Tim Harding

He has a knack for putting smiles on children’s faces, not just in his native Australia but across the globe. As one-fifth of the original Hi-5 formed in 1998, Tim has delighted young fans with unforgettable children’s entertainment and live performances, bagging ARIAs five times and the Logies three times.  He has been instrumental as a member of the only act in history to have won five consecut ive awards in the same category and has outsold notable Aussie exports such as Kylie Minogue and AC/DC at London’s famous Apollo Theatre.

A natural entertainer as a child, Tim immediately took to acting and performing as a professional musician with his band Compos Mentis once he left high school in 1995 until he was earmarked to be part of Hi-5 three years later. Tim has since leveraged his Hi-5 celebrity status for worthy causes and public service campaigns such as RTA Drink Driving educational video, entitled “ A Time To

Choose” and CentreLink’s Youth Allowance Campaign. His performing career was put on hiatus in 2007 when Tim was involved in a serious motorcycle accident but while recuperating, he helmed a new startup, Obsidion Productions, as writer, director, producer as well as business manager.
