On the personal side, this artist/producer is an avid bodybuilder committed to a strict diet and training regimen, and as serious about working out as he is about his time in the studio. Confident and charismatic, his goal is to blow listeners’ minds and make them move to the beat. Timbaland’s genre-breaking has changed popular music he takes pride in his success at remaining ahead of the curve with his originality and experimentation. (a production ensemble including Pharrell Williams). Timbaland has had many reincarnations: from disc jockey DJ Tiny Tim to half of the hip hop group Timbaland & Magoo, from being a part of Devante Swing’s Swing Mob crew known as Da Bassment to S.B.I. Russell as a group of New York friends approaching their 30th birthday. Directed by Vanessa Middleton, "30 Years to Life" has an ensemble cast that includes Tracy Morgan, Erika Alexander, Kadeem Hardison, Paula Jai Parker, Melissa DeSousa, Allen Payne, and T.E. On the film front, Timbaland’s indie flick, "30 Years to Life," drew rave reviews at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival and vied for the Grand Jury Prize in the Dramatic category. In 2007, Timbaland released his second solo album, Timbaland Presents ShockValue (Blackground/Interscope/Mosley Music Group). Open to all types of artists, MMG debuted with a bang: Nelly Furtado’s “Promiscuous” featuring Timbaland hit #1, as did her album, Loose.
In 2006 he founded a new label, again at Interscope, appropriately called Mosely Music Group (MMG). He also launched Tweet, who debuted with Southern Hummingbird and produced Lil’ Kim’s “The Jump Off.” The Game relied on Timbaland for “Steer” and “Put You On The Game.”Īlong the way he built an impressive 5,000 square foot studio in Virginia Beach where he does most of his production and he travels regularly between that location, his Miami residence, and the West Coast. He began a new label in partnership with Interscope even as he delivered another three albums for Elliott, including 2005’s The Cookbook. Timbaland’s trademark sound has spawned numerous imitators yet, he has always remained the acknowledged originator. Naturally, Elliott also looked to Timbaland to define her as an artist, and their work together (tracks such as “The Rain”) propelled Elliott to major stardom and critical acclaim. At the same time, his partnership with high school friend Missy Elliott blossomed into a pairing that delivered Aaliyah’s double platinum One In A Million and the two artists became one of music’s most successful production/songwriting teams. His style burgeoned when he produced Ginuwine’s hit single “Pony” and debut LP Ginuwine…the Bachelor. Timbaland introduced a unique rhythmic style that defined the new wave of music in the ‘90s: R&B and hip hop amalgamated with an eclectic smorgasbord of effects held together by complex syncopated snare beats. Respected beyond the genres of urban and hip hop music, Timbaland’s musical influences cross cultural lines: he has been sought by diverse superstars from Justin Timberlake to avant-singer Bjork. His production has helped create career-defining hits for artists such as Jodeci, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Missy Elliott, Destiny’s Child, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z, amongst others. Timbaland has stamped his indelible imprint on the music scene since the mid-1990s. Timbaland also appears on David Guetta's LP Nothing But the Beat on "I Just Wanna F." with Dev and Afrojack. “Pass At Me,” the first official single from the album, features Pitbull with productions by David Guetta and was released on September 13, 2011. Grammy award-winning record producer Timbaland will release his new album, Shock Value III, in 2012.
