About Me



In short I'm a; Skater, Poet and Businessman.

I'm a performance poet widely influenced by, Ice-T, Gil Scott Heron and Saul Williams! And I am the owner of Discipline Skateboards!

I strive to bring something different to the scene. A different kind of Poet, a different way of getting my message across.

Here's a few things other people have said about by work;
