Tim Wheeler

Born in Detroit, Tim started writing when he was 15. He played in bands growing up and moved to Dallas in the early 80âs to start a recording studio with a buddy from college. There he developed his engineering skills and continued to hone his songwriting abilities. He married, and in the late 80âs moved his family back home to the Motor City.

Tim now lives with his wife in Northwest Ohio.

Tim writes songs as a sort of journaling. âœMy dad died when I was 18. I often say that he died while he was still stupid." (Pauses to let the listener figure out who was the stupid one.) "I never had the presence of mind to ask him what he thought about life. I missed my chance to know him. Thatâs why I write. I figure, some day my kids might change their mind, and decide that they do care what I think. If that happens, thereâll be some kind of record. They may not dance to it, but I hope theyâll catch themselves humming the tune.â

Recently he has begun to submit his music for use in venues other than his journal. âœSome of these songs flowed so quickly, that I began to feel like I was holding onto something that wasnât mineâ. A recent song, written right after 9-11, is one of these. âœLook to Youâ speaks to the choices we make when we respond to hatred and tragedy, and to the significance of the individual's response.

I don't play live. My routine: 1. I write songs. 2. I record adequate demos to portray the songs 3. Write more songs.

I'm hoping that providence will bring my tunes together with a producer, voice and band that can carry them. If you are interested in publishing, producing, recording, or performing any of my music, please contact me through my webpage.
