lifestyle
Worlds away from his music recording career, Gentleman now owns, and lives, on a farm located in Spain.

Life on the farm also helped Gentleman, whose given name is Tilmann Otto, and his wife Tamika, escape the hectic lives they once lived in the busy and crowded German city. “Now, on my farm I have had the opportunity to live independently from the system, that is, I don’t like the idea of having to depend on certain people.

German reggae
With several international hits behind him and requests to perform in Japan, Israel, and even Surinam, German performer Gentleman is one of the nation's foremost reggae artists. He's also grown roots of respect in the genre's cradle, Jamaica, a place he calls his second home. Born Tillman Otto, he sings in fluent Patois.
In April, Gentleman released his fifth studio album, which shot to Number One. Its title, "Diversity," befits not only the variety of songs on it as Gentleman branches out musically, but also how Germany's most Jamaican-at-heart musician views the genre of reggae as a whole. Deutsche Welle caught up with the award-winning artist who divides his time between family life in Cologne and his Caribbean island of choice.
