Timothy Studios

54 Years old and starting a new brand.

What is wrong with me? Absolutely nothing. Like all of you, especially those of you in your 20’s, I dream.

After 20 plus years in a successful white-collar career, plus 8 years in politics, I remembered the dreams of my youth. And I committed to pursuing them with all I have. Many in my inner circle think I am crazy, but most support me, even though they know I am entering into the most competitive industry in the world.

I love entertainment. I love creating. I love the joy a creator feels when their project moves others. And I mostly love that I have created a place for this all to happen. Timothy Studios is a labor of love for me. It began with trial, error and correction. It is done now, and I am proud of what we have built. When my transition to the entertainment industry began, I had no clue where it would take me. I simply knew I was taking the path. I wrote a couple children’s books. I published poetry. I taught myself videography. Proudly, a music Video I created and produced won “Outstanding Music Video of 2018, at the Boss Fame Awards. I learned to write songs. I visited with smart, successful, and creative people.

I am fortunate that one I met is Philip Balonwu - owner of AfroVibes Entertainment Group LLC. Philip immediately opened his arms, heart, and studio to me. It will, at the end of my life, be archived as a defining moment in my life. He and his team are the reason I chose to build my studio adjoining his. The science of a recording studio is important. We put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring the science was right. We knew we had to have the best of everything. We knew our vocal booth had to produce the best sound in the City of Houston. Everything had to be the best. We bought the best, and we built the best. While doing this, we knew that as important as it is. It is still only half the equation. The other half, equally important, is the Vibe. This is where I knew I could be different.

Some of my friends laugh at my inability to dislike things. I like people. I like music. I refuse to be limited to one group, culture, or race of people. I refuse to be limited to one genre or time period of music. And I refused to build a studio whose Vibe wasn’t welcoming to all.

Welcoming is our Vibe. During the build out, we invited artists from every genre. We invited painters, writers, vocalists, musicians, businessmen, and women. And we invited them in from all over the world. I counted visitors from 14 different nations during our build out. We listened to them. We watched their expressions. We saw what brought joy. We added and we subtracted until I knew that Timothy Studios was welcoming to all.

Everyone, no matter who you are, has something special. Timothy Studios is here to help you bring that special to the world. Our Vibe is second to none. Our equipment is first class.

Come see us. You are always welcome.
