🌍 Why TimTim.Live exists
Built by an independent artist, for independent artists
TimTim.Live is a global platform for independent musicians and the people who listen to them. It exists because being an independent artist is hard in a specific way: the music business is fragmented, being discovered is mostly luck, and the relationship between an artist and the people who love their work usually belongs to somebody else. An artist who lived all of that built this so it would be different — you keep your rights, you set your own price, and the people who find you are yours.
That artist is Pierre-Richard Augustin, who releases music here as TimTim.Live Originals. His catalogue was the first on the platform and his story is below — not because the platform is about him, but because it is the reason it works the way it does.
TimTim.Live exists to create joyful Konpa music that connects people, celebrates Haiti, and inspires curiosity about the world. Through songs, stories, and cultural experiences, we're building a living TimTim.Live musical journey — one future generations can keep discovering, performing, and sharing.

The founder's story
Pierre Richard Augustin performs as TimTim.Live, carrying Konpa to world music, Caribbean, African, jazz and cultural festivals. Born in Les Cayes, Haiti, he travelled through Guadeloupe at twelve on his way to a year in Paris, then built his life in the United States — New York, then Lynn, Massachusetts, and today Washington, DC.
Vwayaj la
Kote yo te ye, Ayiti
Yo te fèt sou kot sid peyi Ayiti, nan sid peyi sa a, kote rasin syèl la ansanm ak Sosyete Babilonyen yo te kòmanse. — Konpa
Guadeloupe
Lè l te gen douz an, premye peyi li te fikse a te rive nan vil Pari, li te kanpe premye fwa li te fè vwayaj la.
Paris, France
Yon ane, nan kapital fransè a, Henryson, ki t ap viv nan 16syèk la, t ap viv nan 16syèk la.

Apre sa, li te gradye nan Lekòl Galaad, yon ane, nan John Eekòl segondè ki te nan vil Bwouklin nan.
Li te rele Temwen Jewova yo nan epòk la.
Yo te gradye nan Lekòl biblik anglè e yo t ap viv nan yon zòn ki gen 19 kilomèt ladan l. Yo te achte yon ti kay blan ki t apral chanje tout bagay.

🎸 Gita Blan an
Yon rèv reta, pa janm abandone
In 1986, fresh out of Lynn English High School and living at 9 Arlington Street in Lynn, Massachusetts, an eighteen-year-old TimTim.Live walked into a music store and fell in love with a white guitar on the wall. He bought it — then life forced him to sell it, and he never forgot it.
For decades, music took a back seat while he built businesses and helped others. But a true passion never dies; it waits. Nearly forty years later, the white guitar found its way back into his hands.
That homecoming became the heart of his “Konpa to the World” journey — proof that it’s never too late to answer the call that’s been living inside you all along.

🍺 Lachin · 2015
Yon pen griye, yon amitye, ak 888
Nan 2015, TimTim.Live te pase yon mwa nan Chongqing, Lachin, eksplore opòtinite biznis. Li te tonbe pou kilti pen griye Lachin nan - seremoni an nan ogmante yon vè amitye ak bòn fòtin.
Nan dat 8 fevriye 2015, li te rankontre Mèt Jane, epi yon nouvo antrepriz te fèt: 888 Byè chans. Nan Lachin, nimewo 8 la vle di chans, richès, ak pwosperite - se konsa twa uit te vin non an.
Yon inisyativ mondyal TimTim.Live

During a month in Chongqing, China in 2015, TimTim.Live was inspired by China's toast culture and met Master Jane on February 8, 2015. In China the number 8 means luck, wealth, and prosperity — so the brand became 888 Lucky Beer.

How is TimTim.Live different from Spotify, Facebook, or TikTok?+
TimTim.Live plays a different game. Spotify helps you listen to more songs; TimTim.Live helps you meet more people.
