Timbaland

Timothy Zachery Mosley, known professionally as Timbaland, is an American record producer, rapper, singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Norfolk, Virginia, he is widely acclaimed for his distinctive production work and "stuttering" rhythmic style. In 2007, Entertainment Weekly stated that "just about every current pop trend can be traced back to him—from sultry, urban-edged R&B songstresses [...] to the art of incorporating avant-garde sounds into No. 1 hits." He has won four Grammy Awards from 22 nominations. Timbaland's first major production credit was on the album Ginuwine... the Bachelor by R&B singer Ginuwine. Further commercial success on his following productions—including Aaliyah's album One in a Million and Missy Elliott's album Supa Dupa Fly —made him a sought-after producer for R&B and hip-hop acts. He performed as a recording artist himself while doing so, releasing three albums as part of the Virginia-based hip-hop duo Timbaland & Magoo, along with his debut solo album, Tim's Bio.
