ABOUT
WHO IS TIM STILES?
Tim Stiles is an independent hip-hop artist from Seattle, WA–historically known as the lead vocalist/rapper of satirical hip hop band, Passion Party. While writing outlandishly hilarious stabs at the eccentricities of society, nerd culture, and relationships is prevalent in his contributions to the band, Tim is no one trick pony. He’s a clever wordsmith in his own right unafraid to branch out into more conscious directions while maintaining an engaging stage presence. Tim’s solo efforts and collaborations with other artists have resulted in a topically diverse catalog ranging from celebratory and grateful to provocative and personal. Regardless of the theme, the end result is a song that’s unique, relatable and accessible. There’s a beauty in Tim Stiles’ consistent track record of inconsistency. Thanks for visiting!
