Jewel Timo have written, produced and released music for film&TV on divers labels worldwide , toured around the globe as solo artist and guest musician with Michael Sembello, Kim Sanders, Howard Donald, Alle Farben, Bed and Breakfast, George Clinton, Don Peake, Helge Schneider and many more. After enjoying many years of experiences resulting from collaborations, Jool decided to unite a pool of musicians, composers, producers, engineers amongst other creatives and called his mission “Good Luck Recordings”.
A name not without reason. Fashion labels took his style ideas into collections, filmmakers into movies, musicians took over concepts that made them successful, song titles entered the charts, which complied in collaborations delegated by him.
An example for his passionate teamwork is the ZDF co-produced TV Series “Familie Braun”. The  production team trusted Jool shortly before release and asked for help in completing the soundtrack. Jool composed, produced and supervised a part of the soundtrack. In late 2017 the series won the International Emmy Award in addition to the German Comedy Award amongst other awards.

Back in the years in 2010/11 Jewel Timo´s song “Alive” went viral after Vampire Diaries fans heard it in a TV and Youtube advertising campaign. The track received a lot of attention, perhaps too much,  the Vampire Diaries production company deleted their promo video with the TV spot on YouTube, after 100s of people asked who the artist was who sings Alive, (the track was uncredited).”Alive” written, performed, produced and mixed by Jool was 10 years old when it was used in the US series. One example of the sustainability of his work. Further back in 2000, Jool received an invitation from the recently founded label Big Brother Recordings of the Oasis Gallagher brothers. Lots of Potential expressed interest to their label management and offered to sign Jool but he already had a partnership with EMI Publishing Germany same time. Joolś  business partner recommended initially concentrating on the German market.

In 2006,  17-year-old Adele wrote to Jool on Myspace: “I love your weird style”. Same time Amanda Myles wrote: “Total entertainment!” Also John Mc Laughlin recognized his special talent : “Great music.”

With his ideas and innovations, Jool inspires a wide variety of genres and generations, mostly subtly and subconsciously, because he avoids the media. That’s why there are almost no interviews or press releases about him on the Internet.
Many artists and people felt inspired by his appearance and his music after meeting the gender fluid artist, including Anthony Kiedis, who adapted his haircut 1:1 back in the years.
A German feature article once described Jool as the ultimate underground star, writing: Cool, cooler, Jool!

Jool has worked with various artists and colleagues and has been involved in some  international chart successes.
He lent his guitar riffs to remixes and also inspired DJ artists such as Robin Schulz, who once played at a Jool event. Jool has performed live with Howard Donald , Mousse T, Alle Farben, Spencer Parker, Moonbootica, Timati, Plastic Funk amongst others.

In the early 2000s he invented a new show concept in which he improvised with guitar and voice to house & electro DJ sets and created new songs live in front of the audience. He spontaneously remixed well-known classics at parties around the world, inspiring new styles in the process. His typical rock & dance style is one of his trademarks.

His androgynous clothing style also continually gives new impulses to fashion trends and inspires different artists and industries. He became a resident artist for MTV and Red Bull in a time before social media became a hype.
For a long time, gold leggings, a cowboy hat, sunglasses day and night, and unique beard creations made up the appearance of a science fiction rocker. Nail polish and high heels are also part of his unmistakable style.
Jool has never displayed his penchant for extravagance in a populist way, but always in a satirical way, underlined his authenticity and always placed his mission for freedom and peace at the center. Unobtrusive, without artificial hype, he has been giving fans worldwide great joy ever since as an independent artist.  Jool is an original who also dresses in private, as he does on stage.
He has been singing his own compositions mostly himself, and slipping into a wide variety of voices mostly with a satirical edge.
His songs have been used in further successful TV series and films such as Scream a little Dream -Lost Girl or Sherlock -The empty hearse, Justice League. His comedic talent is particularly evident here, which ultimately led him to join the Helge Schneider Band in 2023. There he picked up the electric bass and became the touring bassist for Helges “Der letzte Torero” tour.

JOOLs music is divers as his appearance itself. You can describe it as a Tarantino adventure road trip, dirty bluesy mixes with futuristic genre eclectic and always a flirt with the future and the past same time. Everything might happen, Deep House teams up with psychedelic slide Rock, flamenco with crying wah-wah E-guitar, 80s pop meets future dance, House Electro meets Rock, Bossa Nova flirting with Hip-Hop.

Nature always played a leading role in Jool’s life. So he always stood up for her. Extraordinary 1000 km nature trips by bike in early childhood included. Sometimes he went spontaneous on European road trips with his band projects to get inspiration for new songs and ideas. Again and again, the artist is inspired by traveling to unusual places to new music concepts and compositions.
