San Diego, CA – August 20, 2008 - Ten year-old Timyra-Joi of San Diego recently received the honor of being named winner by the Song of the Year (http://www.songoftheyear.com/ ) songwriting contest. Song of the Year is an international songwriting contest supporting VH-1’s Save the Music Foundation. The Song of the Year judges are some of the biggest names in music including many Grammy Award winners.
Song of the Year is excited to recognize Timyra-Joi and co-writer Becky Rash for their exceptional songwriting ability for the song “What Kind of World”. They competed against songwriters from all over the world for this honor. When asked what inspired the song Timyra-Joi explained that she wanted to sing about people believing they are able to make a difference. “When you listen to the chorus, when you ask the question, “What Kind of World Would it Be”, it opens up so many possibilities.” Becky Rash explains that Timyra came to their songwriting sessions with the idea that people could change the world if they followed their dreams and believed in themselves.
Currently Timyra-Joi is working in San Diego with Becky Rash and Becky’s husband, producer Ken Rash, who produced “What Kind of World”. The three enjoy working together and feel they have a lot in common in what they want their songs to say.
While Timyra-Joi is concentrating on her rising career as a singer, songwriter, and dancer she hopes to one day sign with a major record label. But it’s not about being famous for Timyra. She says she wants young people to be inspired by her and follow their dreams, just like she has.
