Rapper, public speaker, podcast host, and founding member of Reach Records' 116 Movement, Tedashii's special sauce lies in his distinctive style and ability to transform pain and struggle into poignant music. Nicknamed TDot, the Texas-born and raised emcee has captivated fans with his energetic sound and booming voice for nearly two decades. His music has been featured on projects from notable brands and franchises such as Apple for the iPhone 14 "Action Mode" Commercial and most recently in the film Gran Turismo with his song "Get Out My Way" featuring Lecrae. Tedashii's music has been featured in notable syncs with brands such as YouTube's Black Creators, the Fast & Furious Video Game, Samsung, and Adidas.

On September 15, 2023, Tedashii released "Dead Or Alive Pt. 1," the first EP of a series he intends to roll out over the coming months. Throughout his life, Tedashii has been vocal about the various trials and tribulations he's endured, from losing his 1-year-old son, Chase, to more recently, the serious fall he took backstage on the We Are Unashamed Tour. He has always felt attacked by the enemy in a spiritual and literal way, but throughout that journey, he has learned to survive. The surprising combo release of Christmas songs at the end of 2023 showcased his amazing vocals and the diverse new styles we can look forward to in 2024. Anticipation is high for the release of his upcoming EP, where the message will continue to be a beacon of hope for those going through tough times.
