Rap artist, Producer, and Song Writer Timothy Russell AKA Guilla is an artist known for his esoteric, often sagacious and juxtaposing style and extreme emphasis on percussion. His travels at a young age reflect a style influenced by an array of sounds and genre’s.

Guilotine was raised in a household where his father - a DJ from New York - and Mother - an Opera Singer from England - traveled avidly due to his father’s military career. Guilotine was born in Japan, but journeyed to central California, England, Northern California, Virginia, and eventually, Texas. It was during his time in Virginia that he began to realize his dream as a musician.

Virginia has produced such Hip-Hop and R&B legends as The Neptunes, Timberland & Missy Elliot, which Guilotine credits as some of his favorite artists. Spending much time in Virginia Beach on a scholarship at Virginia Wesleyan College, he began to develop his musical talents inspired by the rich musical culture of the Old Dominion State. Although he claims his biggest production influence is the Icelandic artist known as Björk. After losing a tennis scholarship in 2008 due to an injury, he relocated to the University of Houston to focus on his Psychology degree.

It was in Houston Texas that Guilotine started producing. After establishing his dexterity in production, Guilotine met with an underground artist by the name of Paco Dandada. During a recording session, Dandada encouraged Guilotine to write a verse to a song that was being recorded. It was during this same recording session that Guilotine wrote his first 16 bars and was invariably introduced to his favorite medium, rapping.

After recording 3 projects: "FYI Volume One," "The Failure," and "Super Novas" (all unreleased do to dissatisfaction of the final Product) Guilotine released his first single "Gravity" in 2013 accompanied by a close friend and fellow artist from Houston, Kenno Supreme.

Currently Guilotine is working on an LP with artists, Kenno Supreme & Mark. The much anticipated project will be produced by Guilotine and feature a variety of song styles from DubHop, Trap, and Esoteric. Guilotine is also an avid gamer and anime fan - a facet often reflected in his music from the surrealism, to the often operatic soundtracks of many anime productions.
