Footloose" was asked by a local studio owner to record a song he'd written. That song "
Leaving for Maui" shot to the top of the Canadian charts, and became one of the most requested songs of the year in Hawaii.
In 1986, Tim entered a songwriting contest sponsored by the legendary producer
David Foster (

Whitney Houston) taking first place and signed with Scotti Bros/CBS in Los Angeles where he relocated later that year. The self-titled debut album "
Tim Feehan" was released in 1987 and gained five A.R.I.A. (Alberta Recording Industry Association) awards including "Best Pop Performance" and "Producer of the Year". The first single "
Where's the Fire" was chosen as the theme song for the
Charlie Sheen motion picture debut and cult favorite
The Wraith. In 1987, Tim also won the Canadian Academy of Arts & Sciences
