Tim Blakeney Bio
Described by his fans as a “real life” rapper, Tim Blakeney began composing songs at the young age of twelve. In the wake of childhood tragedies, he used his notebook as a form of therapy. Uprooted from south central Mass to central Florida at fifteen, his diverse experiences and broad culture are clearly represented in his style of writing. Growing up influenced by the likes of Nas, Big L, and many others, his lyrics and flow give his listeners hope that HipHop is alive and well.
At the age of nineteen Tim Blakeney’s music began to gain traction in Atlanta, GA receiving radio play and also in Orlando being nominated at the Orlando hip-hop awards for best mixtape of the year. However, his music career hit a roadblock when he took a wrong turn and was sentenced to prison in Tallahassee Florida for drug related charges.
During his incarceration, he had time to self-reflect and assess the path his life was headed down mentally and spiritually. It was then that he had a change of heart and decided to walk away from his record deal in Atlanta and reinvent himself as an artist, but more importantly as a man.
Although Tim Blakeney stopped releasing music publicly, he continued to write and grow as an artist, perfecting his craft while adding to his skillset learning to play piano and guitar.
Over a decade later, Tim Blakeney is back in his hometown, where he resides with his wife who was with him through it all and their four beautiful children. He has established a career outside of and worked his way up in the fire protection industry, currently working as a foreman in the Local 550 Sprinkler Fitters Boston. Now a jack of both trades, physical fire protection and spiritual fire protection, he is back to using his musical gifts and talents to shine light in a world that grows darker every day. Inspired by his faith, Tim is back in the studio out in Boston recording his new debut album ‘Boston Rat Race Armageddon’, set to release in 2022.
Compelled to inspire with powerful music, Tim is showing the world that regardless of how hopeless things may seem, there is always a way to get back home. Music is his vehicle. Take a ride with him.
