Who Is Courtney Timmons and What Is She Doing Now?

Courtney Timmons (born 1998; Age: 26 years old) is an American reality TV star who joined the Savannah auditions of the 18th edition of American Idol. Timmons is still part of the music industry, writing and releasing songs.

Though she excelled at the Tryouts in Savannah, the aspiring musician was eliminated during Hollywood Week after putting up a lackluster performance in a duet with her partner, Zack Dobbins. Even though she didn’t win any trophies from the contest, it helped launch Courtney’s career, and today she is listed as an upcoming singer with a single under her belt.

When Was Courtney Timmons Born?

The exact date of birth for Courtney Timmons is unknown, but according to reports, the former reality TV star and singer was born in 1998. Courtney was born in the Harris Neck part of Georgia Atlanta, which makes her a citizen of the United States, but the youngster’s appearance suggests that she is Afro-American by ethnicity.

The blossoming singer has never mentioned her parents and siblings in the public space, but she is from a Christian home. Her academic journey is equally not documented, but reports said she attended one of the local high schools in Harris Neck, though nothing has been said about her university education.

Courtney Timmons was just starting high school between the ages of 12/13 when she discovered that she was talented, but before then, she was already experimenting with music from the age of three. She is blessed with a good singing voice that would echo through their neighborhood whenever she starts singing.

During the American Idol of 2004, Courtney started idolizing one of the finalists who goes by the name, Jennifer Hudson, and has always aspired to be like the lady.

Courtney Timmons Before American Idol

Before she gained fame on the set of American Idol, Courtney Timmons’ was just an ordinary girl working and earning a living as a security guard in her locality, Harris Neck. She was still on the job by the time she appeared at the Savannah, but it is not known whether she went back to it or not.

Though she now has over 22k Instagram followers, Timmons’ old IG handle @courtney.timmons was only able to accumulate a paltry 1,500 followers. She also has another IG account, @slaye.dbycourt, for appointments, including official work.

The former reality television star launched her Twitter handle on the 1st of March 2020. So far, she has accumulated 168 followers, which may be because she is not very active on the platform. Courtney has just a few posts on her handle.

How Far Did Courtney Timmons Go?

Courtney Timmons was just 22 when she appeared on the audition set of the eighteenth season of American idol at the Savannah. She actually missed the deadline for the audition but was still given a chance to perform, thanks to Ryan Seacrest, who saw her outside singing.

According to Ryan, Timmons looked extremely tragic, and he just had to accost her to find out what was wrong. That was when Courtney narrated how she was supposed to be part of the auditions but missed the deadline. She lamented about how American Idol has always been her fantasy, and something has wished to do her entire life.

Timmons’s story elicited pity in Ryan, who decided to take her into the audition, and she was given a chance to perform even when they were not expecting her. She wasn’t previously given any contestant number, but everything fell into place for her as she took the stage.

As the tryouts started, she sang Rise Up by Andra Day, and as she skillfully brought the crescendo to climax, the three judges were wowed with the performance and gave her three yeses. Even Seacrest was reduced to tears as he walked toward Courtney Timmons to offer her the golden ticket to Hollywood.

Timmons was even more dumbfounded on hearing the judges describe her performance as the best they had witnessed for the day. Courtney appeared during Hollywood Week, where she was paired with Zack Dobbins to sing Ariana Grande’s, Dangerous Woman. They put up a collective performance so poor that the two of them got eliminated and never made it to the next round.
