About Me

Built & distributed in 1981, an iconic group of individuals merged together to form the Minneapolis creation – The Time


Seven times talented – seven times fashionable – seven times musical influences – Monte, Jesse, Morris, Jerome, Terry, Jimmy & Jellybean are the nucleus one of the most influential bands in modern music history.


Minneapolis native & fellow music legend Prince helped to formulate this group of ambitious & academically accomplished young men into a well tuned machine that at times intimidated even Prince because of their precision, stage presence & domination of their craft. The Time is a force to be reckoned with.


Nearly 30 years has past and The Time has a faithful following of fans from around the world. These fans are not only lovers of The Time’s music. The fans have followed the successful individual careers of each member of the group. Actor, Oscar Award Nominee, President of the Recording Academy, Producer, Multi-Talented Musician – All these titles represent what The Time means to music & business.
