Timothy Slater asks us to consider, 'what's the colour of love?'

Timothy was born and raised in Tasmania, where he was fed a healthy diet of James Taylor, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Jackson Browne and Elton John by his older brothers.

He started playing solo gigs in smoky bars in the 80s, then went on to front local rock band 'The Talk' for the next decade, playing to packed houses and supporting touring bands like, Split Enz, Australian Crawl, The Divinyl's, and sharing the stage with icons such as Jimmy Barnes, Noiseworks and Diesel. In 1991 he moved to Adelaide, then Melbourne, where he worked in bands and vocal groups, touring, recording and exploring roots, soul and gospel music. His passion for Gospel led him to tour America with Sydney Gospel music artist Tony Backhouse.

In 2002 he started writing his first solo CD 'Inside out', working with Aria award winning
producer Richard Pleasance to produce a collection of skilfully-crafted songs that are
deeply personal, yet universal. In 2009 he released his second CD 'Everything Falls'.
Of late Timothy has collaborated with some of Melbourne's finest musicians, performing at local venues in Melbourne and making guest appearances with a 90-voice gospel choir called the Melbourne Singers of Gospel.

He has now returned to Tasmania to be closer to family and reconnect with his beloved
home state.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
