You can hear influences of some of the best soul artists in singer J Timber’s vocal style, but there was a time when the musician didn’t believe he was cut out for the spotlight. He was content as a drummer and backup singer until family, friends and fans persuaded him to open up and perform. He did and now the Greensboro vocalist is making a name for himself in North Carolina.
