Timothy Jay Nordwind (born June 28, 1976) is the bassist and vocalist for the American rock band OK Go.
[edit] Biography
Nordwind was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan (where he attended Loy Norrix High School) before moving to Chicago, Illinois in the late '90s. In Chicago, Nordwind, Dan Konopka, and Andy Duncan formed a band called, Stanley's Joyful Noise , which was heavily influenced by D.C. punk rock. The trio, along with Damian Kulash, Nordwind's childhood friend who moved to Chicago from Washington D.C., formed the band, OK Go in 1998. He is the cousin of Joe Hammer, who lives in Takoma Park
Nordwind became OK Go's official lip-syncher for their homemade choreographed videos such as "A Million Ways" and "Here It Goes Again" even though Kulash is the actual lead singer. It is highly possible this trend was borne out of the band's touring hit "C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips", whereby the band would dance on stage to a similarly choreographed routine, and Tim would sing; as he originally did on the record.
