Tim started as a singer at the age of five, in chicago, illinois back in the 60''s, where street corner harmony was the in thing. He and his three brothers, kevin, maurice and gerald burton, would sing in church as the burton brothers, using sweet four part harmonies they wowed audiences so much that it encourged thier father, james burton to motivate them to work hard and be the best that they could be. Around 1965, another young family group was on the rise, growing in popularity, in gary,indiana, called the jackson five. Their success help to encourage the brothers direction in the music business, so with a band playing behind them they went on to play several venues in chicago gaining them popularity in the city.

His desire to learn how to play multiple instruments continued to add to his personal growth as a well rounded musician. Playing sax, bass guitar, and keyboards along with singing helped him to land the position of music director in his the family band. The band went on to moderate success thru the early 80''s until thier father took ill and could no longer be the manager of this now hot act. Unable to find someone that could fill their father shoes as a manager,motivater and someone they could trust, the band dispanded but tim continued to pursue his musical journey. During his journey out on his own for the first time without his family tim landed a jazz gig in no time. Emulating bassist like stanley clake, john pattituchi,marcus miller and many others got him popularity quickly.
