Brooklyn independent artist Timi Dre, known for blending Afrobeats, Konpa, and R&B, has been creating a sound that feels distinctly New York City. His music is described as energetic but grounded, vibrant yet intentional, and a reflection of the city itself. Born in Brooklyn, Timi grew up surrounded by cultural exchange and exposed to different cultures, his music is influenced by his upbringing. Despite starting his music as a gospel kid, he maintains his perspective grounded and focuses on giving back to those who have given to him. His upcoming show at SOB’s on his birthday will be one of the most iconic stages for emerging and global artists.
