Myers’ soon-to-be-launched debut solo album will have its pick from over two hundred tracks, which he has compiled in the last year. Recently, iTunes release of Myers’ “The Good Life EP” was highly successful in presenting his carefree tunes, “A Beautiful World” and “The Good Life” .
One of America's most popular retailers, Target, widely praised for it’s artistic television ads, chose the music of Tim Myers to represent six nationwide commercials. “A Beautiful World” aired in Target’s 2008 ‘Design For All’ Campaign and Myers’ vibrant track, “Brand New Day featuring Lindsey Ray” is currently featured in a series of 5 unique commercials for the well-known retailer. Auto manufacturer, Saturn currently aired three national commercials featuring “The Good Life” .
Myers’ music has also been licensed by various TV shows and films such as .. Hotel For Dogs .., .. The Waterhorse: Legend Of The Deep.., ABC’s .. Greys Anatomy.., ..Private Practice.., The CW’s .. One Tree Hill.., and Lifetime’s .. Army Wives.., along many others. Myers’ songs have also contributed to the production of various independent films. Tim Myers has impacted the television world like no other independent artist in history.
Music has been the driving force for Tim from a very young age. Being compelled by piano at age five, guitar and bass were introduced to him shortly after. At eighteen, he joined the Platinum selling band OneRepublic. Myers entered the studio with the group, writing and performing on their debut record, “Dreaming Out Loud” , prior to leaving the band a few years later to embark on his solo career. Writing credits for the OneRepublic record include the Billboard hit single "Stop and Stare" as well as "All We Are".., "Someone To Save You", and "Prodigal".
A true songwriter and visionary, Tim Myers does more than write ‘good’ songs. He creates synergy between him and the listener by evoking intimately warm, fresh and cheerful emotions. He finds influence in music's greatest songwriters; John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Bob Dylan. By also seeking inspiration from The Beatles' catchy melodic rhythm and lyrics, a touch of The Beach Boys-esque harmonies, while infusing his own modern twist, Myers has introduced a unique style of songwriting to the world. While he has become known for his encouraging messages and explosive choruses with tracks like “The Good Life” and “Brand New Day” , Myers also reaches deeper with songs such as "I Can’t Go On Living Without You", "Remember When (featuring Schuyler Fisk)” and "This is Love". Although these tracks have yet to receive as much recognition in advertisements and television, they clearly have the power to connect with people on an organic and human level. A writer and poet, Myers also often finds inspiration from America’s most prominent authors and poets like Charles Bukowski, T.S. Elliot, C.S. Lewis, George Orwell, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. ,
While major record labels and music companies are now making significant amendments to their business models to appease the rise of unsigned artists through the digital movement, Tim Myers has unintentionally paved a new path for all unsigned artists. His exposure has been amplified by television and film, similar to the way radio has been a driving force for the major label artist.
Aside from working on his own music, he continues to produce, write and collaborate with several other noted artists such as Tyrone Wells (Universal/Republic), Lindsey Ray (Original Signal), Days Difference (Universal/Motown), Mozella (Universal/Motown), Mitchel Musso (Disney), Schuyler Fisk (Independent) among many others.
With his notable success and consistent yet unique songwriting, Tim Myers will continue to make a strong impact as an artist in the constantly evolving music industry.

The lyrics of Tim Myers's song Under Control are about the struggles and uncertainties of life, but also the determination to push through and live it to the fullest. The singer is emphasizing the importance of moving forward and focusing on the future, without dwelling on the past. Life is compared to a melody and chord, which suggests that there is both harmony and dissonance in life's ups and downs. The singer acknowledges that life can be risky, like walking on a high wire without a net, and that it can also be unpredictable like a circus. However, the singer urges the listener to keep pushing through the good and bad, to try and keep it all "under control."
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea of perseverance and resilience, with the repeated phrase "keep on keepin' on." While life is unpredictable and challenging, the singer encourages the listener to keep trying to keep it all "under control." The final verse of the song offers a message of hope, encouraging the listener to keep going when they feel stuck or lost. The repetition of the phrase "keep on keepin' on" throughout the song is a powerful reminder to stay strong and keep moving forward, even when life is tough.
