Dammien Alexander has seen enough. Born and raised in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, he experienced a full spectrum of ghetto reality. Part of that reality was struggling through the bowels of the foster care system, frequent expulsions from school and a family life rife with a prism of beauty / disfunction.
An only child and very introspective, Dammien began writing poetry. As he floated through the foster care system Dammien used his writings to log his emotions, first about love then about the state of things in his surroundings. He lost himself in music. Not just the Urban soul sounds of Philadelphia, but Dammiens eclectic taste had him buying albums by Billie Holliday, Olivia Newton John and U2.
Still at the core of his life was the skill of the lyricist. First demonstrated by Hip Hop hero LL Cool J and later by his exploring The Dave Matthews Band, Ben Harper, Prince and Jars of Clay. He took these influences with him from the United States to Canada and in this part of his journey Dammien Alexander evolves his creativity in two parts: Singer / Songwriter and Playwrite / Actor.
Everything you want to learn about this man is right there in the language of his soul.
