Timothy L. Blystone II, known as Timbo, was born in Nashville in 1982. He grew up in a violent home. At nine he moved in with his grandparents in East Nashville. His grandfather died a few months later, and his grandmother raised him from there.

He came up on Haywood Lane and Shelby Avenue and was in the streets from his early teens. He left school in the ninth grade, got his GED, and started taking music serious. In 2009 he put out a mixtape, Anotha Day, Anotha Dollar.

His grandmother died in 2014. In 2018 he left the street life for good. For years after that he was broke, lived out of his car, worked warehouse jobs and drove for Uber.

In 2025 he went from chatting with AI to building with it: local-first AI systems, multi-agent workspaces and full-stack apps. He resides in the same city that shaped him.
