Early Life

Timothy Zachary Mosely (aka Timbaland) was born on March 10, 1972, in Norfolk, Virginia. When Timbaland was 14 (in 1986), he was working at Red Lobster when he was accidentally shot by a co-worker. As a result of the shooting, teenaged Timbaland was partially paralyzed for nine months. He used that time to learn how to DJ with his less dominant left hand. In high school, he went by DJ Timmy Tim or DJ Tim for his DJing gigs. He met and began a long friendship and collaboration with Melvin "Magoo" Barcliff in this time period.  He graduated from Salem High School in 1990. He was part of the group S.B.I. (Surrounded By Idiots), whichPharrell Williamswas also a member of.

Career

Missy Elliott heard Timbaland's song and took him with her to New York when DaVante Swing of Jodeci signed Elliott and her group Sista to his Swing Mob record label. It was Swing who renamed the young rapper Timbaland after the Timberland brand of construction boots that were very popular in the early 1990s. Timbaland, Magoo, Ginuwine, Playa, and Sugah became known as "Da Basement" crew of the Swing Mob artists' stable. Timbaland did production work on a number of projects with DeVante, including the 1995 Jodeci LP "The Show, The After-Party, The Hotel."

Timbaland found success in the pop and R&B industry in the late 1990s. Timbaland produced a long list of hits, primarily for a select group of artists such as Missy Elliott, Aaliyah,Jay-Z, Ginuwine,Ludacris,Snoop Dogg, Nas, andJustin Timberlake. He is known for infusing a sense of individuality and creativity into his productions. His signature stuttering bass-heavy bounce beats offset resounding high-end synth stabs, often accompanied by his own quiet whispering beneath the track—as well as absolutely no sampling, make his work very recognizable.

Timbaland started his own record label, Beat Club. From 1997 through 2003, he released three Timbaland & Magoo albums and 1998's "Tim's Bio" —a solo album. Released in 2007, "Timbaland Presents Shock Value," along with its 2009 sequel, used a mixture of vocalists, rappers, and rock bands. The albums had a couple of major hits, including "Give It to Me," featuringNelly Furtadoand Justin Timberlake, which reached the top of the charts. "The Way I Are," withKeri Hilsonand D.O.E., maxed out at number three on the charts.

Ultimately, Timbaland's financial journey is a testament to their success.
