Selah the Storyteller a Brooklyn, NY native has been writing poems, songs, short stories, plays and novels since he was 10. He made his debut as a spoken word artist on the NY stage of the NuYorican Café in 1992 and hasn’t stopped performing since. “The stage is intoxicating;†he’ll say if asked why he loves it so. During his time as a truck driver between 1998 and 2001 he read on open mic stages all over the country. He lived in Atlanta for eight years where the strong poetry circuit helped him to sharpen his craft and shape his style. Over time his poetry morphed into a fusion of gospel and reggae, which was well accepted in his travels. Now back in Brooklyn he is the owner and operator of 12 Lions Entertainment which promotes talent showcases and fashion shows, offers consultation for every genre of performing art from vocal lessons to image and stage presence to demo recording and press kit production. He is presently recording his first CD “Diving into the Skyâ€. His music can be best described as roots reggae with lyrics that are grounded in the Gospel. Most recently he has been heard on BlogTalkRadio.com on Queen U Nique’s Queen Speaks , Sun of Man and Sankara’s DeHitmen , Nitebreaks with Epiphany and Trulyblessed and many others.Some of his music as well as spoken word pieces can be heard on myspace.com at www.myspace.com/selahthestoryteller and www.myspace.com/12lions

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS! I am an aspiring reggae artist trying to get my album recorded. Reggae music is Spiritual and I've added lyrics that express my love and respect for the MOST HIGH YHWH. I hope you all are touched by what I've recorded thus far and I pray Yah will bless me with the chance to record more but it the meantime feel free to check my blogs where I've put the lyrics to these and several other psalms.Here I have some of my artwork. It's just a hobby but one I enjoy. I have this one drawn on the wall in my living room. If I knew how to paint...I titled this one "Don't go." because I wouldn't want her to leave me but she looks nice walking away.This my try at doing a portrait of Lela Rochon. I always thought she was so hot! She have made me call my wife and say "I'm never comin' home again!"Just a pretty face so I titled it "PrettyFace"This is a portrait I did of a girl I met on a dating site a few years ago. It's titled "Chained"This is my attempt at Lauryn Hill. She actually turned out looking more like a friend of mine.
