Artist description "It's about having a drive to do something. Waking up every morning and instinctively working on your craft - grabbing a guitar, working a melody, a lyric, making a phone call - whatever, just doing it, making it happen". These are highly seasoned and able words from Tim Hicks, the 22 year old singer/songwriter behind the Niagara based group milesABOVE. A serene confidence surrounds Tim - a calm sincerity from an old soul The pop-edged sound of milesABOVEis making an incredible impact on Ontario club goers. Formed and fronted by Tim in April of 2002, milesABOVE have nearly sold out their debut EP and are setting their sights on playing bigger venues and gaining a larger fan base. Their powerful vocals and strong pop hooks have fans and industry singing along and craving more! But Tim and milesABOVE are by no means green to the music business. Over the years, Tim has managed to open for numerous Canadian recording artists including Blue Rodeo, Crash Test Dummies,Wide Mouth Mason, Edwin, Amy Sky, and Marc Jordanto name a few. Tim also toured Europe with a Toronto band and joined Canadian rockers Serial Joe (Aquarius) as a touring guitar player and back-up vocalist on a cross Canada tour as well as some notable television appearances (Open Mike, Canada AM) - quite an electrifying performance resume. After composing over 50 songs with Niagara producerCorey Macfadyen,(Serial Joe, Up Yer Kilt, Brighton Rock), 12 have been selected and the milesABOVE album is nearly finished. Tim is continually writing and cites the songwriting talents of Lennon and McCartney as his principal influences. He also adds Matthew Sweet, U2, Jellyfish, Sugar Ray, and The Cars as additional influences in his writing, performing and overall musical taste. Recreating the studio sound live is no easy task, so after auditioning many hopeful musicians, a slick combination of seasoned players were chosen for the job. Brothers Anthony and Adam Mancini play lead guitar and drums respectively, allowing Tim to shine at the front of the band, playing acoustic and rhythm guitar when needed. With a fresh sound, brilliant songs, a ferocious live show, and a fierce determination to succeed milesABOVE are ready to be heard!
