About Me

"I suppose that I did her wrong, but that devil's a hard guy to beat..."

UPDATED:

Well, some people were asking for it, so I've posted some early mixes of the stuff I've been working on for the EP over the last few months, plus another demo of a song called "Sweet Dream Baby" which is the next installment of my series of "baby" songs, to be followed by "Comment Ca Va, Baby" and then later on "Hasta la Vista, Baby".

Tim Weekes is the brainchild of Tim Weekes. A 23 year old songstress from the backstreets of Sydney, Australia. His origins are borne from mythology and romanticism, having claimed many things, including that he once tried sell his talent to Robert Johnson in exchange for his soul and that he was a decisive member of the French Revolution, after spending many years in forced labour as a convict after stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving family.

None of this is true, but what is true is that he is a singer/songwriter of great ambition who is curious to see how many times he can rewrite the same song before anyone else picks him up on it. The tally stands somewhere at 100 songs, mostly in the key of G (as in, Gee...I've heard that before) and C (as in, Si...I've also heard that before).

He also finds it difficult writing in this particular tense.
