Timothy Napper, a.k.a T-Rifik, is a producer, engineer, songwriter and videographer. His goal is to leave a mark on the music industry and he is well on his way to doing just that. Born in San Diego, California and raised in Hampton, Virginia, T-Rifik began venturing in to the music industry at an early age. Growing up, he learned to appreciate the creativity that goes into creating music through watching his father DJ at parties and events. This appreciation turned into desire to learn and, by the age of 13, he was producing tracks for himself as well as his friends. In 2009, T-Rifik experienced great acclaim and signed with G-Man Entertainment Music Group. RocBattle.com had crowned him the #1 producer - beating over 100,000 producers from around the world and winning more than 1900 out of over 2100 battles. Several of his other accomplishments include signing a publishing deal with The Orange Company, where he has obtained over 200 placements on MTV, VH1, Oxygen and many other networks. T-Rifik has produced for many local and industry artists.
