Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tim Steinruck. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Tim, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

I was 13. Growing up in a musical family I was always in a creative environment. We lived in a pretty remote part of Northern Canada and the thing I always looked forward to every week was performing with my family at our country church. Dad was the organist and my Mom was a Sunday School teacher. I loved singing in the choir. We would rehearse these “solos” that we’d perform prior to the sermon. Looking back on it I guess I’ve been in showbiz my entire life.
Besides the choir I also learned the drums and bass guitar, which I also got to perform with my Dad on Sundays but once I got an electric guitar and amplifier things changed. I started to really like bands like KISS. I was accused of listening to the Devil’s music and soon I wasn’t welcome to play at church anymore. I wasn’t really welcome to play at home either because i liked my music pretty loud.
One day I had this great idea to string together 300 feet of extension cord from the barn out to a metal grain silo. That actually was the moment of my true realization of my purpose.
I plugged in that guitar and amp, cranked the volume to 10, and hit my first power chord. My entire world exploded. Sound, frequency and vibration were everywhere. I could actually see the sound as geometric shapes. They reverberated through the metal building, my heart, my soul, and my entire being.
I can’t explain it but it truly was a powerful spiritual experience. I had never been to rock concert but in that moment I had come home to myself. That experience is actually captured in one of my music most popular videos. https://youtu.be/Oel62sybzlI?si=b6CYmCCin9I9Ou2v

Tim, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I sold everything I owned and moved to Vancouver just days after graduation from high school. I knew what I wanted and committed to it even though my parents and every one else thought I was absolutely crazy. Soon after I joined various touring cover bands, and played almost every night as I travelled across North America. It was five years of Rock And Roll University. Truly the School Of Hard Knocks.

But I loved every moment of it and can still feel those feelings of looking out the window of the bus with a sense of peace and knowing that I was exactly where I was supposed to be.
Eventually one of the bands I was in started writing original music and I immersed myself into a completely new realm of creativity. We built a recording studio and after almost no time had recorded some really great songs while rising to the top of the vibrantly growing Vancouver live music community
.
One night KISS was playing in town and we were able to get them a sample of our music. The next day Paul Stanley, lead singer of KISS, called us and invited the band to their show in Seattle to have a meeting. We soon after signed a management deal with him and he secured the band a potential seven figure record deal with Polygram Records.

Dream story. We flew to Los Angeles and recorded all the music for the album but alas, our singer was challenged by a case of nerves and it was never finished. Eventually the music industry evolved and Grunge was born. The band eventually broke up.

I was in emotional free fall. My dream had been ripped away from me. However, I had gained incredible knowledge of songwriting and record production.
So I built my own recording studio and discovered how exercise could regulate depression, I became a fitness instructor and had a spiritual awakening soon after meeting my first wife. I began to explore my spirituality, and it became another source of creative inspiration and I began to host sound healing events.

As with many creatives, financing those projects and lifestyle can be challenging so I chose to start a service business within the Vancouver film industry. Within just a few years it was a seven figure success but my personal life and music career were an absolute disaster. I had lost my way, and soon after I was divorced with a failing business.
However, This is when my life really began. This is when I finally let go.

I rebuilt my business, sold it, remarried and rebuilt myself in order to return to my true purpose and dove deep into training to release emotional blocks. I had built many.

I created a routine of four daily disciplines for myself. They are body movement, conscious breathing, visualization of my goal, and sharing a daily intuitive message to social media. This process has been a miraculous force and is evidenced daily in my life.

I create and produce music for myself and others. I am part of building a record company that services independent artists and builds my network. I am the co-producer/director of a music focussed reality show, and president of a growing independent media company.
As a certified master coach I am passionate in supporting clients release the emotional blocks that have kept them from living the life of their dreams, as i have done for myself with help of great teachers, mentors and coaches.

I am in love with humanity, all of it. The light and it’s darkness. I believe we were born to experience polarity in this human existence, and to overcome it. To to heal it.

It starts with healing ourselves.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

I believe creativity is the purest expression of our soul. By openly sharing our life and our story with the world, we inspire it. It’s true that society is more divided than ever however it is a scientific proven fact that we are all connected, and we are connected to everything else. I believe by taking a macro or universal perspective of this human existence we can better manage the challenges of day to day life. Compassion, tolerance and empathy are the qualities that need to be nurtured.

Gratitude is the key that opens the door to abundance.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

I have been wishing for things all my life. Hoping they would happen. Sometimes they did. But it never stuck. Now I begin every day with a knowing that the goal I visualize in my life already exists.
All I need to is stay committed to my daily disciplines, and powerfully experience the images, thoughts, feelings and body sensations of that goal, take one more step. And suddenly I AM there.

It’s already done.
