Producer king Timbaland has been chosen to receive the Honorary Patron award from Ireland’s prestigious Trinity College Dublin.

Each year, the school’s Philosophical Society chooses an elite group of people to carry on its honored traditions, which started over three hundred years ago, those who are chosen are invited to share their knowledge, experience and expertise with the college students.

A spokesman for the society said “Timbaland is a remarkable individual whose contribution to music is simply astonishing, e is the most sought after producer on the planet, and why wouldn’t he be. He has produced an impossibly large number of hits. It is a real honor for us to host such an accomplished musician. The members of the Society are very much looking forward to Timbaland’s arrival.”
