Tim Phillips is a Canadian composer and singer-songwriter, based in London, England.
He has written music for many screen productions, including HBO's Entourage, the ITV serial Talk To Me and (with Murray Gold) the Channel 4 series Shameless, produced by Company Pictures. Phillips also provided the vocals for Gold's "Song for Ten", an original song composed for the Doctor Who 2005 Christmas special, "The Christmas Invasion".[1]
He is Co-Artistic Director of Filter Theatre, which he founded with actors Ferdy Roberts and Oliver Dimsdale in 2003. Their productions include Faster, Three Sisters, Water[2] (all at the Lyric Hammersmith) and a production of Bertolt Brecht's play The Caucasian Chalk Circle at the National Theatre.[3] Filter enjoyed massive critical success with their 2008 production of Twelfth Night, for the RSC.[4]
Phillips was in the UK rock band CatHead until Nov 2006, and thereafter was a member of Quaye, Phillips, & Young (alongside Finley Quaye and Steven Young). He performed "Song for Ten" at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the BBC Proms in July 2008.
