I am here for Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

The slam poet known as 6KILLA is 30 years old and was raised in the southwest part of the state of Washington, but now resides in Salem, Oregon. He first started writing around the age of 20, and now has two books under his belt, "Ramblings And Other Random Nothingness" (2006 6KILLA Productions) and the newest work "Poetic Jihad" (2007 6KILLA Productions). The later is available for purchase at any shows, or by contact on this page for the small sum of $5.00. His work tends to be more politically driven from personal experience coming from life in poverty as a child,his experience of being a US Army veteran, and research of current/past events in the world around us. 6KILLA is currently performing with Whos Next, The Famous Bum, Poverty, Dirty Dac, and DJ Gitdown, but will soon be starting another venture with Bob "Bongo Bob" Petitt (www.myspace.com/bongodoggie) who is an amazing percussionist with his afro cuban style of drumming. 6KILLA also is a co host on the radio show Mitakuye Oyasin along with Eugene Johnson, and David Liberty on 90.7 FM KBOO (www.kboo.fm for live web stream) out of Portland, OR every other Thursday from 1:30-3:00.
