From mimicking his late uncle to emceeing weddings, corporate events, and church gigs, Timothy Marimuthu found his voice, fumbled forward, and never looked back.
We talk about his first awkward gig in college, his 15-year journey with Empowered Ministry, and what it really means to own the mic. Whether or not he’ll take it full-time? That’s still unfolding. But as he says: “Just do it.”
Available now on Spotify & YouTube.
