ABOUT Tim Maines (Trombone Timo)

From broke trombonist to viral content creation expert, I’ve built a social media empire with over a billion views and more than a million followers. That journey showed me the true power of organic content in transforming artistic passion into sustainable revenue. 

I have performed with elite ensembles such as The Temptations, The O'Jays, The Richmond Symphony, The Pacific Music Festival Orchestra, Music Academy Orchestra. I provide masterclasses on my unique entrepreneurial journey as well as the information I've learned while studying at Yale, Northwestern and UT Austin. 

In my consulting practice at Timo LLC, I empower arts organizations, businesses, and musicians with social media strategies that grow audiences, foster vibrant communities, and drive sales without heavy ad spend.

To date, my work has delivered over 25 million views, 100k+ followers, and measurable boosts to sales and email list registrations for clients.

A few standout examples:
   •    For Robinson’s Remedies, I crafted a simple YouTube strategy that tripled their sales from one organic video, unlocking YouTube monetization in the process.
   •    For a University Professor, I’ve helped generate over 350 email signups from a single Instagram Story using AI-powered tools that keep interactions seamless and authentically personal.
   •    For the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, I 10x’d their following by repurposing existing performance clips into viral content. 

 •    For Big Wy's Brass Band, I helped them achieve over 50k followers and millions of views by ceographing rehearsals of the song Kilby Girl.

My signature approach is building AI-driven organic funnels that simplify the path from discovery to loyalty, enhancing KPIs like engagement and conversions. These systems provide robust data to seamlessly transition into paid campaigns for even higher ROAS.

Whether you’re an orchestra aiming to sell out shows or a brand cultivating devoted fans, I deliver tailored, results-oriented solutions that align with your unique niche.
