Currently building the first independent entertainment arts label in Alabama, T. Mill can be found composing a wide variety of projects covering different genres of music, film, art, & literary projects. His second release “A Priceless Affair” is his instrumental story and an experiment. T.Mill is also the driving force and owner behind Xsodus Productions.

Working in the entertainment industry for over twelve full years, Mill actually began his love for music as a hobby. At just the age of 9, he began crafting his own mix tapes. The interesting thing about it was that these mix tapes were almost like a diary to his life. He even states, while laughing uncontrollably, “I think that was the best music of my life, because every time I hear it I can see what I was doing at that time, it’s like a soundtrack to my life. Music was so fun back then.” He goes on to tell how he acted like six different on-air personalities and DJs.

It really wasn’t until Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G. rose to fame that T. Mill truly found inspiration. Through their influence, T. Mill found confirmation that he wanted to write songs and lyrics for hip hop music. He claims that “Tupac’s ‘Thug Life’ poetic diagnosis and Biggie’s intricate lyrical improvisations” are what did it for him! Mill always loved to write poetry, but he soon learned to manipulate words and phrases on his own accord.

Once in Jr. High, Mill became a student of Jazz and Gospel music. This is also where he began to play the Alto Saxophone. Eventually, it came to the point where nothing could keep him from finding an instrument of expression, since nearly his entire family including his mother, learned some formal or professional training in piano and choir. Many Saturday afternoons reflect images of T. Mill, as he sat in the front pew of the church. It was here that he would attentively listen in awe at the harmonies of his mother’s choir.

His aunt soon agreed music was something Tim was not only good at but naturally creative as well. Her experiences in the industry and many famous friends, granted Tim the opportunity to learn more and begin laying a foundation to live his dream.

Mill’s first job at 12 yrs old, taking newspaper subscriptions, bought him his first keyboard from a local pawnshop. This pawnshop would later serve and deliver nearly all of his musical equipment needs. The Bad Boy Entertainment & Death Row empire greatly influenced Tim to take a shot at producing music. Finally after reading a gift from his aunt “ All you need to know about the music business. By Donald Passman.” Tim finally decided to take his music serious enough to create his own empire.

Class Act Records was the beginning of Tim’s vision. He produced, recorded and engineered his very first official album entitled “Class Act Compilation Vol.1.” He and the other 4 artists on his label promoted and marketed the album during and after school.

He became confident in his production abilities, after he heard another classmate, whom he didn’t even know, singing one of the tracks from the album “Onions & Green Peppers (Weed and Money),” He went on to continue producing five more albums on the Class Act label, before it closed.

All artists moved on to signing with other labels; and Class Act was genuinely an experiment for all. It acted as a launching pad to bigger and better things for all members. His brother, Charles Miller, is now a successful independent artist. Nuffsedd has recently re-signed to Tim’s current entertainment arts & recording company, Xodus Productions.

In 2001 Tim, signed to his longtime friend and mentor, Deron’s, Palisade Hills label, as the second Hip Hop and R&B, artist to the eclectic family of Electronic, Trip Hop, Alternative, Experimental, and Ambient artists. Under Palisade, he recorded the album “Shylock” with the moniker of “Capo.” This album was produced entirely by DeRon, but has now been re-released, along with additional material dubbed “The Rest of Yesterday, The Beginning of Today (T.Mill).” It is available on many online retailers, including iTunes.

Offering much support and many resources, it was the friend’s of T. Mill that kept him encouraged to where he wanted to create a new company for himself. He would go on to indulge himself and commit to several artists and projects. Some of these projects have included producing and recording eight artists, writing two books, and even shooting a film. Over the course of twelve years, his work proved to be more than one man could handle.

The release of DeRon’s “The Ministry of You” was a huge inspiration for Tim’s upcoming release “A Priceless Affair.” He is now building Xsodus Productions, while playing the role of an affiliated producer of both Shorty Produkshins & Eargasmz LLC. He has also worked as a part of SPK and Postman Productions.

Currently, he’s handpicking talented and creative individuals who are interested in joining his team and network, in order to share his vision with the world. “I want to inspire everyone as much as music and art has inspired me. I live humbly and grateful for the simplest things in which music and art is responsible for,” he states when being asked what keeps him motivated.

In 2006, he became a member of ASCAP. He works with Rap, Hip Hop, R&B, Soul, Jazz, Electronica, Trip Hop, Alternative, and Experimental. He touches on Spoken Word, as well.

Some influences include: James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, DeRon, Timbaland, Dr.Dre, Dj Premier, Babyface & L.A.Reid, Sean Combs, Easy Mo Bee, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Isley Brothers, Prince, Tricky, Bjork, and the Sneaker Pimps.
