Timothy Jay Artist Bio

London drummer (real name Tim Yasui) / Vice President of Cleopatra Records.

While still in graduate school working on an M.B.A. he answered an ad at a college radio station, WHUS, and landed the gig as the Connecticut college rep before asking them for a “transfer” out to the west coast. Despite the fact that he had already graduated and was done with school, they were nice enough to give him an extension and continue out of their LA offices in 1987. Shortly after moving out to Hollywood to continue his extended “internship” with Capitol Records, he met a guitarist named Sean Lewis that led to the LONDON gig.

Sean Lewis hired Tim to lay down some percussion tracks on his demo, which featured Mark Free (KING KOBRA) on vocals and a mutual friend named Steve Lacy (KIM CARNES) on lead guitar. Sean then got the gig as the 2nd guitarist (along with Lizzie Grey) in the band LONDON. Sean arranged for Tim to play drums on their demo called “Love Games” and eventually got him in as the permanent drummer.
