About The Dylema Collective

The Dylema Collective is a poetry-music project with sounds combining Neo-Soul, Contemporary Jazz and floaty R&B carefully blended with poly-rhythmic grooves and spoken-word poetry. Thematically, their feminist poetry addresses head-on matters of race, gender and individuality, values reiterated by the hidden message within their lead vocalist’s name’s acronym: “Do You. Let Every Man Adapt”.

In short, they love sharing music and poetry that shakes the mind, soul and body.
