Born June 10, 1974 in New Haven, CT, Timo (Timothy) Arthur grew up in the nearby town of Milford. Hailing from a musical family, he got his first guitar at age eight. His father showed him the basics and before long, he was perfoming at school shows.
Timo spent his teens giving solo acoustic performances of his original music on guitar and piano at every opportunity. He also played with a handful of bands, taking on duties from playing electric guitar and bass to singing and songwriting. His song "I Cry Again" won him a creative writing award in high school. At age nineteen, he made his first studio recording consisting of four pop songs he had written. He played all instruments himself. A year later, he moved to his father's native Barbados where within four days of his arrival, he was chosen as lead guitarist for one of the island's top-billed soca bands. Though never having played in this style before, Timo adapted quickly, proving his versatility and natural musicianship. With this band, Timo played venues ranging from the island's most popular clubs to packed stadiums. After several months, he left Barbados to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA.
After his arrival in Boston in 1996, Timo became a regular on the New England blues scene. In addition to fronting his own band from time to time, Timo often worked as a sideman, quickly gaining notoriety as an impressive guitarist and vocalist, sharing stages and recording studios with a number of local, regional, and national acts, as well as performing in genres outside of the blues box.
Now living in San Francisco, CA, Timo plans to focus his efforts on songwriting and perform primarily as a singer/songwriter. He continues to impress audiences with his strong songwriting skills, humble confidence, and his witty and warm stage persona. His strong ambition and obvious talent give Timo an undying love of his craft, as well as an insatiable desire to succeed at it. As evidence of his drive to succeed, Timo is currently taking voice lessons with a widely acclaimed voice teacher who has helped develop Grammy winning artists.
