A Deeper Dive:
Timothy grew up in Arlington, Texas where he began his musical journey at age 11 with guitar, learning Rock and Metal music ranging from Green Day and Songs from Guitar Hero 3 to guitar legends like Randy Rhodes and Michael Angelo Batio. At age 13 he began learning marching and concert percussion, and continued studying Percussion and Guitar throughout middle and high school. During his time in high school, Timothy attended a master class by percussionist/composer Ney Rosauro who's music and story served as the inspiration that began Timothy's journey as a music composer.
In 2014, Timothy graduated from James Martin high school and began his undergraduate studies at the University of Texas at Arlington. He continued learning marching and concert percussion in his 1st year and spent the remaining 3 years of his studies at UTA with Piano as his instrument of study. It was during this time that Timothy also shifted his focus in his guitar studies to Jazz guitar and classical guitar works of Toru Takemitsu (a world renown film and concert music composer).
After graduating from UTA with a Bachelors Degree in Music with an emphasis in Composition, from 2018-2019, Timothy earned a Masters Degree from the Seattle Film Institute in “Film Composition” aka Music Composition for Film and Media. This Program is also known as the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring program that was created and is intimately led by Two-Time Emmy Award Winning composer Hummie Mann.
After graduating with his master's in 2019, Timothy moved back to Dallas, Texas to take care of some serious medical issues, and has been to this day continuing his studies (during the free time he has) of new guitar virtuosos like Ichika Nito and Manuel Gardner Fernandes by transcribing and playing their works, and Timothy hopes to bring the unique and emotive timbre of solo guitar to future projects he works on.
