Tim Pierce grew up in Albuquerque New Mexico, and fell in love with the music he heard on the radio in the 60s.

After hearing Jimi Hendrix, he, like so many others, poured himself into the electric guitar. He studied with an amazing teacher named Steve Maase for two years from age 12 to 14, and played in bands constantly as a teenager.

At age 20 he moved to LA and quickly started working…. playing on records for Bon Jovi,(Runaway), John Waite, and Rick Springfield. He joined Ricks band and toured the world for four years.
