Super producer Timbaland will appear in an upcoming episode of ABC’s long running soap opera One Life to Live with a small acting role, as well as a performance with Mosley Music Group artist Keri Hilson.
In the episode, a character named Christine Vega is approached by a girl named Sara Roberts, who wants a job booking at the fictional club Capricorn.
The first major act booked is Timbaland, Hilson and a backing band, who perform their hit single “The Way I Are,” from Timbaland’s second solo album Timbaland Presents Shock Value, which hit #4 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
“Timbaland has made a vast contribution to the music industry as an artist and producer,” said executive producer Frank Valentini. “I am a huge fan of his music and we look forward to him appearing on our show.”
Timbaland and Hilson join artists like Mary J. Blige, Jeannie Ortega, Lifehouse, Simply Red, Chris Botti and Erykah Badu, all whom have made appearances on One Life To Live.
Timbaland will tape the episode of One Life to Live this Friday (September 21) while the actual show will air on October 9th.
