Question: So you've been doing music for a long time, since you were really young. I imagine that you've gotten the chance to work with many musicians. Who was your favorite person that you've worked with?

Tim Rawbiz Williams: The favorite person I've worked with thus far... I would have to say Omarion.

Q: Why was he your favorite person to work with?

TRW: You it's just something about entertainers. You know I love Usher, and I'm a die hard Michael Jackson fan. It's like, working with male entertainers that dance and the whole pop thing... I don't know it's just something about that I really love. That's why I'm really looking forward to possibly making in this band with P. Diddy. He falls along the same line.

Q: Speaking of the show, how did you get along with it?

TRW: Well you know, I got a call from a friend one night and she asked if I was auditioning. I was like auditioning for what? And I had actually TiVOed that particular episode of Making the Band that Diddy made and blogged about auditioning and I hadn't seen it yet, but she told me about it. From that day I was like I think this is something I want to do.

Q: That's awesome! How was the audition process?

TRW: Oh!! It was tedious. They said no lining up before 7, I got in line at about 5am. So I didn't audition till about 5pm so I was in line for about 12 hours.

Q: Wow!! That's so long! So then you got on the show! I've seen some episodes of it and P. Diddy's kind of scary! Have you ever been scared or intimidated by him?

TRW: You I haven't really been intimidated by Diddy much. His presence is definitely an immaculate one. When he comes in the room the whole atmosphere changes but, me personally I haven't been intimidated by him. I guess the most I can say is he like what I was doing.

Q: Right, well that's good! So being on the show has to have its ups and downs. What's your favorite part, and the part that you dislike the most?

TRW: Well you know I definitely love everyone in the house for the most part. There are definitely a couple people you know that I wouldn't choose to hang out with or be associated with if I could say the least. However you know I just like it, I was raised as an only child, and being able to kind of wake up and go talk to one of my good friends. A couple people who I live with in the house I actually grew up with.

Q: Oh really?

TRW: Yeah there's actually a couple people in the house that I grew up with and I've known them since I was a young boy so it was cool that I was able to associate with them. But as far as things I didn't like... getting used to the entire production aspect of things and cameras being in your face 24/7 of course is definitely going to be different for someone that's not used to it. But it was a great experience. I'm definitely glad I did it and I look forward to doing it again.

Q: I'm sure the pressure was immensely hardcore, how did you deal with it?

TRW: For the most part, the pressure was hard, but for me the only thing I could say was pray. So I just prayed and asked God to help me through everything and make sure that I showed up in every challenge, and survived as much as I possibly could, as much as my skill would allow me to.

Q: You mentioned before that there were other people in the house that you wouldn't necessarily hang out with. Were their any fights or anything that happened while you were in the house?

TRW: Well... I'll say this, there were definitely opposing personalities. Some people were just very immature about things. Like there were situations that happened where people just didn't know things, things that were just dumb, like some people put pizzas in the oven with the cardboard still on it, like how dumb is that? Haha! There were just like some people that were you know, still young, Not everyone was adults and on their own so some people were still maturing and learning the path of life, I guess you could say. But some people who cool and most of the people I wouldn't hang out with were just immature and annoying people, which I'm sure you'll probably be seeing in the next few episodes.

Q: Haha, yeah I can imagine a house full of a bunch of guys, it would be hard to get along with everyone. Ok, one last question. I read that you name your basses after all your ex-girlfriends. How did that start?

TRW: Haha! You know my basses, as weird as it is, in between every relationship that was even worth remembering I got a new bass. I don't know, it's weird but all the basses end up kind of taking on the personality of my ex-girlfriends. I have Felicia, Maya, Angie, Niquelle, Jasmine, I have 2 Jasmines actually, and 2 different Stephanies. But it's just kind of something that just stuck. I just named 1 bass after a girlfriend and after that, I don't know. Everything just kind of took on a name, but it took on that personality as well. Jasmine's the one I've been playing and will probably be shown most in the show.
