Warrior Records
"The Warrior" is about being socially conscious, about seeing what's "not-so-right" with the world today, its flawed hierarchies, history and social constructs and moving on strongly despite or because of it. It's about keeping true to yourself and not compromising on values or beliefs just to fit in and be liked. It's about a protest to subtle injustices. It's about going through love and emerging a stronger and better version of yourself. It's about having dreams beyond yourself where all the world is free territory to realize your dreams. But at the same time, it's also about the demons, fear and barriers that lie within that keep us procrastinating on our destiny. "If knowledge is power then, knowing is the path to understanding, acceptance and ultimately, love. Love is king. Music is love's mouthpiece, its propaganda, its soothing heal." Tim De Cotta is a vocalist, bassist, songwriter and producer who believes in keeping his art pure and full of love and life. Styled in R&B and HipHop, Tim draws influences from artists such as Frank Ocean, John Legend, Common and Mos Def while styling his bass-playing after the likes of Derrick Hodge and Stuart Zender. Having played with various bands, Tim also loves getting his hands dirty in musical diversity, pushing the boundaries in writing and production.
