Hot Gyal Timberlee…. Sweet like honey, but solid!!
By: Joseph Cunningham
 "Hot gyal a hot gyal, sweet like honey." These are the words of a sexy new song, titled, "Bubble Like Soup," which has presented 24 year old Timberlee to the Dancehall.
She grew up in Mandeville, Manchester, a highly commercial community not especially known for delivering talents to a genre that is predominantly hardcore.
Interestingly, Timberlee continues to walk a road not common to the Dancehall and that is to be a musician who has high academic qualifications. She is on target to graduate with a degree in Psychology and Child Education.
"I only got really interested in becoming a Dancehall artiste in the year 2000, after witnessing a lyrical clash between Tony Matterhorn and Fire Links at Fully Loaded," she revealed.
Timberlee is now affiliated with legendary producers, Ward 21, and is consistently recording singles. "I'm not thinking about releasing an album right now, but I'll be completing the video for "Bubble Like Soup" and my new single, "No Stress," both within the next two weeks," she confirmed.
Describing her personality, Timberlee stated that although she comes fully loaded with hardcore lyrics, she is high society.
Her razor-sharp and poignant lyrics will take you by surprise, but what is amazing about this young lady, is her thirst and determination to make a major impact in the music industry. As one of the newest female acts on the scene, Timberlee comes correct with her latest singles "Prado and Gucci," "Real Hot Gal" and "Hair Do."
"I talk about the things that people are afraid to talk about. Sexuality and the good stuff," Timberlee said.
The very beginning of her foray into the music bizz was with a song called "Prado and Gucci" that was recorded for Don Corleon.
The young singer says she has learnt a lot since her venture into music. "You have to hold your own and be focused on what you want, and what you want to accomplish. There are a lot of hypocrites in the business and you have to watch your own back."
Her music influences are Spragga Benz, Lady Saw, Vybz Kartel and Buju Banton.
She is highly focused, and her long-term goals include being successful and respected among her musical peers. "I love the music thing, but I want to finish school first; at least I will have something to fall back on. I want to be respected for my work,' she said. Timberlee says her parents are not supportive of her musical aspirations. "Absolutely not. They are not supportive. They are of high society, but I am not in my heart. My father says it's my business, and my mother is always concerned about my being around the people in the music industry," she added.

I am a promoter from Trinidad and Tobago. I am a High Society Guy that loves Dancehall to the core. I am a promoter that is always looking for the Next Hot Jamaican Female Artist. I have two Soundsystems in Trinidad. BLACKSTONE AND KLYMAXXX. I have many dubplates for each soundsystem and have played all over the world. I have been looking for a artist like Timberlee since I was in the dancehall business since 1988. Timberlee is beautiful and I want to bring her to Trinidad. MILK her manager is one of my good friends. I guess she will be in Trinidad soon. So I can Take her in My X5 and tell her how Beautiful she is over dinner.

High Society? How do you define "high society"? It is quiet obvious that you will not be setting an example for kids by singing about sexuality and other stupid stuff.Remember you are studying Early Childhood Education!!!!!. As an educator I think you are confused and is just using the education profession as a stepping stone. Please we have had enough so-called "high society" people that are hypocrites, you speak one thing but your actions and choice of lyrical content definately speaks like that of a "low society" person.Girl you have answered to the call of the "ghetto".Also why do you have to stress that you are "high society" each time that you speak? I see you are still trying to convince your self that you are indeed "High society". I empathize with you because obviously you have lost the defination of "high society" along the way. A "high society and educated" woman does not speak like you do. Are you sure Psyc. and ECE is your major?
