Meet Ashley Hughes & O’Teesha Cornelius | Co-Creators of Lyrically In Tune

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashley Hughes & O’Teesha Cornelius and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ashley & O’Teesha, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Lyrically in Tune was created by two friends who have a shared love for music, culture, and good times. What started as casual conversations about favorite songs and unforgettable concerts quickly turned into a vision: a space where music lovers could vibe, connect, be competitive, and sing some of their favorite songs. As true fans of Hip-Hop and R&B music, we felt the need to create a game that wasn’t just about listening to music but about creating an experience that everyone could enjoy together.

Whether it’s a track that takes you back to a moment or a song that defines a generation, Lyrically in Tune is here to highlight the beauty in it all.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
It’s all about balance—project managers by day, but once the sun sets, we dive headfirst into our creative passions. Our daytime grind has sharpened our skills in planning, leading, and making things happen, but it’s the nights where we let our imaginations run wild. Every late-night brainstorming session, every project we brought to life after hours, has led us to this point. It hasn’t always been easy, but mixing structure with creativity has fueled us, pushing us to chase our passions and build something we’re truly proud of.

Creating Lyrically in Tune wasn’t without its challenges! We went through a lot of trial and error to get it just right. We hosted countless game nights with friends, testing out different versions and soaking up all the feedback. Each time, we tweaked the rules, the clues, and the scoring until we found that perfect mix. Now, we’re all about making sure everyone has a blast while celebrating the music we love!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
There is always something going on in Atlanta. Are you sure 1 week is enough?

Atlanta Beltline, no doubt. It is your perfect dose of people watching, great food, live music, and seeing a diverse representation of everything Atlanta has to offer.

Food Halls are a definitely a must try. There is something for everyone and you can get an array of different cuisines. Our faves are The Works at Chattahoochee, Krog Street Market, and Southern Feed Store (Sinful Sliderz is so good!)

If you are in town during a concert, festival, or sporting event, that is always a plus. Atl fans have the best energy and it is infectious! Good times for sure!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
