Timbalands's Secret Weapon

Meet Nate Hills, the one-man band who helps shape the producer's biggest hits.....

Hills' role is often to refine Timbaland's raw ideas, but they also write songs together. For example, Hills came up with the beat for "Promiscuous" and Timbaland created the hook. Lately, Hills has begun working on his own as a producer and songwriter with acts including Britney Spears, Diddy and Katharine McPhee. His most distinctive style is the spacey synth-rock sound he employed on Nelly Furtado track "Maneater" - which he also applied to a new song with Duran Duran and an upcoming solo track from the Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger. "I'm just a musical guy", says Hills, who unlike many hip-hop producers has the chops to jam with live bands. "So I definitely want to venture into rock and stuff like that - where I can be free."

wannabe*

the next Nelly Furtado?

hahaha that's just weirdo

no, cause anything with timbaland or will.i.am is good

[my opinion]

That will be interesting to watch.

Timbaland is whoring himself around! I love what hes done for Nelly & Justin but I hope he hasnt done the exact same thing with Britney.

everybody working with Timbaland ??? Justin, Nelly, Britney, J-Lo... i like Timbaland...but i hope something new

umm he's talking way too soon. He has made some good songs, but nothing mind blowing yet. And to say he's Timbaland's secret weapon and has helped shape the producer's biggest hits is stupid, since Tim's been producing for 12 years and Danja just started. And both Tim and Danja produced Promiscuous. Danja's a good producer though, I love Maneater Whatever him and Tim do for Britney, I just hope it's good.

sounds like nelly

I wish people STOPPED saying Nelly. She's NOT the only Nelly in the entertainment bussiness. Her last name is FURTADO. USE IT. Gosh.


Anyway, I love Timbo/Danja. Showtime is such a great song, and Danja produced that track by himself I believe. But come on Brit - work with some producers that are under the radar and not who your exes and all the number one singles are by. She's such a producer *****. lol.

she workin with everybody

She's working with me too

Cool, britney's album will be the biggest sucess!

This album will be over produced! Shes so desperate!

Awesome, I can't wait for that. Let's work with 200 different people for one album.

What an ignorant thing to say. It's required in his job to work with artists. If you see him all over the place it means he's doing his job right.

Nervous much?

Tis A Dupe.

ROTFLMAO!
