Rapper, public speaker, podcast host, and founding member of Reach Records' 116 Movement, Tedashii's specialty lies in his distinctive style and ability to transform pain and struggle into poignant music. Nicknamed TDot, the Texas-born and raised emcee has captivated fans with his energetic sound and booming voice for nearly two decades. His music has been featured on projects from notable brands and franchises such as Apple for the iPhone 14 "Action Mode" Commercial and most recently in the film Gran Turismo with his song "Get Out My Way" featuring Lecrae. Tedashii's music has been featured in notable syncs with brands such as YouTube's Black Creators, the Fast & Furious Video Game, Samsung, and Adidas. His single "Gotta Live" hit #1 on the Billboard Christian Hot AC/CHR chart. His album, "Never Fold," debuted at #8 on the Christian Billboard chart, while his previous album "Below Paradise" debuted at #17 on the Billboard 200 chart. His single "Dum Dum" has accumulated over 16M views.

On September 15, 2023, Tedashii released "Dead Or Alive Pt. 1," the first EP of a series he intends to roll out over the coming months. Throughout his life, Tedashii has been vocal about the various trials and tribulations he's endured, from losing his 1-year-old son, Chase, to more recently, the serious fall he took backstage on the We Are Unashamed Tour. He has always felt attacked by the enemy in a spiritual and literal way, but throughout that journey, he has learned to survive. The surprising combo release of Christmas songs at the end of 2023 showcased his amazing vocals and the diverse new styles we can look forward to in 2024. Anticipation is high for the release of his upcoming EP, where the message will continue to be a beacon of hope for those going through tough times.

He is the founder of the Chase Foundation—an organization geared towards serving families who have lost children and being a present help for future hope. He is the originator of Chase Wellness, the CEO of Unashamed Ministries, and the host of his podcast The Dash.

Derek Minor is a member of a small, elite class of hip hop artists who are adept at MCing, producing, and running their own companies. Two of his albums, 2015’s Empire and 2013’s Minorville, reached Number 6 on the Top Rap Albums chart, and 2011’s Dying to Live achieved the Number 11 spot. His wordplay and relatable lyrics have made him an in-demand collaborator who has worked with the likes of Lecrae, Andy Mineo, and Colton Dixon.

Minor released his sixth album, Reflection, on October 14, 2016, on his Reflection Music Group in partnership with Entertainment One. The album includes the lead single “You Know It,” “Until I’m Gone” featuring BJ The Chicago Kid, “Love Go High” featuring Chrisette Michele, “I’m Good” featuring Janice Gaines, among other tracks.

“The overall message of this record is you really are made for greatness,” Minor explains. “You’re not the sum of your mistakes. We are all imperfect. You were made to be greater than your probably realize.” 

Inspired by his jazz musician father, mother, Tupac, DMX, Kanye West and Curtis Mayfield, Minor demonstrated his passion for music at a young age, producing his first song, a 60-bar rap, when he was 12 years old. 

After receiving his bachelor’s degree in Record Industry Management at Middle Tennessee University, Minor released his first album, The Blackout, on his own label, Reflection Music Group, a partnership with his friend Doc Watson. The Blackout was followed by Redemption in 2010. His next two albums, Dying to Live and Minorville, were released in collaboration with Lecrae’s Reach Records. For his fifth album, Empire, he began a partnership with Entertainment One. Additionally, he has released a half a dozen mixtapes.

As a producer, Minor received a 2015 Dove Award for his production contributions to Lecrae’s Anomaly album. Minor’s Reflection Music Group roster includes celebrated acts Canon, Tony Tillman, and Deraj.
