STORY
MELOETRY
MELODY + POETRY
HARLEM · NEW YORK
ARTIST STATEMENT
Meloetry is a Harlem-rooted, Dominican-American independent artist, writer, and visual creative working at the meeting point of melody and poetry. Harlem, Dominican heritage, reflection, struggle, growth, and culture remain present in the work.
HARLEM · NEW YORK
Harlem in the frame.
Harlem is part of Meloetry’s artistic and cultural context: a New York perspective held alongside Dominican-American identity, writing, and music.
The work moves through hip-hop, rap, soul, jazz, poetry, rhythm, storytelling, and emotion without separating one discipline from another.
