Born in Zimbabwe, TîMMY the FIRST moved to New Zealand at five years old. His parents traveled the world as missionaries, leaving Timmy without any true roots to call home. It was through this lifestyle that he fell in love with music, connecting to various communities through his performances. Timmy developed his sound in the bustling Otago music scene, carving a niche for himself as a hip-hop act. Over the past two years, Timmy has developed his sound to a sharp point, boldly exploring his truth across infectiously energetic performances. He’s forged a name for himself within New Zealand’s music community, performing festivals and opening for Savage, JessB, CHAII, and more.
