With over 25 years of experience, Tim is not new to the stage. He is a professional singer, song writer, guitarist and former professional dancer. He has been playing the guitar and studying music for over 25 years. I began performing at a young age and now play private events and venues all around San Diego. I write and perform my original music, ranging from reggae, island and blues, to pop and rock. I also perform covers that I make my own so each performance is one-of-a kind.
I would hire Tim again in a second! He was on time, dressed to impress, professional and easy to work with. He knew exactly what to play & when so he entertained the crowd but didn't overpower conversations, which was perfect for my cocktail party. He added great ambiance, playing a mix of jazz and current music, that he made his own. Everyone loved it! He is super talented. I will definitely hire him again. Fantastic job!!!!
Response from Tim Yancey:
Thanks, Noelle. I appreciate you taking the time to write a review. I had a great time performing at your event and look forward to the next one!

Gig Length: 60 - 180 minutes
I am professional singer, songwriter & guitarist. I have been playing the guitar & studying music for over 25 years. I began performing at a young age & now play corporate events, private parties, weddings and venues all around Southern California. When hired for a gig, I am on time, reliable & dress professionally.
My set list includes an upbeat mix of top 40 classic covers, along with my original music, all infused with a reggae, R&B, and pop vibe. I see that you'd like background music for your reception so I can also play an all jazz set, with or without vocals, at a nice volume level, for great ambiance, not to overpower the event.
As a solo artist, and one-man band, my goal is to entertain & engage the crowd. I am a very versatile & experienced musician, who can read the crowd and adjust my volume and energy accordingly. I tailor every event to make it a unique, one-of-a-kind, experience, taking the listener on a journey.
Tim's Father gave him his first guitar at the age of five and he has never looked back. While Tim worked on mastering the guitar, he also began singing at a young age at Mount Zion Baptist Church in his hometown of Madison, WI. Growing up in a large family, Tim never had to go far to learn the latest dance move or song. A born performer, he started performing dance routines for his family, including costumes changes, before he even started school.
As a teen, Tim perfected the moves of Michael Jackson and performed it in front of thousands, becoming a household name throughout the Midwest. As his M.J. tour grew in popularity, his hometown responded by holding live performances throughout the Madison area including shutting down his elementary and middle school for him to perform.
Although Tim will never stop dancing, his true passion is music. He appreciates all genres of music from gospel to country, to blues and reggae, which has allowed him to create his own unique soulful blend of music. Tim writes, sings and produces all of his own music, making his live performance a one-of-a-kind experience.
Tim's musical influences include Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince and Willie Nelson.
When Tim is not performing live, he is busy writing and producing his first solo album. Along with writing, singing and producing his original music, Tim also plays the guitar, bass, drums and keyboard on all of his songs.

My set list includes an upbeat mix of familiar covers and originals. I play a fun mix of reggae, R&B and pop. I specialize in taking a cover song and making it my own, with classic songs like Bob Marley's, Stir it Up, Prince's, Raspberry Beret and Michael Jackson's, Billie Jean. I also play current songs from Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and Pharell. As a solo guitarist and one man band, my goal is to entertain the crowd but not overpower the room, to still allow for conversations.
If your event calls for a quieter ambiance, I can play an all instrumental jazz set.
Prince, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown and Michael Jackson.
