My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 20/09/2006
Band Members: REALPOETRY'S own: Ty Miller and Blue Bellinger
Influences: Every poette who's ever reached out to us....which is too many to name. All the talent the flowed from the mics of every venue we hit. Everyone who's ever needed their voice heard but remained mute. Friends from cradle to hooptie (lol). Those who inpired us even if God wouldn't let you stick around long enough to see it (R.I.P. Chanelle Petro-nixon and Mike). Our mentor/second "dad"/friend Chris Slaughter and our extended REALPOETRY family.
Sounds Like: Floetry and Climbing Poetree spiced with daggers of truth in the middle of the hood. Youth inside the jungle gym of life playing with crack pipes left by their future role models. Hard times mixed in with Hard laughter.Nothing you're ready for. This profile was made at Whateverlife.com! :)
Record Label: Blood, sweat and tears inc.
