Visual description

Timothei plays a drum solo at Vortex Jazz Club in London. Filmed vertically from the front, he sits at an orange drum kit against a purple-lit curtain. The view centres on his hands and the movement of his sticks across the drums and cymbals.

Always learning. Always practising. Even at Mount Fuji.

Visual description

Timothei sits on a rock at the foot of Mount Fuji, practising with two drumsticks on a small pad resting on his thigh. He wears a white shirt, a straw hat and sunglasses. Dark rocks, green trees and the mountain stretch behind him beneath a blue sky. At the end, he lowers his sticks and smiles to one side.

Always playing.
Always learning.

I started playing drums at four. Jazz is at the heart of my playing; curiosity keeps me moving. I bring preparation, commitment and an open ear to every rehearsal and performance.

At Gresham’s School, I founded and led the Jazz Trio, working on arrangements, recordings and live performances. I continue to develop my playing through lessons with musicians whose work inspires me.
