Jeff Timmons transitioned from teen hero to young adult entrepreneur, keeping his professionalism and enthusiasm. Known as the founding member of the multi-platinum selling group 98 Degrees. He has gone solo, at least, temporarily, and plans to perform with his beloved group again that brought such mega hits as "The Hardest Thing" "I Do." "Invisible Man" "Give Me Just One Night" "Because of You" and the number one hit with Mariah Carey "Thank God I Found You". After a stellar career with 98 Degrees, Jeff has single-handedly written and produced his first solo album, released as a joint venture between his own company, Rising Phoenix Media, LLC and SLG Music. The album has already given him a Top 20 hit on Billboards AC chart with the lead off single "Whisper That Way" and was most added at radio every week leading up to his peak position.
The Massillon (near Canton), Ohio native sang with his brother and sister for fun in choirs, school plays and everywhere else cute kids with voices sing. "I wasn’t in a clique in high school because my interests were so diverse. I was on the debate team, in choir, and I played football." The jock was even a wrestler. As far as a musical career, Jeff accidentally got involved with the biz after impressing a group of college girls, while singing with some buds. He attended Kent State University to study psychology but then dropped out to pursue a music career in California, when his family moved west to the Bay area. Jeff and friends took the "Bart" into San Francisco from his home in Concord and literally passed the "hat" around near famed Fisherman’s Wharf. Whatever cash was made was used for food and daily life.
Flash Forward: Jeff met James Brown’s security guard. Instead of the VIP connection immediately assisting him to jump into the music scene, Jeff found a bevy of security jobs at eclectic Hollywood nightclubs. It wasn’t until a fight broke out and his head was cracked open with a beer bottle that he made the decision to leave and work privately at a VIP’s estate, where it was a safer bet. An accidental audition brought him a commercial in Hawaii for the Navy. About that time he formed his second group, what is now 98 Degrees.
Another high point: Singing at the White House, twice. "I’ve never been so nervous before a performance, when I was to sing a-cappella for President Clinton. It was the first time we were doing ‘Ave Maria’ in public and it was live on TV for a White House Holiday Special." No need for anxiety - the group was invited back. Other highlights include hosting and appearing on such shows as MTV's "TRL," "Beach House," "House of Style," "Video Music Awards," "American Music Awards," "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve," "The Tonight Show," "The Teen Choice Awards" (for which he is the owner of their coveted award surf board), and many platinum records on his wall from all over the globe.
Jeff shows no signs of limiting himself as a musician, producer and songwriter. He signed with Management 101 (LA/NYC) to assist him with his acting and theatrical interests. So keep your eye on the big screen / small screen and broadway stage because Jeff has already gone on several auditions!
Jeff is currently on tour doing spot dates around the country and in the studio working on a new album for a late 2005 release.
