In 1963, Mey graduated from the French Gymnasium in Berlin, receiving the German Abitur as well as the French Baccalauréat, and thereafter began vocational training as an industrial trader at Schering AG Berlin. In 1961, he became part of the group Les Trois Affamés, with Schobert Schulz. This led to his first recording contract. In 1965, Mey was offered the chance to perform at a Liedermacher festival at Waldeck Castle, a converted castle ruin. During his school years he gained performance experience by playing Skiffle music with friends. He taught himself how to play the trumpet.
At the age of twelve, he had his first piano lesson, and at the age of fourteen, he got his first guitar. Reinhard Mey was born on December 21, 1942, in Berlin, Germany, where he spent his childhood.
