Tim Guy is originally from Melbourne but these days he calls Auckland, New Zealand home. Back in 2002 he met Bic Runga backstage after one of her gigs and gave her a demo tape of a few of his songs. Bic liked them so much she offered to produce his album and she ended up playing drums and guitar and lending her voice to the material as well. The resulting album ‘Blazey’ was released in 2004 on Bic’s new label ‘Nu Shoo Records’.

Tim played support for Bic on her Acoustic Churches tour that year, performing 25 shows to over 15,000 people, and since then he has been in constant demand touring with the likes of Miriam Clancy, Paul McLaney, Age Pryor, Steve Abel and Tommy as well as undertaking his own 33 date solo tour in 2006. Tim was also lucky enough to hold the honour of supporting multiple Grammy award winning American songwriter, Jimmy Webb, at the Sky City Theatre in Auckland in 2005.

Tim is currently finishing his second as yet untitled album which will be released in October. The recordings feature his band ‘The Tutaes’ which consists of Anika Moa (vocals, bass) and Anna Coddington (vocals, drums), both acclaimed singer/songwriters in their own right. The band will be touring New Zealand together in October/November and will be appearing at festivals over summer.

Tim recently received NZ on Air funding for his first music video ‘Cater for Lovers’ which will be directed by James Solomon (Batucada Sound Machine, Káren Hunter) and filmed by Richard Harling (Don McGlashan, Katchafire, Minuit).
