"They call me Timothy, aka T.I.M, it's an acronym, it stands for Totally Involved in the Ministry!" You may here these lines bumping from a speaker somewhere as it snatches your attention and proceeds to shine light on your consciousness. He often describes his lyrics as being like the sun as he radiates his light in these dark times we live in. And being from the island in the sun; Jamaica. Timothy knows a thing or two about the blazing light. Timothy was born the son of army major on a Jamaican December afternoon. He grew up with a strong sense of army life as is to be expected. Growing up he inherited a love for music as his mother and father were in their own ways involved in music in their youth. His mother was heavily involved in music ministry at her church, ever since her teen years. From dancing to playing drums in the church brigade, and putting on concerts. His Father used to spin records and also put on concerts with his large collection.
Timothy was always tuned to the music of his homeland, but as a youngster with a talent for art he found something special in the synergy of the visuals, beats and creative lyrics that poured into his living room from B.E.T. networks. He found out early that he had a special knack for the rhyme and rhythm. As he rapped along with the culture his skills grew into the talented MC he is today. Timothy, after some dark days, gave his life to the Lord in 1995, it was time to join Heaven's army. Being that he had music, the military, and God's word in his blood his purpose was clear.
Today, armed with sporadic and unpredictable flows, a militant approach to his purpose, a colourful imagination and an explosive freestyle gift. He has joined the war against the forces of darkness in this present day system. Timothy's talent is at the level where he will go to a show give the audience a brand new song like something he's previously worked on. Only for them to find out it was a freestyle. Or he'll just go in the studio and pop in a beat and freestyle over it. As he did on Ontu us a Child is Born. God be praised.
