Timbaland
Timothy Z. Mosley (born March 10, 1971), better known by his stage name Timbaland, is an American record producer, composer,rapper and hype man. Primarily known for his work in contemporary R&B, hip hop, and pop music, Timbaland has produced hit albums and singles for a number of artists from the mid-1990s to the present day. Timbaland is similar to producers such as Phil Spector, Brian Eno, or Norman Whitfield in that he helped to redefine the sound of an entire genre of music with an immediately recognizable production style.
His production style is marked by its unorthodox arrangements, sounds, and instrumentation tied together by a trademark sense of space and rhythm. He has produced many top-ten hits, in a variety of genres, and has spawned many imitators. In addition to his production credits, Timbaland has ventured out as a performer, both as part of a duo with childhood friend Magoo and as a solo performer. He can often be found adding (typically vocoded) vocals to many of the songs he produces as well.
