Band Members: Tim AndersonTim Anderson is as raw an MC as any. He has been doing his thing since his early teens and continues to bring raw lyrics and hype any one man can bring. He doesn't need a beat to get a crowd hyped and you can bet on that. His freestyles are on the same level as his writtens so you never know whether he is going off of the top or delivering a rehearsed sets. He is born out of talent shows and open mics.
Originally from Middletown Rhode Island he spent most of his early life away from home at different summer camps through out the state of Rhode Island. It was here where he was introduced to music at a young age, not really knowing the effect it would have later on in his life. "I remember sitting by camp fires on real late nights listening to people play acoustic sets, or guys from Brooklyn doing beatbox sets."
Since then Tim Anderson has honed his craft both musically and lyrically to create a full package. He has been on stage in places from Providence, Rhode Island to Brooklyn, New York. Has opened for the likes of J. Ivy of Def Poetry Slam to Exile and Lokey. He is a true performer whose the type to join a cypher on the spot or to hop on stage for a 40 minute set.
He just completed his first full length LP "50 Minutes of Music" which he produced, wrote the lyrics and engineered himself. On the album includes some friends Ian Lindsay of the band NowAdays, DJ Andis, and female vocalist Kristin Merlin. Keep a look out for this diverse lyricist and producer as well as performer as he is expected to do big things.
