His passion for music was ignited after watching his dad play banjo on stage and his grandad perform with his '56 Les Paul. However, it was seeing Kiss on the cover of Metal Edge magazine when he was 15 that truly inspired him to pursue a career in music.

Karsten “Bumblebee” Hilton 

Guitar 

Karsten Hilton was born in Böblingen, West Germany, but moved to the United States with his family when he was just a year old. His parents and grandparents were influential in shaping his musical tastes, exposing him to everything from classical music and big bands to the sounds of Chet Atkins and Les Paul. However, it wasn't until he discovered rock and heavy metal in the mid-1980s that Karsten's musical journey truly began. 

Karsten's musical pursuits began at the age of 9 when he began learning the violin and acoustic guitar. Although he took an 8-year break from music, he later picked up the guitar again and never looked back. Over time, Karsten's love of music has allowed him to play in many bands in various capacities. Although guitar has been his primary instrument, he has also played bass, drums, and served as a vocalist for some bands. He also enjoys playing around on the piano in his spare time.
