The Michigan native has what can only be described as a voice to heal the soul. His smooth timbre and rich milky falsetto resonate even after the music stops. Where he shines, though, is his ability to hone in on his musical background and find the perfect place within each chord and the rhythm. The cultivation process has been years in the making, however. On any given Sunday, over the past 15 years, there's a good chance you'd hear a young Tim Bowman Jr. using his God-given gift to sing the gospel and inspirationally move the congregation to tears with a simple walk into his childhood church.
It seemed like just yesterday Bowman wowed the industry singing alongside gospel sensation, Vickie Winans. At just 17 years old, Bowman used his precocious talent to melodically scat - reminiscent of jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald - on the hit single Shake Yourself Loose Remix . We heard him again on Winans' gospel hit song, How I Got Over. Since then, the now 23 year old has traveled the country singing with his famous aunt and also singing with his father, Smooth Jazz veteran, Tim Bowman. There's no question that music is ubiquitous to the young artist's makeup.
Now, Tim Bowman Jr. has taken the reigns and after many years of sitting under some of the best in the business, he's ready to release his debut album. Finally, Bowman is giving his take on the subject. The highly anticipated album is dedicated to his first love, Jesus Christ; highlighting the healing power and pure love that comes from his relationship with God.
All his experiences and opportunities have helped mold Bowman as an artist. "I've recorded an album intended to evoke genuine human emotion and enlighten the world on the love of Christ." Bowman says, "Nice beats are cool. New sounds are hot. But, what I want most is for people to feel again."
In an era saturated with throbbing 808's accompanied with lyrics boasting of negativity and materialism, the purest and most refreshing breath is taken after hearing Bowman's first offering. His sound is definitely different...in a good way. Bowman has pulled from his musical influences of jazz, alternative, gospel and soul music to present a work that will undeniably change the game. "Each song should stand alone. Sometimes, you only have one chance for a person to hear and connect with your message. I want every person who listens to this album to not only get that message but also to feel the FUN I had making it," Bowman says.
Describing his music as "Christian & Gospel", Tim's debut album features gospel superstars, Vickie Winans and Dorinda Clark-Cole. His first single, "He Will" featuring his aunt, Vickie Winans, sticks pleasantly to the gospel tradition and will, no doubt, quickly climb the gospel charts. One of the strongest offerings is the moving declaration, "Healer." The simple yet pure praise and worship ballad is a reflection of Bowman's faith. Tim says, "It's all there. Everything you need to understand about His power is in the words to this song." Executive produced by his father, Tim Bowman, who has been producing his own critically acclaimed records for years, the album is nothing close to amateur. While the young artist is new to the industry, the quality stands with the best of them.
I'm Good
Tim Bowman Jr. Lyrics

You're my hero
How you doing?
How you stay strong?
Let 'em all know
There's so much that I've been through
I have my days when, it's true y'all
I just can't smile, I just wanna cry
But when I think of the goodness
That's come to me
It's easier to let go of all my grief
Sometimes you gotta tell yourself
That I'm not having it
Just take a good look in the mirror
Say to yourself I've come too far to quit
(So say I'm good) Good enough to love myself
(So good) Good enough to have success
(Yeah, yeah yeah) What you gain from all your stress is the freedom to know that you are blessed
(I'm good) Good enough to handle my biz
(So good) Good enough to raise my kids
(Yeah, yeah yeah) The past is the past and honestly
I'm happy for where I'm at because I'm good
People ask me am I confident
I reply with every now and then
But life comes down to two things
And that's rejection and acceptance
So I reject that there's no peace
And I accept that I am free
But that's all I have to be
That's all I'll ever need
Because when I think of the goodness
That's come to me
It's easier to let go of all my grief
Sometimes you gotta tell yourself
That I'm not havin' it
Just take good look in the mirror
Say to yourself, I've come too far to quit
(So say I'm good) Good enough to love myself
(So good) Good enough to have success
(Yeah, yeah yeah) What you gain from all your stress is the freedom to know that God is blessed
(I'm good) Good enough to handle my biz
(So good) Good enough to raise my kids
(Yeah, yeah yeah) The past is the past and honestly
I'm happy for where I'm at because I'm good
All my People let me tell
And I'mma say it loud and clear
And you listen
So you'll hear me
So you never will forget
You're good enough to get that job
You're good enough to drive that car
And on top of all these things
You're good enough to have your dreams
Come on let me hear you say
(I'm good) Good enough to love myself
(So good) Good enough to have success
(Yeah, yeah yeah) What you gain from all your stress is the freedom to know that you are blessed
(I'm good) Good enough to handle my biz
(So good) Good enough to raise my kids
(Yeah, yeah yeah) The past is the past and honestly
I'm happy for where I'm at because I'm good
The song I'm Good by Tim Bowman Jr. is all about self-acceptance and self-love. The singer is acknowledging that he has gone through some tough times, and there are days when he just can't seem to put on a smile. He admits that it's not an easy journey and sometimes just to be alive feels like work. However, he also focuses on the goodness in his life and how it helps him let go of his grief. He realizes that sometimes he needs to remind himself that he's not giving up and that he's come too far to quit. The chorus of the song is an affirmation of his self-worth and his ability to handle his business and raise his kids.
The second verse is about rejection and acceptance in life. The singer acknowledges that rejection is a part of life but he chooses to reject the idea that there's no peace in his life. Instead, he accepts that he is free and that's all he needs to be. The bridge of the song is all about inspiring others to believe in themselves. The singer tells his listeners that they are good enough to get that job, drive that car and most importantly, they are good enough to have their dreams come true.
The lyrics and the overall theme of the song encourage listeners to focus on the good things in their lives and to believe in themselves. It's a message of hope and positivity that reminds us that we are all "good enough" to achieve our dreams.

I have had suffered from clinical anxiety since I was a child. I've had to face many challenges because of this sickness even the feeling of "You're not enough" Now this song comes and opens my eyes, it tells me something no one never had told me: that I am more than enough. Thank you, Tim.
