““I don’t box myself into one medium—I use whatever works to bring my vision to life. In the studio, it’s all about versatility, making sure my work hits people on a deeper level. At the end of the day, my focus is on creating visual experiences that truly resonate.””
DUBELYOO BIO
Dwayne "Dubelyoo" Wright doesn’t just create art—he builds experiences that shift culture. A visionary artist, curator, and creative force, he has forged his own path, transforming underground art spaces into powerful cultural movements that transcend traditional gallery walls. His background in illustration informs his storytelling, capturing the raw energy, rhythm, and resilience of African American life and other often-overlooked communities.
Raised in North Carolina, Dubelyoo honed his craft at East Carolina University, earning a BFA before making his mark in Atlanta, where he became a defining force in the city’s art scene. As co-founder and curator of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey Art, Beats + Lyrics, he has spent over two decades producing one of the nation’s most influential art and music exhibitions—a show so powerful that crowds have wrapped around city blocks over a hundred times just to experience it.
His work extends into television, film, and professional sports, collaborating with global brands like Red Bull, Coca-Cola, Sony, Adobe, and Microsoft. He also served as executive producer on his first documentary, which premiered on Hulu and was featured in film festivals across the U.S. Recognizing his impact on the arts, the mayor of Atlanta honored Dubelyoo and his business partner with an official day in their name—a rare tribute to their lasting contributions.
Dubelyoo’s influence goes beyond his own work. His curatorial projects have transformed NBA, NFL, and MLB venues into immersive, electrifying art spaces. Through mentorship and advocacy, he is committed to uplifting the next generation of artists, ensuring they have the opportunities and knowledge to thrive. Whether through his own art, curation, or mentorship, his mission remains clear: to create, to connect, and to redefine the way people experience and engage with art.
