Rasmus Borowski (born May 21, 1974) is a German composer, singer, and actor.
Rasmus Borowski was born in Hamburg in 1974. His parents, recording engineer Richard Borowski and singer Gabi Borowski, often took him to the cinema, where Rasmus discovered his passion for films and music.

Around this time, he also started making his first short films with his father's Super 8mm film camera.
