Dj/Host Timmy Trumpet
SINPHONY Radio
Australian DJ and instrumentalist Timmy Trumpet crafts dynamic, progressive house music that he often accents with his trumpet playing. Over the course of the 2010s, he issued a steady string of hard-hitting, club-friendly anthems, most notably his multi-platinum 2014 smash “Freaks.” In 2020, he released his very first full-length album, Mad World.
Born Timothy Jude Smith in Sydney in 1982, Smith began playing trumpet at age four and initially attended the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where he received classical instruction. After being thrown out for a prank, however, he transferred to a public high school and became increasingly involved with jazz. Although Smith’s trumpet ability predicted a performance career, it was dance music and not jazz that ultimately grabbed his interest. Around 2001, billing himself as Timmy Trumpet, he began combining his skills as a DJ and trumpeter, a sound that caught audiences’ attention in such EDM hot spots as Ibiza and London.
