Tim Arnold started writing songs at the age of 9, under the influence of a jazz singing mother and an older brother’s eclectic record collection.  He spent most of his childhood and early teens living in a camper van with his mother while she toured Europe performing cabaret.  At the age of 15, he returned to England alone to enroll at the Rudolf Steiner School where the rather unorthodox education that specialised in arts became an inspiring platform that would help to harness his talents.  At 17, with his classmate Jack Reynolds, he formed his first band ‘Jocasta’ that went on to become one of the many promising Britpop bands of the 90’s.  Signing a worldwide deal with Sony, they released their debut album ’No Coincidence’ in 1997.  The tracks ‘Go’ and ‘Change Me’ both became singles of the week on BBC Radio 1.  After working as a composer at Shakespeare’s Globe in 1999, he signed to Universal Music Publishing and went on to record his debut solo album ‘Lokutara’ in Thailand, which was released in 2016.  Two years later in 2006, he released his second album ‘En Route’, shortly followed by his third album ‘Secrets of Soho’. 

Sean Devine (ASCAP) writes: “My first encounter of Tim was in Denmark Street, more years ago than I care to remember, he was a teenager, had blue hair and songs about gutsy, dirty love and real life. He wasn’t afraid of standing squarely in the face of difficult subject and with skill and dexterity, turned it into a powerful song.  His current work stands testament to this”.

Tim is currently working on his fourth album. He is based in Central London.
