| |
| An inventive gumbo...with the foundational elements of Earth, Wind & |
| Fire influenced soul...with hints of R&B, gospel and jazz...Lyricism |
| that is poetic and introspective...and a vocal delivery influenced by |
| Phillip Bailey, Teena Marie & Marvin Gaye................... |
| |
| |
| If you take the fire of the most emotive gospel singer, the passion of |
| the most infamous soul men, and the poetic introspection of the |
| ôseriousö singer/songwriters and put them together, the result is the |
| music and artistry of Tim Dillinger. |
| |
| Originally from St. Petersburg, Florida, Tim was reared on the sounds of |
| gospel artists such as AndraΘ Crouch, The Hawkins Family and The Clark |
| Sisters, as well as the soulful sounds of Teena Marie, Stevie Wonder and |
| Chaka Khan. |
| |
| As Tim became an avid reader, he was inspired by the masterful writings |
| of literary legends James Baldwin, Ntozake Shange and Richard Wright, |
| which influenced him in his ever-developing craft as a songwriter. |
| |
| Tim began working professionally at the age of 18, traveling and singing |
| with Grammy nominated gospel artist Beverly Crawford. That opportunity |
| brought him further work with artists such as Grammy nominated vocalist |
| Tßta Vega and Grammy Award winning Christian artist Reba Rambo. |
| |
| Tim relocated to Nashville in 2001 and transitioned out of the gospel |
| arena and into mainstream R&B. He began singing hooks for hip-hop |
| artists such as Nina Ross, Big Chopper and Kyhil, establishing a |
| reputation in the southern region. |
| |
| He formed his own multi-media company, IconÆs Pen Media LLC, and began |
| collaborating with producer Dale Babb (Juvenile, Granddaddy Souf, |
| Haystack). |
| |
| In 2004, the world was introduced to his work through his debut album, |
| Love Is On My Mind. Critically acclaimed in both the States and Europe, |
| the album spawned the single, ôCanÆt Help But Sayö, which held the #1 |
| spot on LondonÆs Jazz FM for two weeks. Tim traveled aboard to promote |
| the album and performed at numerous venues including LondonÆs infamous |
| Hippodrome, dazzling audiences with his four-octave range. |
| |
| On the States side, Tim was nominated for two Southern Entertainment |
| Awards (R&B Artist of the Year and R&B Album of the Year). He was also |
| cast in the Nashville production of Langston HughesÆ Black Nativity, |
| which brought him rave reviews. His electrifying, standing room only |
| shows in Nashville continue to generate the buzz that he is the ônext |
| big thingö. |
| |
| Tim is currently in production on his sophomore album, The Muse, which |
| reunites him with producer Dale Babb and features collaborations with |
| Frank McComb and Daryl Coley. Utilizing spoken word pieces as interludes |
| tying the songs together, Tim describes the project as ôan album that |
| explores the quest for authenticityàmy coming of age.ö The album is |
| geared for a September 2006 release. |
| |
| TimÆs unique blend of vocal mastery, poetry, and the infusion of his |
| R&B, soul, jazz and gospel influences, prove that he is an artist with a |
| vision, determined to be a part of the renaissance bringing true |
| artistry back to the forefront. |
