Endorse Tim Laws
I worked with Tim in the early nineties under his Pro-Gressive label which he had with his brother. Both Tim and Chris wrote and produced a dance track with my vocal. It was a long time ago and it’s been amazing to watch their careers grow from then. Tim is a great guy, a great producer and I really enjoyed working with him.
I am going back to 1988 for when I first met Tim. He recorded and produced an album that featured local bands - one of which I was in as drummer. His approach was intuitive and helpful for those who had not had experience in a studio before. It was an enlightening experience for me, and was also involved in a couple of follow on projects thereafter and I cannot rate highly enough as an engineer or producer, but also as an excellent guitarist too.
I have worked with Tim for a few years. I am a publisher and creative music supervisor, and Tim has written and produced TV themes and advert soundtracks for my clients. Not only is he a top rate music producer, but also his skill at responding to creative direction is as good as anyone I've ever worked with. It is a joy to sit in his studio and work alongside him. I can't recommend him highly enough.
Working with Tim has been an absolute pleasure. Always approachable and friendly, his enthusiasm and passion are infectious. Tim's attention to detail and his ability to bring out the best in every element of the song made the track pop that much more. I'm looking forward to future projects together!
Regularly work with Tim on writing and production projects.
So far have seen projects placed with artists such as Sonny Fodera, and labels like Good Company / Get Together
Always great to work with and has a wealth of knowledge in all aspects of music making.
Tim has always been open, engaged and enthusiastic on any project we've worked on together. He brings a extra dimension to the process and is always accommodating to the artists idea's and needs. That aside, he makes a mean cup of tea.
I have known and worked with Tim for many years. As well as being a hit record maker who is well versed in the machinations of the music industry he is a talented composer for film T.V. and library; which is where we have worked together most recently. Tim has always kept an open mind and maintains an infectious enthusiasm for new talent and new music. I think this energy and sense of fun is the root of his success. I can't recommend him more highly!
