Tim Skold was born on December 14, 1966 in Skövde, a small city in Västergötland, Sweden. Tim met guitarist Harry Cody at a New Year’s Eve party and they formed a creative partnership which would last for many years to come.
During the early 80’s, bassist Tim Tim (changing his name from Tim Sköld ) and guitarist Harry Cody formed the glam rock band Kingpin in their native Skövde, Sweden, inspired by the flamboyant hard rock bands flowing out of L.A. and UK acts such as Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Zodiac Mindwarp.
The band kicked off their career with a 7” single titled “Shout It Out” (which hit #1 back in Sweden) in 1987 after drafting vocalist Zinny J. San and drummer Stixx Galore a short time later. Kingpin released their only Swedish album “Welcome To Bop City” 12” LP the following year and later uprooted to L.A. and changed their name to Shotgun Messiah.
Discovered and signed by Cliff Cultreri at Relativity Records Kingpin changed their name to Shotgun Messiah (due to a San Francisco-based band holding the rights to the name Kingpin), remixed and re-packaged the album, and self-titled it as their international debut in 1989.
Zan was let go soon after having MTV smash hits such as “Don’t Care ‘Bout Nothin’” and “Shout It Out” whilst the band was in progress of making a follow up to their debut self-titled album. They hired a new bassist, Bobby Lycon, from New York, and on Harry Cody’s suggestion Tim Tim took on the lead vocals.

I never liked the fact that Skold was part of Marilyn Manson (Since I though Twiggy was way better), but on his own and with KMFDM / MDFMK I sure like his music!
