Timbaland is a music producer who works with some of my favorite artists to help them create sound that is distinctive, catchy and bound to be chart-topping. He's worked closely with one of my favorite performers, Justin Timberlake, producing many of the tracks on both Justin's most recent album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, and his debut album, Justified.

During Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveShow tour, Timbaland appeared on stage with Justin for a few different numbers and also did the slammin' DJ set during Justin's mid-show break.

Timbaland also has helped produce the hits for a variety of other artists, including Jodeci, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Missy Elliott, Destiny’s Child, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z. This year Timbaland released his second solo album, Shock Value, on Interscope records.

Since I love so much of his work, here's a sample of some of my favorite songs and music vids. You'll also find a photo gallery about 3/4 down, so scroll if you want to see photos first.

OneRepublic is a US rock band from Colorado started by lead singer and song writer, Ryan Tedder. OneRepublic's song "Apologize" is featured in remix form on Timbaland's 2007 release, Timbaland Presents Shock Value.

Give It to Me is the first single off of Shock Value. Nelly Furtado, Timberlake and Timbaland each have a verse on the song and Nelly sings the chorus. Justin's verse is my favorite and I love this video. The concert footage is from the 2007 Grammy's pre-show. The song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April.

I'm not a big fan of The Hives, but I wanted to showcase the variety of artists that Timbaland works with and the different types of sound he works with. The Hives recorded vocals and guitar for the song. Also, this is a pretty fun video. It features a bunch of different WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) Divas and is used on the WWE channel to promote Timbaland's album and the WWE.

Promiscuous was written by Nelly Furtado, Timothy "Attitude" Clayton, Timbaland and Danja and it was produced by Timbaland and Danja for Nelly's 2006 album, Loose. There's a surprise guest in the music video even though he doesn't sing on the track -- yes, it's Justin Timberlake. Timbaland really loves that guy and so do I!
