I'm a 16-year-old singer songwriter living in London. I get inspiration from traveling, exploring and discovering new places and I'll vlog about everything from busking on street corners, recording new music and my travels here.

[@mossrose2113]

How'd it go?

[@hydrangeasmilesvanessa1708]

i cant even get in a lift by myself and u be travelling around London as if it's all in ur palm 😂

[@aidenwinter1117]

Man you're so lucky to have parents who don't object to your interests, busking in particular. I'm the same age as you and whenever I mention something in front of my parents about wanting to busk they always say "no you should focus on your a-levels"

[@gonzalorodolfocuenca1694]

Thanx Tim!!

[@AlisaMarie]

this is so helpful, I have so much gear when busking I feel like I need a trailer or something to carry it all. a suitcase is a great idea thanks!

[@yaronyahav656]

This was super helpful mate! Thank you very much! I'll definitely be picking up the mic and Roland cube for my busking adventures. Cheers!

[@coffinkid5232]

That's actually a great setup! Especially using the Pickup on a non electric acoustic. I'm 17 and have been Busking in the U.S for about 5 years now, I might be considering to switch over some of my gear to this stuff. And especially that Amp and pickup setup.

[@coffinkid5232]

@Rohit Fusion 3 years later, I'm now a sound engineer for a studio and am composing my first album. Cheers from the U.S 🍻

[@mpilatte]

Thanks so much for this vid, that was literally all I needed to learn! Also, great editing!

[@melroberts7987]

Improvise! Adapt!..Overcome!

[@ifwecouldvote]

Cheers lad! Great video, and u got a lot of talent and drive! Hope all goes well for your music career!

[@BaliInsiderGuide]

At last a real busking Vlog

[@philpants44]

I'm hoping to go busking for the first time next week, this is pretty much exactly the same kinda set up i have. The battery powered Roland is a god send! such a great little amp and with rechargeable batteries its just so convenient.

[@annukurios]

Keep on doing it coleg, I'd love to busk in London.

[@mckayman24]

2:22 How on earth does the coin move like that!

[@mfz7964]

amazing keep going I really enjoyed your video

[@MusicCatElliott]

Haha! The scarf.. love it. Very resourceful 😂 Great video - inspiring

[@eosulliv8]

Nice vibe and video...goodluck to ya.

[@martylegray1575]

Great video, thank you

[@loganpwood6845]

Loved the video man very cool setup and want to maybe try busking soon

[@TimNewman1]

Thank you so much do it !

[@awesamanimations6247]

Did you end up trying it?

[@nedtaramoeroa1704]

Thanks for the Tips

[@onemanmusic6572]

Cheers!

[@BillieSky]

nice dude. im wanting to add drums and bass to my busking with a looper

[@buskerbuddy2108]

Great video Tim!

[@TimNewman1]

Thanks so much !

[@collateralmusic328]

Nice video Tim!

[@brendancoote3085]

Nice informative video. Well done

[@stowjer]

Great ingenuity with the strap mate! Love that shit 👍

[@actiontw6653]

NICE!

[@micharquette9321]

Great pickups - how do you set yours? Any tips on the string gauge or type - looking for a deeper softer acoustic sound dry without effect.

[@Bryt25]

Thanks Tim, you post is much appreciated. Love the 'Macgyver moment'! :-)

[@pitruckerstaeuropa878]

Nice busking gear stay connected❤😊

[@mikegeeguitarman8991]

what a fab video. Very interesting and well filmed .Good luck with your busking son from Mike in Yorkshire

[@babbalouie3074]

Would suggest considering (depending on your budget, and dedication) an AER compact mobile for your PA. After many years playing music on the street have found it produces the best tone of any other battery powered PA I have heard or owned. Works great for regular club gigs as well. Peace

[@TimNewman1]

Thanks man ! will look into it £

[@ZappRoyce]

Hey I've got a street cube EX and want to hook it up with another Street cube EX but I am wondering would it better to link it up with a street cube bass EX as the street cube EX has no bass ?

[@louisrutten7437]

I Pay at a Farmers market in the US every Saturday morning, in the summer what became a nice site income. Use the same amp and pickup. Best thing is the young kids that can't keep there eyes on you .

[@xx_PCCR_xx]

Nice vid. Kudos for that DIY strap ;)

[@michaelgrosz27]

were do you plug it in do you have a battery or are there plugs there

[@FEARDROP]

Loved it! Thank you so much for all the details! Greetings from Germany :) just won a new subscriber.

[@Bleedingpollen]

It's so cool that you have so much confidence to vlog in public :D

[@TimNewman1]

Thank you !

[@BayaniMagtanggol]

yeah people think it's easy but i guess you gotta have a thick skin to eat those humiliating moments out

[@distearns]

Thanks! Just starting out.

[@kasmeneyes2227]

we are millenials, it's in our genes

[@23coburn]

Tim, does the amp rework on battery and hardwired to a source? Thank you! Good on ya mate.....

[@smilecity3277]

Hi. Thanks for the video. How does it make the sound do not fit with the volume so loud?

[@KateMcDougallMusic]

What size/dimensions are the suitcase you use? I’ve done some busking myself but I need a suitcase or something to make it easier to transport my equipment.

[@cecinadirectioner99]

I liked the video as soon as I saw the dog ngl👀😂 great video as alwaysss! x

[@TimNewman1]

LifeAsCeCe hahah, her names Nala 🐶thank you!!

[@tarenceyubat5857]

Nice,,keep it up yawh

[@LonskiBig]

...Busking....!!!

[@dominicmarsh4170]

Hey! Nice video. Just a few questions. When you busk, do you have a set of songs that you know really well, and you play those when you go out to busk, or do you learn how to play different songs every time? Awesome video, and good wishes form Australia!

[@simonerochellemusic]

You’re guitar just on the pavement aghhhh 🙊😫

[@oldschoolcockneylover8138]

good vid just a shame we didn't get to see you sing!

[@4ekoko781]

Hi tim do u use the street cube or street cube ex?

[@user-xg3uz7sj3g]

would you recommand a Carrier bag for amp street ex?

[@jakebernard]

Well I'm a little late to the party haha but dude can't even begin to tell you how helpful this was -- THANK you! Sweet voice, guitar chops & songwriting too -- threw you a follow/subscribe all over the web. Good to see so much positive reception around your work dude! Did you use a Go Pro for the filming??

[@billwilliams6338]

what rechargeable battery can I use to power my fender or marshall guitar amp so i can play out on the street?

[@henryhulstone5109]

Hi tim, im a busker i was just wondering what you use to record your self (KZbin videos and whilst play through amps outside) thanks henry.

[@mariaugapo8273]

Wooh! How much did equipment cost, im on a budget and trying to buy some decent gear

[@robinanuolinlin1815]

i rly enjoyed watching your video. you're so cool and creative! i wanna busk too. did you just plug your mic into the amp? i wanna know how its usually done ^^

[@annikabohm2291]

Teath brush at the train nice😂😂

[@TimNewman1]

:))

[@Calamity531]

What did u use to power your amp?

[@MrDukeSilverr]

Damn, that Taylor looks nice, would you recommend it?

[@finn3677]

another great video Tim! how you finding the daily videos?

[@TimNewman1]

Bro, thanks! It's a stretch but a good one

[@saurabhpatil6137]

Brooo plz tell ke which PA r u using?

[@timrijal9596]

Hey buddy which amp is it you are using here for busking?

[@elijahmyers5474]

How do you power your amp?

[@janekmo]

How do you power it?

[@jackspicer3777]

You need to do day to day vlogs

[@thaddeusfernandes6651]

What's is the exact model of the cube street ex

[@AlbertV.Crisostomo]

How about the electric supply? Is it rechargable?

[@saurabhpatil6137]

Bro which mic u r using?

[@yourtub8705]

Yooo what did you use to record?

[@KATIE_LOU]

💚💚💚

[@Hellyers]

[@TimNewman1]

Hellyers Thanks Dave, haha

[@sigagabrielpassos]

👏👏👏

[@Yash-wb2rm]

Love form India 🇮🇳 brother ...

[@exolay7355]

Your amp has battery built in?

[@elijah_Meijer]

How do you power the amp

[@jacobseidman8269]

Gosh keeping water in the suitcase with the amp in there ...I would be balancing the water bottles on my head the whole way back before i did that

[@mikewilliams258]

You've got a soft case there so you put your nice Taylor guitar on the pavement with no protection? Jeez!

[@druh3067]

yupp yupp yuppy

[@TimNewman1]

They actually have a lot of padding, Mike - built into it! Very good cases.

[@jules1553]

@@TimNewman1 whooooosh

[@jh-eg7iq]

Rude. A tool is meant to be used. Ever built a house with a hammer but never hit anything with it? Whoosh. Is also about a 400$ guitar.. use it how ever you want maaan. Great video Tim.

[@jackevans185]

Tim Newman what case do you have I’m a 15 year okd busker and I want to get a good case rather than my thin padding case but I want someone’s opinion first

[@savannahnicolemusic]

What are you using to record when traveling without holding it

[@TimNewman1]

GoPro in my mouth :)

[@brotherdambks9675]

Hello Tim I am a tourist could I play music as a busker in London?

[@naishenmusic]

Nice vid! What do you do if you need to go to the toilets? you pack all your stuff?

[@karesz23]

You go to the toilet before you start

[@StephenMendes]

Hi Tim..... I admire you...... I subscribed..... and I have a Cube Street just like yours but in my review I did not say pleasant things about it...... I do have a question for you.... do you use rechargeable batteries in your Cube Street ?? ..... I find that the slightly lower voltage of the NiMh rechargeable batteries causes distortion when the volume is turned up (does not happen with new alkaline batteries or when running on the power adapter) ..... my outdoor rig is a Fender KXR60 running on an inverter from my vehicle cigarette lighter and it's not 'portable'..... I could not walk around with it the way you travel with your stuff..... but I am doing drums, bass, keyboard and vocals..... I was really disappointed with Cube Street although it may be cool for just guitar and vocals depending on the noise level around you.

[@junsaiba79]

What do you recomend sir?

[@orenmarzuk]

Hey man Why did you choose the non ex version? Thanks

[@arthurgentil9869]

Hey Tim, it's great to see a teenager this talented! very inspiring. (even thou I am 27 haha) Is there a reason you didn't get the GS mini e, instead of your GS mini ? Second question : is your top rosewood? standard? mahogany? Asking all this because I am hesitating between some travel guitars, aspecially this GS Mini and a Martin Dreadnought Junior. Keep up the good work !

[@TimNewman1]

Hey Arthur ! Hope you're doing well and i do apologise for the delayed reply! Thank you so much man! When i got the taylor i dont think the E had come out yet so thats why also im not actually sure what top mine is ! I would HIGHLY recommend the Taylor!

[@JakeFields92]

Is it also good for electric guitar you think? And also can you connect pedals?

[@racheltattersall337]

An electric guitar plugs in. You need to try out different amps to find one that suits your guitar. If you have single coil pickups like in most Fenders than you can get a look of hum. If you have a Gibson style guitar or one with humbuckers you’re less likely to get this. Basically, take your guitar into a music shop and try it out with different amps before you buy one.

[@JakeFields92]

Rachel T for sure thanks man!

[@annikabohm2291]

You life in Surrey right?✌

[@PlanetYokoshima]

Hi exquisite person, good luck on busking. I would like to know the name of the device that you used for your acoustic to connect with the cube. Thanks, dear.

[@amanjaden31]

❤😊

[@johnaustin1825]

Cube 5W or 50W?

[@meetimian3383]

Would have been better if there were links to the products used

[@Banzo_]

I remember I was in dire need of a strap and I used a string as thin as dental floss and it held up for weeks😂

[@julianaley1109]

Hi this is really random, but I just wanna say that I've experienced jamming with a busker earlier and I'm really sad cause I was so nervous that I messed up everything 😢 if you see this comment hope you can give me some advice or tips about singing infront of many people

[@LuckyBij]

Can you upload the instrumentals to your songs please I love Lift You When You’re Low and Lost on Purpose I’d love to cover them

[@aceambroseofficial]

Hey dude, what kind of case do you use to carry the amp?

[@TimNewman1]

Hey! It's a case by Tripp luggage

[@aceambroseofficial]

Tim Newman cheers :)

[@ionsorinporojan149]

Hi !!! You are very skilled kid ! I have three questions for you ... 1. Do you have or need a busking licence ??? 2. How much do you stay and busk in one place ? 3. How much money do you earn in a day ? Thank you in advance !!! Sorin / keyboard busker in all the EUROPE

[@guitaristssuck8979]

The 3rd is the most annoying question ever

[@Adam-bu3fh]

I'm curious. How much do you make busking? I am not brave enough to do it yet but I hope to one day

[@TimNewman1]

I have quite a few videos talking about it but my newest video on the channel talks about how I make money in 9 ways - could be a cool one to check out if you want more info!!

[@TimNewman1]

And thanks for watching!

[@alexguez07]

Hello brother, I need your help, I just started playing on the street, just with that same amplifier and I need a saber as you do to connect it, since I use it with AA batteries but they do not last long and I would like to know otherwise what I can use, thanks.

[@jackevans185]

Alejandro Domínguez Music what amp uses batteries

[@CoachRonandBaru]

@@jackevans185 The Rolands do. But like he said, they don't last long. Maybe 6 hours worth. Less if you use it for guitar and vocals.

[@georgejohnson7591]

I have 3 sets of rechargeable batteries, plenty for a days worth of play (and more)

[@trevorbyron8181]

Cool..you made it...how bout a video on actual gig

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

How long does the charger last?

[@TimNewman1]

+MrJoeyBoombotz on the amp ? It runs off AA BATTERIES & they're pretty good - tend to last about 11-20 hours

[@BenjamiinGrace]

Great video Tim, but where on earth did you spit your tooth paste when you where in that elevator :-)

[@BenjamiinGrace]

Oooooooooooooooh, k.

[@fracguerra2714]

Hi! Sorry to disturb, but I really need an advice. I need a battery and an inverter that can power three amps, one for bass e and two for electric guitars (boss katana 50 mkII and Marshall code 50), and also a speaker for a microphone. I know nothing about this things so if someone could tell me the specifics that the battery has to have, he would make me a big favour. (Sorry for the bad english)

[@damianandrade634]

who else almost died seeing his guitar on the ground and him grabbing it like that? get a guitar stand!

[@admit8318]

thats Taylor guitar ... cmon !!! :(

[@kayakchrispy]

Relicing is cool

[@tonyt.michaels4814]

Respect your instrument.

[@justinchen6580]

I USE THE SAME CASE

[@TimNewman1]

Justin Chen ayyy its a good one

[@benni832]

I know that I'm a bit late but would you mind telling me which size exactly it is?
