Raised on a steady diet of
the Beatles,
Simon & Garfunkel, and
Billy Joel, singer/songwriter/pianist
Tim Halperin had already released a debut EP before entering the public spotlight as a contestant on the 2010 season of American Idol.
Halperin never made it into the Top Ten, but the amiable performer endeared himself to audiences by being one of the first contestants to debut an original song. Sporting a soulful blend of modern and classic pop, he has been favorably compared to everyone from
Jason Mraz and
the Fray to
Ben Folds and
Coldplay.
Halperin released his post-Idol full-length debut,
Rise and Fall, in December 2011. A year later, he issued a seasonal EP, Under That Christmas Spell, which included a collaboration with Hayley Orrantia, a contestant from the first season of the U.S. incarnation of The X Factor. Following live dates supporting acts such as
the Fray and
Lee Ann Womack,
Halperin released a second full-length,
Heart Tells Your Head, early in 2014. Over the next few years,
Halperin remained prolific, issuing a stream of singles as well as a 2015 EP, Searching for the Same Thing. Other songs, like the 2017 singles "Light Up" and "Forever Starts Today," showcased the singer's knack for writing heartfelt, often motivational pop songs. Beginning in early 2018 with the sunny "Weightless,"
Halperin began issuing singles from his forthcoming third album, Chances. ~ James Christopher Monger & James Wilkinson
