DIFFERENT TYPE OF DIFFERENT
“We’re creating a system where people are valued just as much as their talents.” -Ayo Nish!
Different Type of Different is a creative movement and ecosystem that spans art across all mediums — from youth residencies and live shows to storytelling projects and DTOD TV. At its core, DTOD is about rewiring the system to value people as much as their talent, creating platforms that inspire, empower, and transform communities. Through education, social-emotional learning, and cultural collaboration, DTOD builds experiences that last far beyond the moment.
Different Type of Different is more than a brand — it’s a movement built to shift culture from the inside out.
Every workshop, live show, and creative project helps young people and emerging artists see what’s possible when art meets purpose.
Your support fuels spaces where creativity and community thrive — where the next generation of vibe curators, storytellers, and changemakers learn to build, lead, and dream differently.
When you give, you’re not donating — you’re investing in the future of culture.
DTOD IN THE COMMUNITY
Cardi B Giveback — Newburgh, NY
Back home in Ayo Nish!’s hometown, DTOD collaborated with local organizations and Cardi B’s team to create a community giveback that encouraged the importance of reading while bringing music, resources, and joy to families. This project reflects the heart of DTOD — rooted in community, powered by partnership, and committed to uplifting people where it matters most.
