A GUIDE TO HUMBLE THE POET


"I'm a former school teacher turned creative. What began as reciting spoken word poetry in coffee shops to impress girls evolved into a creative adventure that has spanned the last 10 years; crossing genres, mediums and oceans. I'm now an author, hip-hop artist, speaker, designer, filmmaker, and creative consultant. I've made a lot of mistakes along the way and share the lessons I've learned for all those looking to have a better life. There is a common thread that flows through my work, even if it's just a strand of my beard.


BEST-SELLING AUTHOR


My book Unlearn: 101 Simple Truths For A Better Life has become an international bestseller. In the book, I explore simple life lessons that remind us that we gain more from letting go. In October 2019, I released my second international bestseller, Things No One Else Can Teach Us 


MUSICIAN/DIRECTOR


I write/direct/edit many of my own music videos, and have been working towards doing the same for other artists, check out my work here.


SPOKEN WORD ARTIST


I started as a Spoken Word artist, and perform regularly, here's a spot I did for Apple's very first "Shot on iPhone" campaign in Canada.


PUBLIC SPEAKER

INFLUENCER


I've been privileged enough to work with some great bands on some awesome project, and connecting them with causes I care about. Check out this one with Cadbury, where we raised money for kids in Ghana to have bicycles to turn their long walks to school into short rides. To learn more about brand partnerships click here
