Thoughts from a crazy TONY AWARD WINNER.
About Me:
Whenever someone is looking for a poet, POETRI is the main one on the list. He was one of the first poets to win a TONY AWARD with his own material on Broadway for Def Poetry Jam. Just recently, POETRI was personally invited by President Obama to attend the first ever Spoken Word Event at the WHITE HOUSE. When people think of poetry, they think of POETRI first. POETRI was the poetic voice for the popular KCAL Nine Lakers commercials and, in fact, has written and appeared in over 150 commercials for clients like Subway, Gatorade, Nike, NFL Films, BET and Arbys. Let the record be known that regarding POETRI as just a poet would be underestimating his abilities. POETRI has also been blazing the TV and movie screens with appearances in such popular movies as BLADES OF GLORY and YES MAN. Some of his television appearances include THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW, TYLER PERRYS HOUSE OF PAYNE, BONES, RAISING THE BAR, LINCOLN HEIGHTS, as well as being a major thread to the storyline of the ground-breaking reality documentary Black.White with Ice Cube. He also has conquered the Internet with the record breaking Snickers digi-sodes INSTANT DEF along with the Black Eyed Peas and won the grand prize of ten thousand dollars in the last online Spoken Word competition for FAMECAST.
