A Brooklyn, New York native named Timothy D. Wilson (TDWIL) who possesses a passion for music of all genres. Back in the days of hauling crates of albums and plugging into the street lights for power, he and some friends in their early teens, formed a music crew.
In those days, Tim was known as The Almighty Power-Lord, Mighty Mix Master Tee or Mighty Tee for short. Now having returned to his first love…music, Tim has transformed and adopted a new alias…DJ Square Knot, but never forgetting his roots as Mighty Tee which is evident in one of his tattoos!
Tim was raised by a very strong single mother who also had the support of her sister and brother, Tim’s aunt and uncle respectively, who all shaped and molded his Mindset to be that of determination, success, explore his creativity, and belief that anything he set his mind to do is possible.
Because of that support and teaching, Tim accomplished many things in his life starting with completing High School, being a successful SONAR Technician (AEP) in the United States Navy, becoming a well-respected and sought out Technology Specialist, an Entrepreneur, becoming a Worshipful District Deputy Grand Master and an Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite 33° Mason in one of the greatest fraternities in the world…Prince Hall Freemasonry!
Above all, his crown jewel of pride is being a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather (G-Pops/Pop-Pop).
Tim is a real Go-Getter who believes in family. A man who understands his design and purpose in Life and believes his steps have been ordered by God. Thereby, accepting what is revealed to him as he continues his endeavors of greatness while remaining humble.
For over a decade, Tim has had the dream of starting a nonprofit that would engage kids through the Arts just like when he was growing up and had the opportunity to attend two Summer Camps.
He recalls all the awesome activities he had the opportunity to experience such as performing in plays, drawing, painting, singing, playing sports, martial arts, and learning how to play musical instruments. While attending these camps, the counselors would always end the day with words of encouragement and ways to become leaders. Needless to say, this had a great impact on Tim’s life along with all he learned while serving in the military.
Upon lots of self reflection and analyzing his dream which soon became a vision, Tim decided to move forward with starting Square Knot Kids, Inc. A nonprofit with the focus of Engaging Youth Through The Arts.
Tim decided to use his DJ name Square Knot as part of the nonprofit’s name because kids would always say “DJ Square Knot, you have a cool name!” So he thought, let the kids name the nonprofit since they think the name is cool.
Now, that Square Knot Kids is alive and moving forward, the mission and vision are the motivation to changing the lives of all kids we engage.
