Timbaland Creating New Music For The TV Adaptation Of The Graphic Novel 'Neon Empire'

Timbaland is set to executive produce a TV adaptation of the graphic novel 'Neon Empire'. Created by Jared Gutstadt of Audio Up Media, the novel will be released by Z2 this fall. It follows Kountry Boi, a "hick-hop" star rising in Nashville's criminal underworld. Timbaland and Gutstadt will curate the soundtrack, blending country and hip-hop talents. The novel will feature integrated music experiences via QR Codes, showcasing an innovative approach to storytelling.

“This is innovative storytelling and music at its most disruptive,” said Timbaland. “Jared and I think the same and have done lots of great work with one another. When we get together, the results are epic. New lanes like graphic novels create new laneways for music discovery and stars of the future.”
