The Man Behind the Music

Semper Fideles! Marines: as a former Marine it gave me great pride and experiences that will be with me throughout my life’s span. So it’s no wonder I enjoy performing for the troops in the U.S. and abroad!
Some of the highlights in my career include playing for our United States Army, Special Forces, United States Air Force, United States Navy, and the United States Marine Corps.
Nothing gives me fulfillment like giving back to those who give so much of themselves so that we can continue to enjoy the freedom we often times take for granted.
I look forward to many more tours throughout the Asian Pacific and abroad in the near future.
I’d love to come where you are if you’re Military and I’ve not played your base yet please e-mail me and let’s make it happen!
In an exciting career: ‘publicly’ spanning for just less than six years I've worked with a variety of today’s ‘independent’ and ‘underground’ artist, sharing a string of chart finding’ music & radio spins on more than (40) Smooth Jazz, R&B, & Gospel stations from the East Coast to California respectfully.
Having ‘introduced’ and written songs: for both independent and mainstream artist, I have always looked to challenge myself by raising the bar of creativity and experience with each new artist or collaborative expression.
Having also enjoyed commercial success with Television and Corporate marketing layouts, my music is currently being used by clients such as ‘The Weather Channel’, ‘The Hilton Corporation’, ‘and over (46) radio stations to date!
One word describes Tim Watson’s writing style,: “addictive.” “I love it “ Tim say’s, “what’s so neat about the whole descriptive process is that listeners’ tend to give you a word or phrase which appeals to them and mine just happens to be addictive.”
When asked what inspires him: to write and create material for other artist ‘he says with a smile'...
…“I'm always learning from anyone I can and many artists today just want to make MUSIC! They aren’t’ pre occupied with fame, TV interviews, the latest ‘fad’ or things like that, they just love what they do and that fuels me even more!....” credits-(MPR Public Radio Interview)
