Duke Arts at American Tobacco: Dior Ashley Brown
Dubbed “the Hip-Hop Polymath” by The Washington Post, Dior Ashley Brown is an award-winning emcee, actor, poet, and activist whose work fuses music, politics, and performance. She’s opened for artists from Esperanza Spalding to the Wu-Tang Clan, and even shared stages with Yo-Yo Ma.
A Recording Academy member and powerhouse in the D.C. arts scene, Brown is driven by a deep belief in the power of voice—using her platform to preserve the soul of hip-hop, uplift women, and build a legacy rooted in change.
