Timothy ‘TDC’ Coleman was born in Dayton, Ohio, raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, and has become a native of the Bronx, New York. While in college, TDC performed with the Scarlet & Cream Singers. The group was one of the top ranked college show choirs, and was comprised of performers who have now gone on to perform on Broadway, Cruise Ships, Television and Film. TDC went on to perform at Worlds of Fun, in the ‘TIVOLI Theatre’ shows, in Kansas City, Mo, and then moved to New York to complete college. At the time, TDC only had one great-aunt living in Hempstead, Long Island, and on weekends he would go out to the Island in order to visit her and learn more about his family tree. TDC comes from a long line of musicians, educators, writers, and service men & women of the United States of America. TDC also has family members who are working professionally; within the music industry, and the world of sports. After graduating from school, TDC quickly went to work with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and Cunard Cruise Lines on various ships that took him on tours around the World. While at sea, he honed his performance skills and developed a one-man cabaret show, ‘A Tribute to “Nat King Cole.” Overall, TDC has performed in some of the most highlighted venues within the Regional Theatre community. He performed in ‘5 Guys Named Moe’ at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival; the operetta, ‘The Most Happy Fella’ at the St. Louis Rep & the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park; as well as performing the role of tap-dancing ‘No Moe’ in the TheatreViginia’s production of ‘5 Guys Named Moe’, directed and choreographed by Kent Dash. TDC performed in the First National Tour of the Tony Award Winning Musical 'RENT,' and also in the Broadway production as the character of Benny. He then joined the cast of the Broadway Smash Hit musical, 'Jekyll and Hyde' in the role of Jack. In 2001, TDC's song, "Stop by Monies" was on the Grammy Nominated Album, 'Here's the Deal' by Jazz/Funk band, Liquid Soul. In support of the album, the song was performed live on 'The Today Show' as the group toured the country in support of the album. 'Stop by Monies' was just one of a series of musical highlights in TDC's musical career. When the opportunity came to perform in an independent film, it was a no-brainer. TDC performed the role of Joey Linden, a guitarist in a rock band who has to decide between the drugs and the music, life or death, in the Independent Film, 'The Rock that Made Us.' The film debuted at the Mid-West Film Festival to great reviews. The movie was produced by Skyline Entertainment and Directed by Daniel B. Iske.
