Tim Camrose is stepping back into music with purpose. His latest single, ‘Light in the Dark’, released on September 19th, represents more than just a return to the studio — it’s a reflection of personal experience, deep empathy, and an artistic voice shaped over decades outside the spotlight.
Originally appearing on his debut album Half of My Life in 2022, the song has now been re-released with fresh vocals and a powerful feature by the Collectives Gospel Choir. Their contribution adds a stirring emotional layer to the track, echoing the depth of his earlier collaboration on ‘Fly Again’.
Tim’s story is far from conventional. Before devoting himself to music, he built a career as a surgeon and academic. It was during this time that he treated homeless youth who had suffered violence — an experience that left an enduring impression and now serves as the foundation for the song’s poignant message.
“You don’t want my pity, just a chance to show the world what you can do,” he sings, capturing the heart of the song’s message: human dignity in the face of hardship. The timing of the release, aligned with World Homeless Day, further emphasizes this intentional act of advocacy through art. 
Now retired from medicine, Camrose channels inspiration from the likes of Elton John and Bruce Springsteen to write and perform songs that explore resilience, dreams, and identity. His forthcoming project, American Stories, delves into his long-standing connection to U.S. cities and his aspirations to one day perform in Nashville.
With ‘Light in the Dark’, Tim Camrose proves that meaningful music can emerge at any stage in life — especially when it’s rooted in real-life purpose.
