Introducing Timeka Marshall
Guyanese Timeka and our Rihanna in Jamaica
Here is a bio on Timeka Marshall hailing from Guyana, she is one on the artistes represented by Pyramid Entertainment which is managed by the irresistible Santia Bradshaw. With the coming of CSME we need to know about our regional neighbours, so read on, you are not busy ..
Who would have thought that a simple jingle for a local company would be the start of a music career that seems destined for success? Well that is exactly how young Guyanese singer Timeka Marshall got her break. In 2006
a local telecommunications company staged a competition for their new jingle. Timeka entered and won. This became the springboard for recording her first R&B Single “We Should Separate”, which was released and quickly followed by the music video. Produced by Muzikmedia and shot on location in Jamaica both the track and the video gained popularity on the Caribbean music scene and held their own in heavy rotation on radio and television stations across the region.
Yet there was much more to unearth in the way of Timeka’s talents. Timeka After performing “We Should Celebrate” on the Guyanese entertainment circuit to appreciative audiences,Timeka was keen to cultivate her songwriting talents and attended the Barbados Music seminar and Showcase in February 2007. There she blew regional and international music executives away with her obvious talent and enticing sensuality. With just one performance of the gritty dancehall track “Nothing At All”, Timeka was immediately signed to a developmental deal which would see her working with some of Jamaica’s top producers.Timeka’s commitment and hard work in the months she spent in Jamaica has paid off, with the release of two singles – “Free” and “Ice-cream Boy” (a fresh taste on a classic) produced by international reggae producer
Clive Hunt and his team of talented musicians. Her relationship with Jamaica and the treasure trove of musicians, directors and producers there continues to grow. As soon as the two singles were in heavy rotation on Guyana’s airwaves, Timeka returned to Jamaica to continue recording. This dedication is a clear indication of her intention
to take her music throughout the region and beyond and add to the growing list of Caribbean artistes who now rank among the international superstars of the entertainment industry.

i asked the question already about this woman thing ?
everything seem to be about women getting deals , women doing this , women doing that, women getting fat –(oh oh –they don’t like that one)
everything now is about women
something seems to be very wrong here
cant put my finger on it but are women the only ones who have talent
or are horny over-sexed men giving women all the breaks

Ahh come on, in the Caribbean it’s mostly the men that get the breaks. How many female heavy hitting artists do we have that can hold a sell-out crowd Lady Saw?? Tanya Stephens and notice they are all Jamaicans too…well we got Allison Hinds, but they are few and far between so it’s time women in the Caribbean get a break…sheesh

Asiba, women get a hard break in the Caribbean.But they also right now are the most likely to breakthrough internationally.

timeka is growing as an artiste but I think she should be more humble about it and represent Guyana to the fullest. She should be more natural and down to earth

Timeka’s the most down to earth person I know. When she has to be professional, she is and when it’s time to play, she plays…

Asiba-The Buffalo Soldier, are you that dumb. Open your eyes and see what she has accomplished… She’s had a hit single on the top chrts in Jamaica at #1 for weeks and you’re saying what. She’s dedicated and is determined to put Guyana on the map. She’s doing voice traing and performing at comncerts and doing tours in Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, the USA and other places and that’s all you can say. What have you done for Guyana? I’m sure it’s nothing close to what she has done.
