Background & Biography: Demetrius Phillips aka Black PhoenixEven as a young child of five, Demetrius has had the finesse for writing. Presently at age 18, she has blossomed into an intellectual and a mature seventeen year old with the zeal and drive—those same motivating factors since age five-to write for self with the ultimate goal to share with the world.With a past laced with rough and troubling times, Demetrius uses those experiences to propel her writing. Her words are her outlet. Her essence of being. Demetrius uses the pen name Black Phoenix as a proclivity of her spirit. With her poetry she speaks from the heart about her life, the economy, injustices and other experiences that inspires her to write. Def Poetry serves as her muse and has inspired her inclination for the spoken word circuit. Not only does her poetry allows others to seep into her experience but it also makes one feel it and imagine it when she performs the quintessence of the words through her spoken word performances.***(Black Phoenix symbolizes my pain, fury, and emotions buring up inside and how I release it through my poetry, revealing the untold darkness bringing the hearers to the light.)***-------------------------------------------------- --------- Contact Information: For music or business purposes email me at, [email protected] ----------------------------------------------------------- Music page: www.myspace.com/youngducea -----------------------------------------------------------
