Tyler Williams (born February 25, 1988), professionally known as T-Minus, is a Canadian record producer from Ajax, Ontario. He has produced for artists such as Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, Ciara, Drake, T.I., ASAP Rocky, Plies, LeToya Luckett, Birdman, Lil Wayne, Wale, August Rigo, Justin Bieber, Slaughterhouse and Ludacris among others. He is also signed to Drake's OVO Sound with Noah "40" Shebib.
T-Minus first started experimenting with music as a student at Pickering High School. "I’ve always loved music," he says. "I used to play the drums, so I’ve always been interested in music in that way." After sitting at the drum kit for a few years, he decided to try making his own rhythms, so he downloaded a digital audio workstation program called Fruity Loops when he was 15 years old and was soon creating entire songs.
"I’m just taking things to a new place as far as music goes. I don’t want to go to the same route that I was going to before so far as how everything sounds, how everything sits in your ears... I’m going back to the roots of R&B, mid-’90s, from hearing a Timbaland record, an Aaliyah, something from Blackground Music, for example. When the music had so much emotion."
He also won Top Producer at the 2012 BMI Urban Awards.
