Tim
is one of those amazing all-rounders who make everything look
easy. He sings, he acts and plays so many musical instruments -
but guitar, drums and piano are amongst his favourites. Tim's
passion is exploring new instruments and writing his own music
making him the outstanding choice in a very musically talented
cast to present Making Music on Hi-5.
Sony Music Australia
Tim's
love of performance, plus his ability to sing, act and play
several musical instruments, makes him the archetypal (but never
typical) all-rounder. As well as guitar and piano, Tim's passion
is exploring new percussion instruments and writing his own music.
No stranger to television, Tim is easily recognised from such
commercials as KFC's "Hooked on a Feeling" and the
Centrelink ad "Youth Allowance". Tim has also appeared
on Home and Away and featured in a short film made for the RTA
called "A Time to Choose".
His first big-screen appearances are in Gillian Armstrong's
"Oscar and Lucinda" and "Strange Planet".
As well as all-round musical talent, this 23-year-old brings a
lively sense of humour to his presentation of the Hi-5 "Making
Music" segment. Tim says: "my little brother James has
taught me that there's more to being a kid than just having fun
and making noise - it's also about really serious stuff like
eating lollies."

Tim's

all.
