Why Is TimTim.Live Singing About a Place I Love?
A personal note about why TimTim.Live is here in Edo State.
Read the Story Close Story
Edo State, Nigeria
More than 304 million people live outside the country where they were born.
And hundreds of millions more carry another country, city, town or village in their hearts — through parents, grandparents, family, memories, culture, friendship and love.
Maybe you are one of them.
Maybe Edo State is the part of Nigeria you still call home.
Maybe your parents came from here. Maybe someone you love still lives here. Maybe you visited once and never forgot it. Or maybe it is simply a place you hope to see someday.
That is why TimTim.Live is here.
Where you live today and where you feel at home do not always have to be the same place.
The rhythm I carry on this journey comes from the Haitian Konpa I grew up with. It is the music of my childhood, my memories and part of who I am.
Today, through TimTim.Live, I am taking that rhythm with me on a musical journey around the world — creating songs inspired by countries, cities, towns, villages, people and places I have visited, places I have learned about, and places I still dream of discovering someday.
Edo State is a place I am still learning about, and one I hope to discover someday.
But I want something to be very clear:
I do not come pretending that Konpa is the traditional music of Edo State. This is simply my musical greeting to a place I want to honor.
I am sharing the music I grew up with as a musical greeting from my home to yours.
From Haiti… and now my hometown of Washington, DC, USA… to wherever you call home.
Music does not need a passport.
Music can cross a border long before we do. You do not have to speak the same language. You do not have to come from the same country. You don’t even have to understand every word.
Music asks only one question:
Will you listen?
And if you hear a Haitian Konpa beat carrying the name or memory of a place close to your heart, I hope it makes you smile.
I hope the music carries you back to a memory of Edo State.
I hope it reminds you of someone. I hope it brings back loving memories.
And for those of us living far from the places where we grew up, I hope that for a few minutes… home feels a little closer.
If Edo State is your home, help me discover it.
Tell me about its people. Tell me about its music. Tell me what makes it special.
Tell me about the places someone should see, the stories they should know, and the things people who were born there never forget.
TimTim.Live should not only sing about places. It should help the people who love them be heard. That is why the TimTim.Live platform is now open to artists worldwide.
I, TimTim.Live the artist, want to help people remember, discover and stay connected to a place dear to their heart.
Who comes to mind when you think about Edo State?
Send them the music. Send them the memory. Send them a free TimTim.Live Musical Postcard and say: “I heard this and thought about you.”
Send a Free Musical PostcardBecause sometimes a song can travel thousands of miles and bring someone home for a few minutes.
And if the Konpa rhythm makes you move… I want to dance with you.
Welcome to TimTim.Live — Konpa to the World.
From the places we come from, to wherever life takes us.
Music does not need a passport.
