On June 22, 1970, Timothy Christopher Wayne was born to Gary and Faye Archer of Sarnia, Ontario. Tim's parents both worked hard to support their family of three children.

In the early 1960's Gary and Faye owned and operated the 'Candystick Lounge' in downtown Sarnia. The lounge featured many top acts such as the Platters, Bobby Lewis and Sharon Loness. Both had a great love of music and dance. Gary performed in many area venues with his warm 'Jim Reeves' baritone style, always with the loving support of his wife Faye.

Tim began to sing and perform at the age of three for family and friends at neighborhood gatherings and family parties. Tim's parents would often tell the story of Tim singing 'Last of the Red Hot Lovers' by Donny Osmond, to any or everyone who would listen. By the early age of sixteen, Tim had made a name for himself in the Sarnia area as a top singer and performer. Among his many early achievements, Tim performed to an outdoor concert for 40,000 people for 'Sarnia Downtown Days'. The music consisted of a wide variety featuring hits from the fifties up to the present. Many people commented that day on Tim's stage presence as being one of the best and most energetic performances they've seen. His unique ability of picking up tunes and lyrics after hearing a piece only a few times had made him an instant success at a wide range of gospel, country and classic events.

At the age of nineteen, Tim released a cassette of twelve songs from the 50's and 60's era, and were sold at most of the music stores in Sarnia area. Tim became part of a regular rotation on the CHOK and the FOX FM radio stations in the Lambton area. Fox Fm once had a website entitled 'The Lambton Leaders' which a feature of Tim was placed among some their top Canadian performers such as Kim Mitchell and James Doohan, 'Scotty' from Star Trek. The cassette had sold out to great reviews from local fans.

Other achievements during this time were Canada's 'London to Memphis', a competition where Tim had placed second out of the top five finalists. He had also placed second in the 'Budweiser’s Canada Star Search'. Both competitions were much to the same respect of today's music searches like 'American Idol' and 'Canadian Idol'.

With the aid and support of his parents, in the late 80's Tim started a successful Sarnia car club called 'The Nifty Fifties and Sixties' displaying a wide variety of classic and vintage cars to the public. The club was a non-profit organization, featuring a number of yearly events designed for the betterment of the Sarnia area and local charities. Tim was able to use his creativity and performing talents to bring prosperous recognition to it.

Tim and his parents traveled to Nashville, Tennessee twice in the early 1990's and during a visit to Loretta Lynn's ranch, Tim was given the opportunity to sing with Loretta Lynn's daughter, Patsy Lynn. That led the Lynn family sponsoring Tim to sing on stage at the Grand Ole Opry in their Friday and Saturday shows, where he was encouraged backstage by Skeeter Davis.

Tim performed at Bad Bob's Vapors Bar, a Nashville hot spot, and sang with both Phoebe Lewis, cousin of Jerry Lee Lewis, and The Kentucky Head Hunters. He had also performed at the Mickey Gillies Bar in Nashville, another entertainment hot spot. Several songs were performed as a woman in the audience made several request for Tim to sing Patsy Cline, Hank Locklin, and Ricky Nelson. He sang all of the requested songs to great applause, unbenouced to Tim, the woman in the audience was none other than Lorrie Morgan, daughter of Grand Ole Opry star George Morgan. In 1992, Tim was offered an opportunity to sing for Capital Records. Unfortunately, his mother Faye, his biggest number one fan, had passed away during this time of breast cancer. For three years after, Tim had organized and performed in the Sarnia area at fundraising events for the Breast Cancer Society in memory of Faye Archer.

After moving north of Sarnia to Owen Sound in 1994, another trip had followed to Nashville, where Tim performed at many local venues and fundraisers. Then in 2000 Tim released locally his self titled CD 'ARCHER' a tribute to some of his parents favourite songs of the 50's, 60's and country artists.

In 2008, an Executive from RCA records in New York was visiting the Owen Sound, area, giving Tim the opportunity for a live audition. This opened a new door for Tim and his newly emotional inspired music. One Fan said 'For the first time I saw Tim 'ARCHER' shine on stage'. This audition included two pre-released songs, Cheatin' On Me ' and 'Blue of the Sky' (written as a love song by Tim's late father Gary to his loving wife Faye in 1961). Both hit #7 on the global country artists charts at www.reverbnation.com. Also these songs have placed him in the 'Featured Artist' spotlight for a week, gaining him even more great reviews and recognition that this truly inspirational singer deserves.

Late 2008 and early 2009, 'Archer' began a new chapter working in the studio to compile a full CD entitled 'Blue of the Sky' which was released mid 2009. The heart-felt material on this CD is all original and written by ‘Archer’ and a fellow singer/songwriter Scott Morrow of New York. The journey has begun …

October 2009, to the requests of his fans, 'Archer' released a Christmas CD, a compilation of traditional songs, entitled 'I'll Be Home'. 'Avenue A' recording studio assisted in the production of the CD that brought Warmth and Comfort to avid listeners during the Holiday Season. "Oh Holy Night" and "I'll be Home for Christmas", "Blue Christmas", to name a few.

'Archer' has now made waves in the music and film industry writing, arranging, and recording all original and new material with the love and warmth of the "Legends from the past". After years of performing and singing his life experiences have enhanced his abilities to dramatically allow for a greater range and depth of emotions revealing themselves in his performances.

Today, Archer continues to perform for his devoted and loyal fans to sold-out success.
