Tim Bowman, Jr., heir to a rich musical legacy, follows in the footsteps of his aunt, Vickie Winans, and his father, jazz vet, Tim Bowman, Sr. with his recent signing to Evolve Music Group. The prodigy announces his new deal with the legendary producer Rodney Jerkins as the first gospel artist signed to the new venture.
A career in music for Bowman has been years in the making. He has singing in his DNA and is poised to take up the mantel for the next generation.
When Bowman was 12, he sang on his aunt, Vickie Winans’, number one song “Shake Yourself Loose,” with a melodic scat that became his then ‘signature sound.’ He appeared again with her on a follow up hit song “How I Got Over.” Then in 2010, he released an indie debut album titled Beautiful, whose title track became a top 10 single.
Today, Bowman has grown up as has his sound. His 2012 Christmas single was the first indicator of this maturation, as his interpretation of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” showcased his vocal power, prowess, and diversity.
The first offering off the upcoming sophomore album is “I’m Good“, a decidedly different sound than the scat of early years. It is a fresh, modern song that’s both fully-planted in R&B and gospel. Produced by Jerkins and penned by Jhonte Austin, the single ignites with a solid beat, piano foundation and Bowman’s stellar vocals. The song has a contagious, joyous sound that is a definite bridge-builder between audiences across all musical lines.
The album will be executive produced by Jerkins and fans will be captivated as Bowman explores a wide range of topics and lyrics that cross genre lines. The forthcoming album will include infectious melodies on top of a fusion of dance, urban, contemporary folk, and gospel music, all strung together with uplifting messages.
Look for the new single “I’m Good” to hit radio this summer.
Congrats to Bowman and Jerkins on the new signing.
