Tim Be Told

Combining elements of pop, rock and soul, Tim Be Told has exploded onto the music scene with their own unique sound. After tracking their debut album “Getting By” in the summer of 2007, the band has toured extensively from coast to coast to meet the demand of their intensely devoted fans, while along the way sharing the stage with such acts as OK GO, Parachute, RJD2, and Hawk Nelson.
The quintet consists of songwriter and frontman Tim Ouyang, guitarist and backing vocalist Luan Nguyen, lead guitarist Andrew Chae, bassist Parker Stanley, and drummer Jim Barredo. The band is currently touring in support of their highly anticipated latest recording, “From The Inside.” A critic from MTV Iggy hailed it as “hands down this is one of the strongest releases I’ve heard all year" calling it “a great sounding cocktail of Maroon 5 meets Jason Mraz meets Ray Charles meets Elton John."
"I write about God, about love, disappointment, disbelief, faith, and hope," says Ouyang of his songwriting. "The goal is to use experiences from my life to tell a greater story of human experience that everyone can relate to; and perhaps help find some peace and resolve in a world that is often chaotic and lonely." TBT's energetic and moving live performances, which feature their songwriting prowess, soaring vocals, epic guitars, and catchy grooves, have earned them a legion of fans across the nation. Creating music infused with hope, heart, and raw vulnerability, the band aspires to breathe life and comfort into trying circumstances and inspire change in the way people experience their humanity.
