Tilo Wolff (born 10 July 1972 in Frankfurt am Main) is a German musician currently living in Switzerland.
His longest-running project is the band Lacrimosa, which since its debut in 1990 has produced 9 albums, which embrace a diverse range of gothic, darkwave and orchestral musical styles. Wolff composes, arranges and writes the lyrics for almost all of Lacrimosa's songs, as well as singing, playing piano and contributing to the design of the albums' sleeve art.
In the year of Lacrimosa's founding he also founded the record label Hall of Sermon to finance Lacrimosa without being dependent on outside record companies. Hall of Sermon now has eight darkwave bands other than Lacrimosa on its books, including Dreams of Sanity and Girls Under Glass.
In 2004 Wolff founded Snakeskin, another band, which diverts significantly from Lacrimosa's music.[1][2]
Tilo Wolff was also the manager of the German band Cinema Bizarre.[3] [4][5]
As well as this, he also DJs, playing festivals and clubs across Europe.[6]
