Cool Dad Job: Rapper, Producer

Latest Cool Dad Achievement: Becoming a children’s book author.

Born Timothy Zachary Mosley, Timbaland has more hooks than a fly-fisher. A music legend, Timbaland has worked with every artist to ever drop a track that you couldn’t help but dance to — from Rihanna to Jay-Z. A father of three, Timbaland got a new gig in 2019, becoming the author of Nighttime Symphony, a children’s book about city sounds and how they can be the ultimate lullaby.  “I took my time with this,” he says of the book. No word yet on a sequel, but don’t be surprised if it turns out to be about ridin’ a pony.
