Timur’s career so far has been wide ranging stylistically, but always anchored to the same core concepts for playing live, in the recording studio or even in the rehearsal room: get the best possible performance of the ideal part for the music with an emphasis on groove, sound and musical sensibility to realise the ultimate goal: the bandleader’s vision for the performance, the writer’s vision of the final track and the most harmoniously musical end result.

Having arrived in NYC in 2008 with a set of drums, a pair of running shoes and a handful of books on meditation, Timur set about collaborating with as many people as possible.

Highlights include playing pop music with Grammy winners and nominees at Flux Studios, Mercury Lounge and The Living Room, jazz in Central Park at Tavern On The Green, avant-garde music at The Stone, with singer-songwriters at Rockwood Music Hall, prog rock at Webster Hall Studio, electro pop/rock at Poisson Rouge, multiple benefit shows at The Bitter End, playing live film scores at Nitehawk and BAM Cinemas, and even accompanying a game of chess at the Philadelphia Museum of Art whilst being treated with a view of one of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers.
