Tim Sexton is an American producer, music supervisor, and environmental entrepreneur. Noted for events and initiatives which integrate pop culture and social activism, he produced the No Nukes and Live 8 concerts, and was an architect of "Feel the Power," the precursor to Rock the Vote. He is the principal of the Make Good Group, a company he founded in 2003 to advise corporate clients on sustainability, social responsibility, and brand strategy. Go Green, the environmental program Sexton designed for the Philadelphia Eagles, is considered a model of sustainability.
Sexton served as the music supervisor for dozens of films, including Madonna's Desperately Seeking Susan, and Rush, which featured Eric Clapton's Grammy Award-winning "Tears in Heaven."
The oldest of 11 children, Sexton was born in Buffalo, New York to Jane Marie Sexton, an artist, and Robert Sexton, an NBA general manager and basketball coach. The family moved to San Diego in 1960 after Robert Sexton accepted a position as the athletic director at the University of San Diego.
Sexton began his career in production with the Ice Follies-Holiday on Ice. He was involved in all of the tasks related to the show’s production, including stage management, where he discovered an affinity for stage and lighting design. Throughout the 1970s, he served as a lighting designer, production consultant, production manager or tour manager for dozens of stadium and arena tours for artists including Poco, America, The Rolling Stones, Jackson Browne, Diana Ross and others.
Based in Los Angeles, Sexton was active in social, political, and environmental issues. In 1979, he was recruited to produce No Nukes, composed of five shows at Madison Square Garden (which featured Crosby Stills and Nash, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, James Taylor, among others) and an outdoor rally which drew more than 200,000 people on the then-empty landfill section of Battery Park.
