A cool thing to notice its that they latest album is basically a mix of they style and a portfolio for future collabs. ABC is a pop song that you can easily think about any other pop musician feature with them(ariana grande, dua lipa, billie eilish, etc.). Bloodbath is a way to show that they can produce metal music. Chimera and Fuck around and find out is to show how they style can mix with rap and hip-hop. Tim is a visionary.

Yes, you’ve got a keen eye. I think in a livestream Tim had mentioned the admiration for the business model EDM acts had where they would collaborate with rappers and pop artists. The band is very expressive and not bound by genre. It’s one of their biggest strengths IMO.

Scott LePage needs WAY more recognition.

Thanks for checking it out. I’m stoked that you were able to learn something new and impressed that you were able to identify it in other artists! It’s a prerequisite to attracting an audience!

Musicians as entrepreneurs are particularly interesting to me because they have a grounding force in music that pure capitalist CEOs don't have. Tim has a real skill he is turning into profit opposed to C level executives just playing corporate musical chairs.

I saw Tim's old video where he was playing electric guitar with his childhood band (he looks like he's in his pre-puberty age there). Electric guitar is considered expensive for kid that age, but probably not if the parents have enough money to spend for their kid's hobby. So i suppose a supportive rich-enough parents are behind Tim in his younger year. The path to learn multiple skills that would benefit his passion is wide open, and he took his chance, making the best out of it. He basically has two of the most important things to be successful; luck and effort.

You can be born into a rich family and still be a dvmbas$ who cant make money for themselves. What tim is doing takes a lot of work and effort put in to get where hes at. Just having the funds for your business doesnt guarantee it will be successful, its all on you to make it successful after obtaining the capital to start to run it.

Is he rich from clicks and views like damelio and Paul brothers?

Sure, I can’t speak on his upbringing personally as there is little information on it and no way for me to verify. I will say however that we’ve all got certain advantages and disadvantages throughout our lives. Depending on what you place value on you may see how he grew up as a blessing. Truth is we do not know him and we do not know his life. It’s best that we focus on the blessings we have and what we can do to improve our own circumstances rather than compare our circumstances to that of others. You’re insight is appreciated.

I think his actual playing (his note choices, phrasing, etc.), though not really that interesting to me, is very well executed. Love him or hate him - and I certainly don't love him or this band -but as far as musicianship him and Scott have been their own competition for a while now. What I think lacks heart and emotion is the production and the band itself. I saw them open for BTBAM a few years back and while their performance was pretty much flawless, it was one of the most boring sets of any band I've ever watched. Same whenever I've seen them interviewed. I actually think on a personality level they're all one dud after another except for Scott. For me that all extends to the production of the actual recordings and subsequent live performances, music videos, etc. Specific more to Tim, his personality seems to all be in his closet. Does any of this matter? Of course not. But it does all feel very plastic and increasingly so with each year and each new release. TLDR; Plays great, boring band.
