There, he met songwriter/producer Missy Elliott and producer Timbaland, who became his independent collaborators through the Nineties. Ginuwine's 1st lone, 1996's "Pony" from Ginuwine...A Bachelor, showcased his smooth vocals & Timbaland's innovative production style, & them became the hit-making duo.
