Tim Halperin - rising singer/songwriter

I first heard of Tim Halperin when his song, She Runs, was featured on Heineken's Ultimate Playlist. Heineken had a contest on Reverbnation where the winner (artist with the most downloads) would be featured on the page and received a cash prize. Many know of Tim Halperin from American Idol, but he had already established himself as an up-and-coming artist before the reality show. After American Idol, Tim got a boost from influential radio personality, Kidd Kraddick, on 106.1 in Dallas, TX when Kraddick created a segment called "Idol Got It Wrong". Kraddick wanted to prove that Tim should have won American Idol. With help from Kraddick, Tim's career built up momentum. The day after his contract was up with American Idol, he released his debut album, Rise and Fall. The first single off his album is called The Last Song and his album debuted at No. 14 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart. The album also hit #1 on the singer/songwriter chart on iTunes when it was released in September.

It's clear that Tim Halperin is a rising singer/songwriter. He recently opened for Lee Ann Womack and The Fray and has made numerous national appearances. See below for The Last Song music video:
