Who is the creator of Chinese Buddy?

Tim, a professional composer from America/New Zealand, is the mysterious songwriter behind the videos. He spent over 13 years in Taiwan, where he became fluent in Mandarin Chinese. Some of the colloquial in his videos may be from the Taiwanese vernacular system.

Chinese Buddy is a huge passion of his. It brings him great joy to create new Mandarin learning songs and make them available online. Tim hopes that others will share his enthusiasm for the Mandarin language and make Chinese teaching and learning much easier.

Tim is also a university lecturer who has written opera, orchestral, and choral music in addition to over 120 Mandarin education learning songs.
