About Me


MyspaceDaddy.com - Myspace CodesMyspace Contact Tables Get a new banner!!!!Wow, about me. That's a whole lotta shhh... For now we'll start with this: 26 years old, 6'2", hazel eyes, slender build, crazy as hell but intellectual at the same time, kind hearted person with a past he's not proud of (how honest is that?), award-winning poet/spoken word artist, very open and opinionated. I try my best to find the best in others, even if they don't see it in theirselves. But just because you view someone as a good person, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are supposed to be in your life.For You (Live) ft Soul River Brown

Add to My Profile | More VideosI love performing spoken word. More than that, I love listening to others. It's amazing how many people have something to say yet radio nowadays doesn't let you hear any of it. Good music is just like the truth, you have to search for it. It's not gonna just fall in your lap on most occasions.The term "Lyrical Therapy" is something I came up with about three years ago. It was the name of the first open mic that I hosted back at Kentucky State University. Over time, the definition evolved from a cool ass title for an open mic to basically meaning any form of poetic or artistic expression. All of us have battles that we go through; the way many artists persevere through our trials and tribulations is through our writings and performances. Since most of us don't actually go to a shrink, the writing becomes the theraputic process through which we heal, or Lyrical Therapy.I have so much to say, so I guess I'll blog the rest when time permits... Peace and Blessings
