Thomas D. (born Thomas Dürr, December 30 1968 in Ditzingen close to Stuttgart, Germany) is a rapper in the German hip hop group Die Fantastischen Vier. He frequently works on solo projects.

Life

After finishing Realschule he took on an apprenticeship as a barber. Because he frequently worked as a caretaker (German: Hausmeister), he gave himself the stage name "Hausmeister Thomas D."

He has been living vegan for several years and supports the animal rights organization PETA. In 2003, he was criticized for his radical approval of their exhibition "Holocaust on Your Plate", which compared keeping animals in mass stocks to the crimes of holocaust.

Thomas D. is married, has one daughter and a son.

Work

Thomas D. is a member of Die Fantastischen Vier, but was also successful with his solo albums "Solo" (1997) "Lektionen in Demut" (2001) and "Kennzeichen D" (2008). Singles released from these albums include "Rückenwind", "Frisör", "Liebesbrief", and "Solo" (featuring Nina Hagen). Outside Germany, he is probably best known for "Wish (Komm zu mir)" which he performed with Franka Potente on the soundtrack of the movie Run Lola Run. He is mainly know for his poetic lyrics that stretch over each of his verses. Sometimes it sounds as if he says a whole verse without taking a breath.

He was also singer and songwriter of the band Son Goku, who entered the German charts with "Alle für Jeden" (album: "Crashkurs") in 2002.
