About

What Makes Us a Collective

History

Tom, Bailey, and Dalmo met a long time ago in Jenks, America. Back then, they were nothing more than familiar faces in the cafeteria, friends of friends, just classmates. They weren't friends on facebook, and they weren't friends in real life.

Fast forward to 2016. Tom, Bailey, and Dalmo are all living in New York City, leading their separate, busy lives. They soon realize they're surrounded by a cast of Jenks High School classmates living in New York and decide to meet up. As fate would have it, out of all those worker bees, T, B, and D were the only ones who had the luxury of sipping mimosas in a cafe during work hours, so they bonded and the TBD trinity was born. 

 

Future

TBD has many dreams. The 2010s were big for us, and the roaring 20s will be even better. Take a look at our future projects and let us know if you're interested in participating.
