Tone Melo – Creative Director | Filmmaker | Music Artist | PR Strategist

Tone Melo is a multidisciplinary creative force whose work spans film, music, and strategic branding. Born in Baltimore and raised just outside of Philadelphia, Tone’s early exposure to storytelling and culture set the foundation for a dynamic career in the arts. In 2014, he moved to California to pursue film full-time, earning a degree in Film Production from Los Angeles City College.

Tone’s filmmaking journey includes notable contributions such as Crooked Strings (2018), where he served as writer, director, and actor, playing the role of “Water Guy.” His work is recognized for its emotional depth, visual creativity, and commitment to cultural authenticity.

As a music artist, Tone Melo is also the frontman and lead vocalist of the genre-blending band Culture Day, a post-punk/alt-rap duo known for electrifying performances and a deeply nostalgic, experimental sound. His unique vocal tone and poetic, raw lyricism have earned him recognition as the pioneer of a new hybrid genre — merging post-punk, rap, and dark wave influences — recently coined Blackwire or Postwave Rap.

Tone’s upcoming solo EP S P A C E S showcases his ability to craft atmospheric, emotionally rich soundscapes inspired by projects like The Weeknd’s Kiss Land. He self-produces much of his music and integrates cinematic elements through interludes and sampled film dialogue to elevate the listening experience.

In addition to his work in music and film, Tone recently earned a certificate in Public Relations after completing a specialized internship. This experience laid the groundwork for his independent PR and media agency, Nappy Bear Media Group, which aims to support rising artists and brands across multiple U.S. cities.

Whether on stage, behind the camera, or in the boardroom, Tone Melo continues to merge innovation with authenticity — crafting a legacy driven by vision, impact, and a refusal to be boxed in.
