Timbaland, wanna collab?
“If at first you don’t succeed, brush yourself off and try again.” - Aaliyah As an independent artist-entrepreneur, these are words I live by. I first heard them beautifully sung by a voice like no other, the late great Aaliyah in her song “Try Again” from her self-titled album Aaliyah. At that point, I was a child, so I didn’t understand the intricacies of the music industry and the role of the songwriters and producers behind the scenes. So as much as I admire and love Aaliyah, this piece is not about her, it’s about the producer and co-writer behind the song, Timbaland.

Why Harry Styles Is the Most Famous One Direction Member
For someone who used to be in a boy band, Harry Styles does not make many public appearances. Even the "Behind the Scenes" videos for his music videos don't show much of his personalty. The "Golden" BTS video shows Harry talking only at the end, when he waves goodbye to fans gathered around the set. The rest of the video simply shows shots of the production, set to the song. No talking. No interviews or explanations. Just Harry running around.

Your number is being called. You have been introduced to the stage. The adrenaline rush begins. You stand poised and ready to show the audience what you have been rehearsing for so many long days and nights.
