No ordinary song and dance man, Tim is a triple-threat.
A handsome, exciting, multitalented man who is a singing
machine that dances and embodies a colorful musical
tapestry woven with inspiration and divine talent. Tim is
listed in Who's Who in music as a composer along with
his Grammy Award winning cousin, Al Green.

During his formative years, Tim was honored by being chosen as a protégé of Maceo Anderson of the famous Four Step Brothers and for several years remained a member of Maceo's group The Third Generation Steps. Performing as the opening act for Dean Martin marked the spectacular starting point of Tim's professional career at the age of 13.

Tim went on to co-star with Clifton Davis and Leslie Uggams in the all-black version of the hit Broadway musical "Guys and Dolls" and received accolades comparable to Davis and Uggams.

Maintaining his all-win audition record, Tim became the star of Dancin' Machine, a group signed with Casablanca records during the heyday of Donna Summer. Tim, along with Dancin' Machine, enjoyed many seasons on three hit television series, Kicks, Hot City and the Midnight Special. The group toured the United States but became very popular in Australia. While performing in a nationally televised special at Sidney's Opera House, Tim and Dancin' Machine before an audience of 250,000 people, who were spread out on the steps, hills and in boats around the Opera House, received a standing ovation for their performance.

Tim later landed the starring role as "Harry" in the hit Broadway musical Eubie- the role Gregory Hines originated. The critics praised him for his unique tap and acrobatic style; they compared his voice to that of the legendary Johnny Mathis.

Tim went on to tour with Lola Folana for several great years and starred in a succession of major hit shows in Las Vegas; "Splash" (Tim Searcy also cocreator/coproducer of the first original award winning show),
"Legends In Concert", (where he portrayed the legendary Sam Cooke), and "Abracadabra"(Tim Searcy also cocreator/music), where he received the award Best Lead Performer, "Entertainer of the Year" 1988 & 1989.

Tim Searcy has starred with Grammy and Tony award winners Jennifer Holiday and Stephanie Mills in the Hit Broadway musical tour of "Your Arms Too Short To Box With God".

Tim Searcy has recently won 2 Las Vegas Toddy Awards, Best Male Vocalist and Best In Show, for his live performance of his new hit single " We Can All Make A Difference" at Golden Rainbow's Ribbon Of Life event and is now releasing his long awaited self titled R&B Adult Contemporary CD to the world.
