Timothy Marcus Arnold (born 3 July 1975) is an English musician, singer-songwriter, performance artist,[1] composer, producer,[2] and film director[3][4][5] from London.

[10][11] Arnold's Super Connected project explores the impact of screen addiction, particularly in the context of family dynamics and mental health.

[2] The teachings inspired him to leave his mother's home in Spain and return alone to England to study at the Rudolf Steiner School, where he formed the band Jocasta with best friend Jack Reynolds.

In 2000 his new band called Spearshaker recorded several songs at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, which would later be released on Arnold's solo album 'En Route'.

[citation needed] In 2003 Arnold travelled to the Wat Tham Krabok Buddhist monastery in Thailand, where he was successfully treated for drug addiction.

[31] He recorded his debut solo album Lokutara with the monks who cured him,[32] in which the music was created by following cracks in the earth, which metamorphosed into pop rock melodies.

Arnold embarked on his 11th solo album Sonnet 155 by writing over 30 letters to Shakespearean actors, including Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi, Pete Postlethwaite, Richard Briers, Janet Suzman and Emma Thompson in the hope that they would provide further inspiration and help turn ideas into songs.

[37][38] Sonnet 155 previewed to standing ovations at the Almeida Theatre, London (2 & 9 May 2010), a cross-media performance, including contributions from actors Richard Briers,[39] Paul McGann, Benedict Cumberbatch and Lisa Dillon.

[40][41][42] The album also re-interprets classical pieces of music by Mozart, Rimsky-Korsakov and Michael Nyman – each song a contemporary response to a Shakespearean theme.

Iggy supported the release, telling NME that "It could have been an outtake from 'Kind of Blue' by Miles Davis, or maybe side two of 'Low' by Bowie and Brian Eno.

[51][52] The pair subsequently went on to create an immersive multimedia community event of Arnold's song 'What Love Would Want' at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall in 2018.

[56] In 2019, Arnold wrote and released "Don't Go Changing Soho", a Christmas tribute single to the area featuring vocals from Marc Almond, Boy George, Chrissie Hynde, Marty Wilde, Glen Matlock, Polly Perkins, Mari Wilson, Emily Capell, and Gary Kemp.

[57] In 2020, Arnold began work on his first lockdown album When Staying Alive's The Latest Craze[58] which included the community collaborative video for song "Another Record That Changed My life".

[64] In May 2022, Arnold staged an R & D live multimedia performance of his album and silent film Super Connected in London's first sustainable community market, Mercato Metropolitano at new venue, The Temple of Art and Music.

[79] Arnold subsequently went on to support and work with Amnesty International at live events across the United Kingdom throughout 2017, including the petition hand-in at the Russian Embassy in London in protest of Chechnya's gay purge, where Arnold performed the song alongside campaigners Sir Ian McKellen, Peter Tatchell and Sir Michael Cashman.
