Health and Wellness Work

The studio serves as a creative hub for Black artists, offering creative workshops, a Black marketplace, and even pole fitness courses.

A graduate of metro-Atlanta’s prestigious Stilwell School of the Arts and a Florida A&M University music scholarship awardee, Teylor has nearly two decades of professional art/music training and has been performing professionally for over a decade. To date, Teylor has released two self-recorded and produced music projects, Changes and Destiny’s Demos, both of which explore themes of growth and transformation set to neo-soul tones.
