Set list
My performances are curated based on the energy and purpose of each event, but a typical spoken word set may include selections from my Diamonds in the Rough series (Season 1 & Season 2: AURA), along with audience favorites and featured pieces such as:
• “Unfolded” – A reflective piece on growth and self-discovery
• “A Man’s World” – Exploring identity, responsibility, and perspective
• “Jeopardy” – Interactive and thought-provoking audience engagement piece
• “Leo Sunshine” – An uplifting, crowd-favorite performance centered on light and purpose
• “Love & Happiness” – A soulful closing piece focused on connection and gratitude
Sets can be adjusted to fit the event, ranging from short, impactful features (15–20 minutes) to more immersive experiences (30–45 minutes). I can also incorporate light audience interaction, storytelling transitions, or custom pieces depending on the occasion.
Each performance is designed to flow naturally—creating a balance of emotion, engagement, and inspiration while leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
Influences and inspiration
Diamonds in the Rough (A Spoken Word Mixtape) is a collection of poetry developed over more than 20 years—rooted in real-life experience, growth, and transformation. The idea came to life during a flight to witness the birth of my daughter—a moment that shifted everything and gave deeper meaning to the work.
Inspired by Tupac Shakur’s The Rose That Grew From Concrete, the accompanying book, How to Grow Diamonds in a Garden, reflects the resilience required to grow through adversity. What stood out most was not just the message, but the structure—raw thoughts alongside refined expression—reinforcing the importance of preserving your voice and your story.
The “garden” represents Amhurst Garden, where I grew up—an environment filled with both challenges and lessons. The “diamonds” are the growth, wisdom, and transformation that came from it. Each piece is a reflection of that journey—formed under pressure, but built to shine.
