November 21, 2022The Dopest poet and host out there!
Salam is so talented in many ways than one and really knows how to connect and engage with a crowd rather that’s with poetry or him just hosting an event. He brings the vibes and energy to any event or room he walks in. A poetry show isn’t a poetry show if Salam isn’t there.

About
Salam The Poet is a Spoken Word artist from the southeast side of Chicago. Writing for over 10 years and performing just shy of that, Salam uses his craft to spread dope energy through creativity, affirmation, and interaction. Salam’s talent has taken him to stages as big as Bantu Fest, 24/7 Hip Hop’s ‘Check Da Mic’, Columbia College Chicago’s ‘Manifest’, and The Broward Center for Performing Arts, to spaces as small as High School classrooms, family gatherings, and various community events. Since then, his endeavors have lead him to becoming the host of his own open mic called ‘Spit Yo Peace’ as well as 1/6 of the artistic conglomerate ‘The Goat Pen Society’ where he continues to use art, affirmation, energy, and interaction to reach people while simultaneously creating a community safe space.
