Tima's
songwriting reflects some of her many diverse musical and cultural
influences. Starting with her father, an accomplished
Filipino Jazz musician, to being a student of Chinese Opera.
As a young child, she would visit Buddhist temples with her
Taiwanese Grandmother and was always mesmerized by the percussion
and chants of monks. And on Sundays, she would attend
Catholic Mass and get lost in the beautiful sounds of church
choirs. Add to this, her love of rock n' roll music.
This is the eclectic mix Tima brings to her music.
"Until
Now" is a testament to Tima's diverse background.
Drawing on her many influences, she manages to incorporate some of
the sounds, rhythms, and textures of her multi-cultured past,
while staying true to her rock and classic piano vibe, and the
down-to-earth universal themes of her lyrics.

“Tima
Montemayor’s debut album, Until Now, ushers in an
exciting new talent to the music community… Until Now
is a passionate fusion of music from around the globe…
Every song on this album is well-crafted, great lyrics
creative melodies, and stunning vocals.”

The Celebrity Café, by Gail Hoffer
“Sexy
new music - …Tima
is completely respectable. Her use of jazz and her own piano
skills really make her stand out against the majority of
current popular music. She’s definitely worth a listen.”

Now, Tima effortlessly entrances us to step into a different
