Spoken Word

Before moving to the Twin Cities (1996) my music was centered on Hip Hop and R&B and was heavily influenced by mainstream artists.  When I moved to Minneapolis I found that the Twin Cities Hip Hop scene was a difficult place to get my foot in the door.  I stumbled upon the art of spoken word as an outlet for my lyrical expression and became well known as a spoken word artist. The exposure I gained won me 5 MN Music Awards and 3 Urban Griots Awards. The success also allowed me to come back to my true love…Hip Hop.

The spoken word that I write is directly influenced by Hip Hop and carries many of the same elements of rhyme, pattern, hook & delivery.
