The Big Takeover: Interview: Tim Ayre
Tim Ayre first rose to fame as half of the duo Tim & Jean before striking out on his own with a self-titled solo EP in November 2019. The sunny, highly melodic songs resonated with listeners, who’ve given that release well over a million streams to date. Now Ayre is back with another batch of catchy tracks, releasing a five-song EP, Modern Life, in mid-June via Kitsuné Musique. During a Zoom call from his Sydney home, Ayre discusses how and why he makes this type of uplifting music. You have a very sunny vibe that’s distinctive. How did you come up with that as your sound?
