|||||
| From his hometown in Buffalo, NY to London, England JIVE POETIC has ignited microphones with humorous wordplay and thought provoking verbal display. During a lengthy deliverance of revolutionary regression to teen suicide and sex, JIVE POETIC opts to teach the masses a lesson in life. His incentive? Watching the reaction of his listeners. And after winning his first slam in January of 2001, it was understood that his audience heard every word he said. Soon, JIVE POETIC began to season his art form through feature performances at local New York and New Jersey venues earning his stripes as a verbal connoisseur after rave performances at the Brooklyn Moon to Serengeti Plains. The University of Buffalo graduate would later return home to claim Buffalo New York's Grand Slam title in 2002. A former member of the internationally recognized Tri-City slam team that won "The Cross The Boarder Slam" held in Toronto, Canada. In 2003, JIVE POETIC became a member of the Nuyorican Poetry Cafe's National Slam Team. While his voice is lightened in humor, his topics are heavy. Therefore, JIVE POETIC prepares to release his second solo CD "The Pain of a Crowded SOLitude" a spoken word production filled with sensual images and turmoil through the reflection of social acceptance. This Album is a follow up project to his First CD "Assault with a Loaded Statement." As a mindful poet, serious performer and inquisitive speaker, JIVE POETIC attempts to take his listeners in to a mind state beyond the obvious and dares you to listen, further.
