Artist:Tim Bowman Jr.
Song:I'm Good
Album:Listen
Tim Bowman Jr. topped the Gospel charts with the 2015 single I'm Good. Not surprisingly, Bowman is from a musical family. He was born May 26, 1987 in Detroit. His father is smooth jazz guitarist Tim Bowman. His aunt is gospel singer Vickie Winans. As a teen, Bowman appeared on the Vickie Winans 2003 single How I Got Over. He also appeared on his dad's 2007 album Tim Bowman. After attending Wayne State University, Bowman released his 2012 debut album Beautiful on Trippin' 'n' Rhythm. His dad produced the album with his producer Josh Davis. For his 2016 album Listen, Bowman signed with Lifestyle Music Group with Motown distribution. Lifestyle is owned by Bowman's cousin Marvin Winans Jr. Winans was in Winans Phase 2 but in recent years he has been behind the scenes. He brought in veteran producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins to produce the album. Jerkins produced about half the songs. Other producers were Matt Champlin, Josh Davis, Paul Dawson, Aaron Lindsey, Davy Nathan and Teddy Riley. I'm Good topped the Gospel charts. Jerkins wrote and produced I'm Good with Bowman, Winans and Johnta Austin. A YouTube video was posted about the writing of I'm Good. Jerkins based the record on I Wanna Be Where You Are written by Arthur "T-Boy" Ross (Diana Ross' brother) and Leon Ware in 1972 for Michael Jackson. But the sample is from a 1975 cover by former Faith, Hope and Charity member Zulema. That's a very obscure sample. This is Bowman's latest album. He has been working a lot with Kim Burrell and Faith City Ministries. They have posted plenty of YouTube videos but they haven't recorded. And I don't know when Bowman plans to record again. Here's the video for I'm Good by Tim Bowman Jr.
