Timothy Bright interview Aural Wes 2023-11-07 | Emmett Favreau '26 interviews Timothy Bright."I’ve known Timothy for a while. The Richmond artist, originally Lil Dynamite, began his impressive music career with a comical verse on the song “Holy Trinity”. Since then, I’ve been following his music career as he’s evolved into a multi-talented artist whose phonk-inspired beats and short but energetic tracks hit on every level. Throughout the past few years, we’ve become mutuals on social media, and would occasionally spark up conversation. However, I recently had the pleasure of interviewing him, and learning more about all the things that make Timothy Bright the artist he is."Listen to Timothy's new album 'masmorra' here: open.spotify.com/album/1YgXhpc9DrYauD7x44Xbat?si=WLbM863yQvKwuAT_ulMvFw&nd=1
