Overview

Whether your event venue is in Metaverse's Horizon, at your local restaurant, or at your college campus - your event's theme and expectations will become my main focus and attention. As a collaborative creator, I always curate with client considerations in mind - whether offline or online. Some of these included non-profits, small businesses, and academic affiliates like Medgar Evers College of Brooklyn. Service and delivery are important to me on and off the stage. I'm currently the on-site host of the weekly Dave and Busters Trivia Show and would love the opportunity to make your next event a memorable one for you and your guests.

About

With a cadence and a poetic style that is wildly his own, Na'Quel fuses his passion for words and life to move his audiences with a different vibration. His expanding work is a spectrum of his personal observations and thoughts on subjects like racism, relationships, injustice, politics, parenting, technology, nature, and intimacy. Meeting Amiri Baraka at his New Jersey home, and sharing a poem with him and the others present, are two highlights of his life. He believes poetry is "my mind running wild and loving the chase."

Set list

Some fan favorites include Sacrifice and Dream, a poem about the political temperature of the day from a brutally honest view, skillfully anchored by smooth and rhythmic delivery style.

Or catch Lovers Rock which is a mildly erotic poem in prose that leaves the audience wanting more, all the time! The mix of Reggae and Dancehall notes is a heartfelt and clever nod to growing up in a 1980's Jamaica.

Whatever piece you catch, you are sure to enjoy this dynamic artist.
