Professional performance poet and spoken word/slam workshop facilitator and coach. Among the top ranking slam poetry champions in the nation.
Through a city grant, we were able to bring Breeze The Poet to Michigan for The Poetry Room Open Mic at The Robin Theatre, where we packed the house! Breeze performed a great feature, and stuck around for the entire event to talk to everyone. He was friendly and accessible to all of our guests. He comes with high praise. You can tell he is a master of his craft and really cares. I would recommend anybody to book Breeze.
He has also been coaching me as well for the last two years, which if there are anybody who may be reading this and interested in services, this may be something you may want to contact Breeze about.
Book Breeze! Great show & consistently draws a crowd. Fresh words delivered an unparalleled performance straight from the heart.
Response from Breeze The Poet:

What you would expect to get from a poetry feature from me is a honesty, vulnerability, passion, and love. I cherish these attributes about myself and like Frank's Red Hot hot sauce "I put that shit on everything. I am a physical performer, i use my body to help create the images my words paint on to the canvas of a listeners mind. I like to implement audience engagement and i try to find linear conversations or story lines to connect the listeners to each piece of work I perform.
