🌍 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 皮埃尔·理查德·奥古斯丁, 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.

🎸 白色吉他
梦想迟到了，从未放弃
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.

🍺 中国·2015
干杯，友谊，还有888
2015年，TimTim.Live在中国重庆待了一个月，探索商机。他爱上了中国的敬酒文化——举杯庆祝友谊和好运的仪式。
2015年2月8日，他遇见了简师傅，一个新的创业就此诞生： 第888章 幸运啤酒。在中国，数字“8”代表幸运、财富和繁荣——因此三个八就成了这个名字。
