Early life and his career

Schlönvoigt with his then-girlfriend Sıla Şahin (2010)

Schlönvoigt was born in Köpenick, East Berlin.[2][3] When Schlönvoigt was eleven years old, he began to write his own lyrics and started rapping. At 16, he formed a punk rock band called Cherry Poppers with his half-brother. The band won the german Radio Fritz! contest. After he had achieved the "Mittlere Reife", Jörn Schlönvoigt began his apprenticeship as a wholesale and foreign trade merchant. He never ended this apprenticeship, due to appearing in the german soap opera "Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten" (Good times, Bad times). He also worked as an extra in different series "Schloss Einstein" (castle Einstein in episode 325 and 326) and "Alphateam – Die Lebensretter im OP" (Alphateam – the lifesavers in the operating theatre). Later, Schlönvoigt modeled for different prospects.

On 7 September 2007, Schlönvoigt released his debut single "Das Gegenteil von Liebe" ("The Opposite of Love"), which became successful in Germany. Later that November, he released a second single. On 25 January 2008, Schlönvoigt released his third single, "Ein Leben lang" ("A Lifetime"), which was also the image song of the german network RTL. His first album was released on 28 September 2007.

In 2008, Schlönvoigt starred in Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten, where his character was paired with the role of Lucy Cöster (Sarah Tkotsch). In April 2009, their management announced that Tkotsch and Schlönvoigt had become a couple in real life.[4]

Jörn Schlönvoigt and Sarah Tkotsch separated in 2010.[5] Jörn began dating Sıla Şahin in 2011.[6] However, the couple separated in February 2013.[7][8]
