Biography

Raised in Toronto and Hamilton, Liam was surrounded by music throughout his childhood. His first public performance was at the age of two, when he joined his father, Brent Titcomb, on stage to play the ukulele. By the age of five, Liam joined his father at gigs as a backup singer and percussionist. At seven, he picked up the Cajun fiddle. An apprentice of Oliver Schroer, it wasn't long before Liam was playing folk festivals. By the age of twelve, he was performing on various instruments as an opening act and not soon after landed his own shows. Liam also spent several years playing steel pan with the award-winning Afropan Steelband at Toronto's Caribana festival. Today, Liam plays guitar, bass, piano, steel pan and drums. In 2003, Liam contributed the song "War" to the benefit album "Peace Songs" in support of War Child Canada's humanitarian programs.

On February 1st, 2005, Liam released his self-titled debut album, produced by Grammy winner Bill Bottrell (Sheryl Crow, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Five for Fighting). Both of the two singles from the album reached the top 20 charts on Hot AC radio, the song "Sad Eyes" reaching number 9.

At the Juno’s in 2004, Liam delivered a memorable performance at the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) Songwriters' Circle. In 2006, Liam was nominated for the 9th Annual Canadian Radio Music Awards for Best New Group Or Solo Artist (Hot AC).

After months of hard work Liam released his second album entitled "Can't Let Go" (Double Dorje Records) on June 5, 2007. Recorded in Nashville in the fall of 2006 and produced by Grammy winner Jay Joyce (Patty Griffin, The Wallflowers), the album features musical cameos by singer/songwriter Damhnait Doyle (of Shaye) and harmonica player Mickey Raphael (of Willie Nelson's band). Liam is currently touring to support his new record.
