Timbaland

Super-producer Timbaland has stamped his indelible imprint on the music scene since the mid-1990s. Born Timothy Z. Mosley in Norfolk, Virginia on March 10, 1972, Timbaland’s 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, among many others. Respected beyond the genres of urban and hip hop music, Timbaland, whose musical influences cross cultural lines, has also been sought by diverse superstars whose music similarly knows no boundaries – from pop star Justin Timberlake to avant-garde singer Bjork. Timbaland's trademark sound has spawned numerous imitators, yet he has always remained the acknowledged originator.
