In this milestone episode, ThinkTimm and DJWarmCookies (aka Willa May) step into a new chapter of the podcast, inviting listeners to rediscover the heart and hustle behind the Why Make Music… series. As the 30th episode unfolds, we go beyond just sound and storytelling—we dive deep into soul, upbringing, legacy, and the truth of independent artistry.
ThinkTimm reintroduces himself—not as a star, but as a lifelong student of sound. From the boom boxes on Cedar Park Ave to Prince concerts with friends from the block, he takes us on a journey that’s rich with memory and meaning. We hear about the legacy of his great-grandmother Willa Mae, the mentorship of his stepfather, cassette tape experiments with his brother, and the homegrown hustle that birthed over 156 instrumental tracks across six albums.
This episode is an ode to old-school struggle tech, Philly soul, sidewalk cyphers, and the power of musical influence—from John Williams to Miles Davis, Salt-N-Pepa to Steely Dan. Through dual narration between DJWarmCookies and ThinkTimm (via professional vocal clone), we blend past, present, and possibility.
If you're new here, welcome. If you’ve been riding with us, thank you. This episode is a reset, a reflection, and a reminder: you don’t need fame to make something timeless. You just need purpose, patience, and the right playlist.
