Tim Sköld was born on December 14, 1966, in Skövde, a small city in Västergötland, Sweden. The 5'10" blonde has just one sibling, a sister named Linda. Tim grew up in a very liberal setting as the son of a 15 year old Mother and a Father trying to get by as a semi professional drummer. At age 11, Tim was motivated to get in a playback band. Tim's band would play for people at school meetings with Kiss, David Bowie and Sweet songs playing on a cassette player.
