#performance poet

LIVE

I have done this with music, without music in primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, universities, corporate functions, festivals, prisons, stadiums, clubs, concerts, the streets and in every kind of situation. The aim is to go in and let your stories, your poetry, your bars and your art speak and hopefully connect in some vital way.

I have a limited time to win people who have probably never even heard of me over. I love it that I am not that known for this reason because when it goes well, it shows that it was only the words and the way I delivered them that connected and mattered. I have no real hype or “fame” to get the crowd going. It’s the thrill of the challenge to deliver that keeps things exciting.

Now I do actually do things WITH music that I made myself (I produce all my music) but when I do it without music to “help” the words connect and people respond to what I’m delivering, it’s a feeling unlike any other. This is what I do. Put me anywhere. I will bring it! I even come off the top of the dome and totally improvise because that’s what we emcees do!

So nice they asked me to do it twice.
