Timberlace

Timberlace was born Taylor Archelle Yarbrough to her mother Courtney Slater in New Orleans, Louisiana. To the credit of her mother, Taylor fell in love with music (especially vocal acrobats such as Anita Baker, <a href="spotify:artist:4S9EykWXhStSc15wEx8QFK" data-name="Céline Dion">Céline Dion</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6XpaIBNiVzIetEPCWDvAFP" data-name="Whitney Houston">Whitney Houston</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:47opbYEKDjXnRk9uLscp11" data-name="Yolanda Adams">Yolanda Adams</a>) at an early age. Although her first love was music, Timberlace’s first recognizable talent was writing. At the age of 25, she finally combined the two and released her first two singles, “Such A Riot” and &quot;In My Head&quot;, which is featured in Spike Lee&#39;s Netflix series, She&#39;s Gotta Have It (episode 9).

Timberlace attended various performing arts schools for theater and creative writing. She later attended Spelman College in Atlanta and earned a BA in Psychology. On December 23rd, Timberlace released a surprise EP entitled Dreamland, which features production by her cousin Zachary Graves, Moni Melody, and Chance Pike. Timberlace also produced two tracks on Dreamland: “Why, Travis?” and “Coming Down”.
