Timothy Zachery Mosley (born March 10, 1972, Norfolk, Virginia, USA), better known as Timbaland, is an American rapper, music producer, arranger, and songwriter. He is the founder of the Mosley Music Group label and a four-time Grammy Award winner.
He started in the 1990s, recording with his friend Magoo as part of the duo "Timbaland & Magoo." In addition, he wrote and arranged songs for his school friend Missy Elliott and for the young singer Aaliyah. His original, unique arrangements — inspired by the funk-influenced work of Prince — opened a new chapter in the history of popular music, gaining wide recognition from both specialists and the general public.
By 2006, Timbaland's signature sound had become the standard of modern hip-hop and R’n’B, as evidenced by the fact that during this period six singles featuring Timbaland reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 (three performed by Justin Timberlake and three in tandem with Nelly Furtado). Also, starting in 2007, he began creating most of his hits in a brilliant partnership with Danja. The albums he produced for Justin Timberlake, "FutureSex/LoveSounds," and Nelly Furtado, "Loose," became bestsellers of 2006 and received multiple platinum certifications in the USA.
In 2007, Timbaland released a solo album titled "Timbaland Presents: Shock Value." The album became platinum in multiple countries and surpassed one million copies sold in the USA. In 2009, Timbaland promised to release another solo album titled "Shock Value II," featuring guests such as Keri Hilson, Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, Beyoncé, Rihanna, T.I., Missy Elliott, T-Pain, Jordin Sparks, and the Jonas Brothers.
In 2007, Timbaland and Danja co-produced the album "Red Carpet Massacre" by the band Duran Duran, and they also co-produced the first single from Britney Spears' fifth album, "Gimme More." In 2008, Timbaland and Danja also produced the album by the pop group "Pussycat Dolls."
By 2009, Timbaland announced work on albums for 50 Cent, Chris Cornell (whose new album "Scream" he fully produced; release date — March 10), Keri Hilson, Letoya Luckett, Sean Paul, and Sebastian. He also released his third solo album "Shock Value II."
In 2009, work was completed on Dima Bilan's studio album. The album presentation took place on May 15. 12 out of 15 songs on the album "Believe" were recorded at Timbaland's studio. The album also featured Jim Beanz, Charlie Hup, rapper D.O.E., Timbaland's brother Sebastian, and Ryan Tedder.
Timbaland also produced a song for Chris Brown titled "Paper, Scissors, Rock," which was included in Chris's fourth album "F.A.M.E." New albums were also released - 2024 — Yellow (with Malte Marten), 2025 — Timbo Progression.
