COMMENT
Tim Wells is an accomplished professional actor, performer, singer,
songwriter and voice artist based in Durban, South Africa.
Apart from his theatrical work and live musical performances, Tim
is a sought after professional voice artist performing voice-overs
for TV and radio commercials, magazine programs as well as
corporate videos, presentations and more recently the internet,
online and cellular marketing industry.
His experience and confidence as a professional actor and
performer enable him to work equally as comfortably
in front of the camera.
The Debut Album - 'Fallen Through The Cracks'
This solo album from singer /songwriter Tim Wells is produced
by Nux Schwartz, who orchestrated, arranged and executed all
instrumentation. Tim's background in theatre affords him vocal
flexibility and range. Tim is therefore also no stranger to the
live context and has performed as a guest vocalist with
the KZN Philharmonic and at numerous other corporate events. All
vocal work on the album is executed by Tim, including the
deconstructed movie-soundtrack type vignettes which serve to comment
on an era bombarded by multi-faceted media forms.
The Latest Album - 'Hold Tight'
...was produced by Colin Peddie. The album self-professedly
doesn't take itself too seriously so there is plenty
of light-hearted foot tapping, however the inspiration
for the project is Tim's late brother Christopher, an
actor living and working in the UK who died after a brief battle
against cancer in late 2005. Chris was known to perform as a
guest in Tim's band in the late 90's and in 2000.
Guest performances on this album include viola from the
inimitable Brendan Jury and guitar work from maestro Syd Kitchen. The
material is varied and always distinctively melodic pop-rock.
The track "Strange New World" has been earmarked
(by author/executive producer John van de Ruit) for possible
inclusion in the movie soundtrack for the number 1 bestseller
novel "Spud".
