This passion for playing and creating music started from the age of 11, and has since enabled to him smash venues at home and in Europe as a DJ. Previously in the studio, and under the ‘Kinetics’ alias Tim was responsible for the huge “Back 2 My Other Life” remix, which was the signature tune for Bobby Friction & Nihal’s BBC Radio 1 show for over a year. The track was also licensed to their “Presents…” LP selling over 200,000 copies to date. No longer using the ‘Kinetics’ alias, T-Phonic is currently pushing his musical boundaries further and further still. This year has seen Tim hook up with ‘The Remix Allstars’ who alongside the likes of Mampi Swift, BCUK & Sylo, Kenny Ken & Mace, Lemon D, Ray Keith & Navigator are currently reworking an album for the legendary Chuck D. T has put his DnB style to one of New Zealand's biggest breakbeat groups 'MINUIT' and their classic track "ROOM FULL OF CUTE" (forthcoming on ABSTRACT inc.) as well as remixing the soulfoul voice of Elpinicki for "OUT OF HAND RECORDINGS". Along with producing and DJ'ing, Tim is also finding time writing his debut hip hop album as part of “Kaned & Able”. So 2008 looks to be a very big year for T.
