Tim Lang

Bio:

(You can read an official sounding bio on other sites, but right here is the skinny on me by me. What’s worse than writing about yourself, I don’t know. Death by fire ants maybe? For you I’ll try…)

Hola!

This is Tim and I thank you for hanging with me here on MySpace.

I love music. I am a music fan. I think music is one of the greatest gifts given to us. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to make music and to have songwriting to process my mistakes, my victories, my losses, my life and the lives I have connected with.

I find it horribly annoying when I hear a musician complain about the music life. Get over it and get over yourself. The gift is the song. Nobody owes you anything! Being any kind of artist means being willing to sacrifice for your art. Who’s going to believe in your art, if you don’t believe in it first? That should never change.

To me it feels like home to perform live and to sing my song for people. I am just as happy playing for 10 people or 10,000, driving to the corner café or a 1000 mile drive to a concert hall. Some of my favorite shows have been seaside, bonfires for stage lights, playing for old friends and making new ones.

If I could, I’d like to ask of you a favor. I’m an indie musician. Which means I get to make the music I want to for me and my listeners. Unfortunately, it also means I don’t have a giant marketing budget to stay in your consciousness. But I really want to stay in your world and I’m hoping you want to stay in mine. So, here is the favor. Use one of the links on this page to get over to wherever you download music (iTunes, Amazon, etc.) and PLEASE give one of my songs a chance and download it. Let me hang out for awhile in your life’s soundtrack and let’s just see what happens.

I could care less about using MySpace to get plays and friend counts. I’m looking for friends of my music, people who think for themselves and support an artist because they champion the music. I want people that’ll taste the highs and lows together with me and won’t just tell me what they think I want to hear but tell me what they REALLY want to say. I’ve never stopped learning from people and that’s what makes my music grow.

I am Tim Lang, a singer with a guitar, an okay surfer, definitely a dreamer, often foolish, sometimes a disaster, but always ready to look for beauty. I hate people that say it can’t be done, but love people who wear their hearts on their sleeves. I love artists of all sorts, people who give kindness to those in need, the way the ocean makes you feel like a kid, family as fun as friends and friends like family.

If those things resonate with you then I invite you to come share my journey.
