Tim Bannock has been directly involved in the music industry for 10 years, and a fan much, much longer. Growing up on AC/DC and Jimi Hendrix, transitioning to the extremes of heavy metal, then branching out to discover electronica, jazz fusion, progressive, and so many more styles of music, Tim's tastes in music cannot be pinned down to any single genre. As an experienced freelance writer (he recently wrote as the L.A. Zombie Examiner as well as for print magazines), Tim will be bringing his signature brand of informative and entertaining articles to the Hollywood Music Examiner role. Aided and abetted by several music industry insiders, he will shed light on the back alley and boardroom deals of the record companies, spread the word on the hottest up-and-coming artists in the record-capital of the world, and peel back the layers of world famous musicians and artists.
