"Love is chasing me
Yeah love is after me
Love just doesn't leave
Love is here
And I cannot escape
Well I tried for sake"
It's a spiritual hunger that drives me to sing these songs. The awareness of a loving presence. People seem to feel that when they hear me, even if they don't know it. A couple of years ago I picked up my guitar and started performing as a solo artist. This became quite a journey to me. My first official album "Grouned" received some great feedback in the German press, it has also been featured on several channels of the indie folk scene worldwide. In 2023 I released four new singles leading up to my new album "All I Need To Know" which was released September 22nd.

"Again and again he succeeds in writing powerful but calm tunes and melodies, that one wants to sing along to without them being too intrusive. Additionally, these melodies flow through surprising but never confusing song structures. They lead through very convincing calm phases that find their climax and end in peaceful final chords."

01 In the Darkness
03 Mountain Top
04 Thanks I'm Fine

"He doesn't stage his music too euphoric, cheerful and intrusive, but also does not drift into melancholy. Instead he radiates an incredible calmness"
-German Magazine Akustik Gitarre-
I love these channels on Youtube that feature spontaneous unplugged sessions, like tiny desk, mahogany sessions or 7 Layers. That's why I started to record live versions of my songs in lost places or in the middle of nature.
I have an artist shop on Musicglue, just like Bear's Den, Lucy Rose or many other musicians I love. You will find signed CDs, Mugs and handprinted merch there for favourable prices. Have a look!
I'd love to share some of my music with You FOR FREE. I do this in a little email series. Every song comes with a background story and lyrics. I found out that people really like the stories I tell on concerts. Some are quite funny, some are more serious. I often was told to keep on doing this. So I thought it might be a good idea to write it down and share it with people out there.
Wanna go on this journey with me?
“As he began to sing everything changed: He had stories to tell, stories that captured him and his audience: With his eyes closed and the rhythm working its way through his body while he’s singing and playing the guitar, he opens up whole different realms.n
German newspaper "Westfälischer Anzeiger" about a gig in Hamm -
“There’s something special about Timo’s voice: Power. Something that needs to get out, without being obtrusive in any way.”
- An attentive photographer at a concert in Oberhausen -
“With a voice and songs that surely don’t have to hide from Albert Hammond, and angelic Cello accompaniment, the multi instrumentalist presents an album with eleven potential hits in folk music.”
- Chris Elstrodt, "Der Folker" -
“His music is neither too euphoric, too happy or obtrusive nor too melancholic. Instead, he radiates an incredible sense of calmness.”
