Personal Life

Tim was often encouraged by his parents from a young age, eventually developing a caring nature for the poor and homeless. Every Christmas, his father would run a lunch outreach at the church for the elderly, the homeless and those without families, to which Tim and his brother, Pete, would assist in different ways. Over the years, Hughes' desire to help those in poverty has grown.

At the age of 19, Hughes was approached by Mike Pilavachi and asked to lead worship at the Christian festival Soul Survivor. Some time later, he married his fiancé, Rachel. The two are currently expecting their first child.

Other well known tracks of his include "Beautiful One"; "Jesus, You Alone"; "Consuming Fire"; and "Whole World in His Hands".
