Tim Yancey
With over 25 years of experience, Tim is not new to the stage. He is a professional singer, song writer, guitarist and former professional dancer. His live performances are upbeat, fun and unique. His versatility is amazing, allowing him to play and sing, anything from reggae, R&B and pop, to jazz and blues, making each performance one of a kind.
Tim's love for music started when his Father gave him his first guitar at the age of five, and he has never looked back. While Tim worked on mastering the guitar, he also began singing at a young age at Mount Zion Baptist Church in his hometown of Madison, WI. Growing up in a large family, Tim never had to go far to learn the latest dance move or song. A born performer, he started performing dance routines for his family, including costumes changes, before he even started school.
As a teen, Tim perfected the moves of Michael Jackson and performed it in front of thousands, becoming a household name throughout the Midwest. As his M.J. tour grew in popularity, his hometown responded by holding live performances throughout the Madison area including shutting down his elementary and middle school for him to perform.
Although Tim will never stop dancing, his true passion is music. He appreciates all genres of music from gospel to country, to blues and reggae, which has allowed him to create his own unique soulful blend of music. Tim writes, sings and produces all of his own music, making his live performances a one-of-a-kind experience. Tim's musical influences include Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Michael Jackson and Prince.
Along with writing, singing and producing his original music, Tim also plays the guitar, bass, drums and keyboard on all of his songs.
