GROWTH: The Album... SPRING '08! WAKE UP!

About Me

WHAT MAKES ONE DIFFERENT? Sometimes it is simply the courage to stand out by being one's self. To go right when it is so easy to go left. Quill is the epitome of this theory. Born in Hartford, CT and raised between Plainfield, NJ and Charlotte, NC, Quill discovered his talent for rhyming and breaking complex ideas down to layman terms in an eloquent and passionate manner at 9 years old. Since then, he has honed his gifts and used them to touch lives. From Florida to Michigan, from churches to nightclubs, colleges to middle schools, the hood to the burbs; Quill has the ability to reach EVERYONE, no matter what background, and make them see the total picture. He has opened for artists ranging from Shareefa to Saul Williams to Patti Labelle. Quill is not just an artist; he is a FORCE, as a force affects everything it comes in contact with. Being purpose driven in a world that promotes mediocrity makes his impact that much more relevant.Hip Hop Pre-Summit Talent Showcase
