We recently connected with Tellie Floydd and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Tellie thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
Born in Dominican Republic grew up in the heart of Uptown and pulsing with that Dyckman DNA, my mission is simple: turn real stories into cultural moments. I’m a Dominican creative and hip-hop artist who sees the world in rhythm — where every frame hits like a bar and every beat paints a picture. From gritty visuals to clean edits, I fuse high-level production with raw truth to amplify voices that deserve the spotlight. Style, sound, soul — I’m here to help others get seen, heard, and remembered in a world that moves fast and forgets easy.
Tellie, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’m a Dominican creative raised in Uptown Manhattan, where the rhythm of the block and the energy of Dyckman shaped everything I do. My world has always been filled with music, visuals, and culture — so it was only right that I leaned into storytelling through videography, photography, and hip-hop.
I got into this game out of necessity — real-life moments needed to be captured, and nobody was doing it how we saw it. What started with a camera and a hunger to document turned into a full-blown creative lane. I shoot, edit, direct, color grade — the whole nine. Whether it’s a music video, event recap, brand story, or original content, I bring high-level production with an authentic Uptown voice.
My work isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about emotion. I help clients and collaborators translate their raw energy into something timeless. I’ve worked with musicians, entrepreneurs, streetwear brands, dispensaries, and community leaders who all share one thing: they want their vision to feel real. That’s where I come in.
What sets me apart is the combination of culture, quality, and commitment. I bring a cinematic eye, street-informed style, and a genuine love for amplifying voices that deserve the spotlight. I don’t chase trends — I chase truth. And that honesty shows up in every frame, lyric, and project I touch.
What I’m most proud of is being able to do all this while staying rooted in who I am — a Dominican kid from Uptown using creativity as a passport, a mirror, and a microphone. If you’re looking for visuals or music that hit different — something soulful, stylish, and real — that’s exactly what I deliver.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Great work and even better energy
