Singer, songwriter, performance artist, film-maker, composer and social activist.

Mixed-race and autistic, Arnold was raised by his mother and her same-sex partner amidst a working-class theatrical community. Embracing his LGBTQIA+ heritage, he actively campaigns for inclusivity and diversity through his music.

When Iggy Pop told NME that Tim Arnold’s work reminded him of David Bowie, Arnold’s career was given a new lease of life. Seven albums later and this independent multi-media artist continues to create and self-release music from his home studio with an indefatigable DIY and community collaborative approach.

He’s independently released 26 albums. With his latest album Super Connected garnering 4-star reviews in Mojo, The Times, Clash and Rock n Reel.

Arnold worked on Super Connected for several years, using his songwriting to explore the seductive power of screen addiction and its corrosive effect on mental health.

Writing songs that touched on his own mental health prompted him to seek psychiatric assessment from the NHS during the 2020 lockdown. Two years later, the album complete, he was finally diagnosed with autism and ADHD. What started as a concept album about human behaviour and big tech, resulted in an empowering journey of self-discovery.

His unique approach to his art has given him the freedom to explore unique and eclectic ways of creating. With Super Connected, Arnold addresses the growing debate about smartphone use. A narrative driven concept album, it occupies a surprisingly uncharted lyrical territory in contemporary music.

In 2023, Super Connected debuted to standing ovations at London’s Roundhouse.  Art Council England supported the album’s first UK tour in 2024 which sold out and received glowing reviews.

“This production is a warning to humanity about today’s digital age and chillingly the one that inexorably will follow. Any piece of art should have the audience leave with more than they entered the room with. Super Connected definitely succeeds : it is a hugely significant piece of work, containing a vital message, carefully constructed and brilliantly performed. Outstanding” – UK Fringe Review
