Teyana Taylor's Aunties 360 Inc: Fostering Creativity in Film

Teyana Taylor is no stranger to the spotlight. She has experienced fame through her work as an artist, dancer, music video producer, and choreographer. Since Teyana first appeared on the screen when she was barely 17, she has blossomed to heights no one ever imagined. After announcing her retirement from music in 2020, the singer started making huge moves in the film industry. Teyana launched her production company, Aunties 360 Inc, alongside her partner in crime, Coco Gilbert. Take a look at Teyana Taylor’s rise in the video production industry.

Teyana’s music career began when she was only 16. She broke the ceiling when she served as Beyonce’s choreographer in the “Ring The Alarm” video at 16. The “Rose In Harlem” artist got signed by Pharell William’s Interscope Records, spiraling her into greater heights in the music industry. And as they say, the rest is history. But what about her portfolio in the film sector?

Teyana Taylor appeared in numerous films, including Stomp The Yard: Homecoming, Madea’s Big Happy Family, and Coming 2 America. She also starred in her reality TV show alongside her husband, We Got Love: Teyana & Iman. Without a doubt, Teyana is no stranger to the camera. Her immense experience would come in handy once she began her entrepreneurial journey.

Shortly before the talented choreographer turned 30, the artist broke the internet with news that she’d be retiring from the music industry. She wanted to cut ties with her record company — but this didn’t mean quitting her career.

The gifted dancer would soon announce the launch of her company, Aunties 360 Inc. Together with her long-time friend Coco Gilbert, the duo bought a five-acre compound in Harlem. Teyana grew up in Harlem and loves the place as it reminds her so much of how far she’s come. The property includes production, recording, and dance sections. It also holds prop studios, equipment, and 360 green screen rooms.

While speaking on the achievement, the duo disclosed that their goal was to nurture talent and creatives like themselves. They are trying to reach talents that can transform the film industry into the unthinkable. However, the most important thing is that Teyana’s new company represents her sisterhood ties. Her support system in the industry has undoubtedly molded her career.

As a fully-fledged production company, Aunties 360 has won important gigs. The all-femme company has done a few music videos and visual works for huge names such as Ty Dollar Sign and Lil Duval. They are also the masterminds behind Lil Durk’s and Queen Naija’s “Lie To Me” videos. The Aunties 360’s founder won an award in 2020 and 2023 at the BET Awards for the Best Video Director of the Year. There is no denying Taylor’s remarkable talent.

Teyana may have ended her singing career, but she’s just getting started on her path. The songstress paid homage to her birthplace when she starred in the film A Thousand And One. Although Taylor’s company didn’t produce the film, fans expect exhilarating projects from the star soon. She is simply a gift that keeps giving.
