Timmi Burrell Sings For The Poor & Oppressed

timmi_01.jpgFor Negril based singer Timmi Burrell music is a very serious thing. The Spanish Town Native does not believe in making music that does not have the ability to impact positively on the life of others. He does not believe in doing music for a quick hype and a bag of forwards at stage shows. He says “I have a message to deliver and it has to be done in a certain kind of way. No hurry come up thing, no hype thing for me, I don’t want to make it fast and then dissappear quickly”. Thats why he spends a lot of time working on his craft in and out of the studio, with his management and production team at Torie/Shae’s Production.
