Gentleman lives in the Neubrück area of
Cologne. He is the son of a
Lutheran pastor and is the father of two children named Samuel and Charly. He is married to Tamika, a singer which has supported him since his first concert tour of Germany in 2002. Although regularly on tour and in the studio, Gentleman generally considers himself a rather family oriented person, which becomes apparent in his music projects such as his long-player
Journey to Jah, which was inspired by the birth of his first son Samuel. His song
Mama from the collaborative album
Conversations that he recorded with
Ky-Mani Marley deals with his deep spiritual relationship to his mother. == Music ==
