Tim Be Told announced as a Finalist for Kollaboration New York

Tim Be Told is one of today’s hottest up and coming bands, whose soulful, pop-rock sound draws comparisons with Maroon 5 and the Fray. They have won the University of Virginia’s prestigious Battle of the Bands competition, and are among the top 10 unsigned artists on the MySpace charts in Virginia. You have to listen to their music!

Each member of the band hails from a different cultural background. Pianist and lead singer Tim Ouyang is Chinese, guitarist Andrew Chae is Korean, guitarist and backup vocalist Luan Nguyen is Vietnamese, drummer Jim Barredo is Filipino, and bassist Parker Stanley is of western European descent and 1/8 Cherokee Indian. Despite their distinct backgrounds, the band has a mainstream sound that appeals to a very diverse audience.

Tim Be Told frontman Tim Ouyang says: “We are honored to participate in Kollaboration New York. It will be a privilege to perform with some of the best talent on the East Coast.” Kollaboration New York takes place on June 27th, at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University.
