TESS PRESENTS: BYOC 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY
BYOC – (Bring Your Own Creativity) was the brainchild of TESS that came to life in March 2017. It was set to be an informal gathering of creatives from all areas to express themselves and their art and build a community of artists that would be able to be the iron that sharpens each other.
BYOC has since seen their personal success stories, such as the release of local rapper’s Lady Livz’ mixtape “Daddy Issues”, Sir Clarke and Aysha (Vibrant Vibrations) – the Jazzy paint duo dazzling art lovers all over town, Ballerina Buoy who is now teaching dance at the Edward Gartland Youth Center and the collaboration of so many artists producing original music.
Tess recently beamed about BYOC stating; “It was something I needed, the people I needed to commune with, the ones that I knew would understand me and cast no judgement. I know If I needed that – they did too. We’ve come together and been able to slowly build a platform for Turks and Caicos excellence and creativity. It’s just the beginning.”
The celebration starts off at 8pm with an open mic and then heats up at 10pm as the BYOC Allstars entertain the crowd with their best original pieces. Performers include
Hezron Henry – Poet and Graphic Artist
Dominique Rolle – Poet
TESS – Vocalist
Sir Clarke – Saxophone & Flute
Rebel Impulse – Culture Band
Too Lit to Quit – Dance Group and more
