Tim Smolens is a young musician, composer and producer. He is most notably known for being the bassist and co-founder of the Santa Cruz based band Estradasphere although he also actively participates in bands Don Salsa, ISS and Secret Chiefs 3.

Smolens also works with Jeff Attridge in a small company known as Game Audio Magic that composes music for interactive media.
