About Me

He was able to hone in on his passion, poetry, while learning the techniques of novels, script and screenwriting. He received undergrad writer of the year honors from his school in 2007, which was his last year before taking on a full-time writing career. .... Jo'rell -stage name is Lyrical the Lyricist- has been performing spoken word poetry for eight years. In such time he's won countless poetry slams gaining the kinship and respect of some of the greatest poets to date. With writing partner Archie the Messenger he has written five poetry shows and a theater poetry play.
