TIM GORDINE
SONGWRITER / PRODUCER

After years of playing in bands to deserted pubs on the Isle Of Wight, Tim Gordine discovered the recording studio. He spent every spare minute experimenting with drum machines, samplers, FX units and keyboards and that same year, at the age of 17, he recorded his first album with Helen Sheppard. After that experience had whetted his appetite he moved up to London and started up the Gor-Mac Music Organisation with his friend Andrew MacKay, making music for films and TV. In 1987 Tim and Helen landed their first record deal, as Fantasia, with Chrysalis Records.

Further work with Helen bought them to the attention of Rhythm King Records and Sony Music. In 1991 they signed a major deal set up our own studio (Love Palace Digital) and moved to a much cooler part of town. The band was called Heaven West Eleven and dominated the next two years of Tim’s life.

After Heaven West Eleven, Tim started to concentrate more on remixing other artists, production and songwriting, working with Robbie Robertson (for which he received a Grammy Nomination) and Jared Levine at Dreamworks Records.

1996 saw Tim join a band snappily titled X-CNN, who were renamed Tinstar. The next five years were spent living the rock ‘n’ roll dream, playing big gigs and touring the world.

Since the band split, Tim’s been working with more artists and acts including Syntax, Son Of Dave, Eastmountainsouth, Peter Bradley Adams and Tense. His tracks have previously been used in The Sixth Sense and Any Given Sunday.

Tim continues to write and produce in his attic-studio in Kensal Rise, North-West London.
