Whangārei-based emerging artist TIMO has today released his upbeat and catchy debut single and video ‘Waiting for You’.

The freshest face on the Aotearoa music scene, Tim Bell is bringing the 80’s vibes with his 80’s-inspired, infectious new project TIMO. Tim has previously written music for a range of fashion and dance shows and Children’s fitness DVD ‘Beat The Feet’. He also wrote the full-length musical Not Another High School Musical which debuted in Whangarei in 2020. Now, he’s gearing up to make a name for his feel good, nostalgic music and today’s release does just that.

Produced, mixed and mastered in Tāmaki Makaurau by Scott Seabright, ‘Waiting For You’ was originally written during Tim’s time in Brisbane. “It’s about a girl I met while working at the Hilton in Brisbane about 13 years ago, who joked that we should get married at The Hilton so she could get a British passport,” says Tim. “I said I’d write the wedding song… so I did! And we lived happily ever after, albeit not together or in each others’ lives.”

Also released today is a brand new music video, which captures an equally charming narrative as the song lyrics. Made in collaboration with friends and established directors Kevin Etherington and Pepe de Hoyos, the video was filmed across both Tāmaki Makaurau and Tim’s hometown of Whangarei.
