Grammy award-winning producer extraordinaire Timbaland is infusing healthier living with his love for music. Just this month, he released a meditation album, “Yellow,” with handpan musician Malte Marten.
In an interview with Apple Fitness+, he described music as medicine and said he wanted to give listeners something different to ingest.
“When we talk about the mind right,” he told Fitness+ yoga trainer Jonelle Lewis. “I feel like music is a frequency that is a natural healer and we don’t know it because we’re not putting it in our mouth, we’re not ingesting it the same, but we really are. It’s like going through our pores to hit our soul.”
Now, he’s being featured in Apple Fitness+’s Artist Spotlight series. The service launched an all-new Time to Walk episode featuring Timbaland. In the award-winning audio experience, listeners can walk alongside him as he reflects on his journey of resilience, creativity and wellness.
He covers his deep friendship with fellow artist Missy Elliott, crediting her with helping him push his creative limits and how mentoring up-and-coming artists has impacted his life. Timbaland also talks about his struggles with addiction which includes the pivotal moment he dedicated his life to being healthier and becoming a mental and physical wellness advocate. He even shares the importance of walking and its therapeutic value for managing conditions like anxiety and finding clarity.
“Music shouldn’t be in just one place,” he said. “I should explore all over. I feel like because I am music, I want to flow with all types.”
As part of the Apple Fitness+ Artist Spotlight series, Timbaland is also featured on an entire Fitness+ workout playlist. The platform even introduced new workouts featuring some of his biggest hits. There are now five new workouts available on the service including Dance, Kickboxing, Yoga, HIIT and Cycling.
You can check out all available workouts and the Time to Walk episode with Timbaland on Apple Fitness+. You can stream “Yellow” wherever music is digitally available.
