Biography

Timothy Z. Mosley, better known around the world as Timbaland, was born and brought up in Norfolk, Virginia. There he was acquainted with Missy Elliott and rapper Magoo (Melvin Barcliff). After Missy heard Timothy's DJ work she was so impressed that immediately proposed cooperation. Soon the trio moved to Suffern, New York. There Missy passed the audition for a label with her band Sista. Elliott took Barcliff and Mosley to the studio. The head of the label gave Timothy his pseudonym Timbaland. The young producer did a lot of work for the Swing Mob label. In 1995, Magoo, Timbaland and Elliott broke their ties with the facility. However, they continued their collaboration and Timbaland's remix on Missy's Steelo became his first serious producer success in 1996. The same year Timbaland produced the whole debut disc The Bachelor by Ginuwine and became known to a wide auditory. The disc featured compositions that sounded typical for the so called Timbaland’s signature sound - syncopated rhythm, similar to samba or jungle music, unusual drum beats and odd sound effects (especially vocal ones).
