At just 13 years old, Tino Fruchtzweig from Germany is one of the youngest entrepreneurs in the drumming community. With Thai, German and Swedish roots, his multicultural background has inspired his creativity from an early age.
Tino started playing drums at the age of 4. After overcoming a life-threatening illness, he decided not to wait to follow his dreams. At 13, he founded Tino – Feel the Groove – his own music and lifestyle brand combining drumming, art and streetwear through original designs, premium drumsticks and creative products. His signature drumsticks proudly carry the motto: “Made for Drumming. Not for Sushi.”
Alongside building his brand, Tino performs as a drummer in concert bands and big bands and also enjoys performing as a dancer. Every design begins as a hand-drawn sketch before being transformed into part of his collection.
Following successful appearances at the Europe Drum Show (Germany) and the Eufonica Drum Show in Bologna (Italy), Tino continues to inspire audiences with his creativity, passion and entrepreneurial spirit. His mission is simple: inspire young people to believe in their ideas, follow their dreams and give something back by supporting young musicians and children facing serious illnesses.
Feel the Groove. Create. Inspire. Give Back.
