  • Bio

    Timmy Rivers has spent all of his years in Ormond Beach, on the East Coast of Florida, and his three loves are music, the ocean and acting. He's been raised with the sound of the ocean in his ears and the day hasn't really started until he's checked the waves. His days are not complete without playing the guitar, singing and, if all are right with the world, catching some waves. At age five he was attending a morning chapel service at his school when the music director, who is an accomplished guitarist and vocalist, took the stage and began to perform. Timmy went home and told his mom that he was going to play guitar. He wanted to get a guitar THAT DAY. She thought that it was a phase, but decided to give it a chance. They went to a local pawnshop and purchased a $25. acoustic guitar. He started guitar lessons the following week and was hooked. He pushed himself to learn every trick that he could. In 6th grade a small band was started in his school and he loved playing in the band and performing solo in the chapel services in the mornings. It was hard to get him off the stage. He enjoyed the response of the other students and didn't seem bothered when objections were raised by some of the "church ladies" that some of his renditions were a little "too enthusiastic" for their tastes. A series of events in early 2007 lead him to meet Maurice Starr, the founder of New Kids on the Block. Mr. Starr was looking for talent to start a Boy Band. Timmy's brother recorded him playing a few songs and sent a MP3 recording to Mr. Starr. He was impressed by what he heard and wanted to meet Timmy. He worked with Mr. Starr for a year learning everything he could about the music business, stage presence and what the "it factor" is, that makes one musician stand out from the rest. He worked with choreographers Tyrone "The Bone" Proctor and Carlos Munez,"C-Los." Timmy's first live performance was at Lawton Chiles Middle School in Oviedo Florida where he performed in front of 1,700 screaming teens. He was hooked. He loves to perform in front of a live audience. Maurice was a very positive influence in his life & remains a very close friend. Timmy's 1st album was recorded when he was 14 years old. The songs were co-written by Stan Lynch (Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame drummer), who also played all the drum tracks on the album. His music and style has continued to evolve and grow since that initial introduction into the business of recording. This summer he went to Sweden and recorded songs from Universal Music Publishing with Martin Hansen, Nordhansen Productions & Harry Sommerdahl, Sommerdahl Musicproduction . He savored every minute of the experience and learned so much working with two of Sweden's top music producers; it was an experience of a lifetime. Over the past year he's been privileged to work with one of the top vocal coaches in the country, Brett Manning in Nashville, Tennessee. Timmy's now recording songs that he's written and he's definitely capturing a sound that is uniquely his own. He's really digging the experience and is involved in every aspect of the recording this time with hands-on input into production and is learning everything that he can about the whole process. He's definitely learning that the key is to be true to your own sound and go with it. Timmy is just getting started and is ready and willing to do what it takes to fulfill his dreams. There are exciting opportunities ahead. He can't wait to get started. He can't wait to share them with the world. As he says, "I'm stoked".
