He has worked with various musicians and artists, both in the recording studio and during live shows. Most recently, he has performed with singer/songwriter Lonna Marie, and with Guitar player Tom Roberto and Bassist John Meglino, who appear on a couple of the tracks on the Timmy Jupiter and the Recruits EP. Timmy has become known for his rock n’ roll performance style and soaring, aggressive vocals, which has been entertaining the underground crowds of New York City’s music scene for the past year.
