Knollmann grew up with two siblings in Ibbenbüren. After graduating from the Johannes Kepler high school, he began at the Westphalian Wilhelms University , a teaching degree for English . Due to the success of his band Donots, he gave up his studies in 1998 and devoted himself exclusively to music. Knollmann is also active as a comic artist.
