Timothy Mosley To explain this properly, Timbaland did NOT get the name just from his regular name. He got it from the boots. DeVante Swing, a producer and member of the successful R&B act Jodeci signed Sista (Missy's old R&B group) to his Swing Mob record label and Elliott brought Timothy Mosley (Timbaland) with her to New York, where Swing Mob was based. It was DeVante who renamed the young producer Timbaland, after Timberland construction boots, which were popular in hip hop fashion.
