Tshombe the Poet

Join your hosts April Sims and Christopher L. Fields aka Poetry Man as they welcome Tshombe the Poet to the show. A little bit about Tshombe the Poet Born in New Orleans, La. His parents decided to raised him and his three siblings abroad in Israel where he received most of his education. After returning to the US in the early 90's, he enlisted in the US Navy where I currently serve. He is married to his wonderful wife Dedre (Dee-Drah) of 9 years, but whose counting, huh? Tshombe began writing life as he lived, saw and felt it onto page where he later started a blog called Truth Theory which which became his moniker. After a short while he developed a following in his poetry/spoken poems. He achieved the qualifications of becoming a spoken word artist after performing his poems "The Revolution", "Imagine That", and "Changing Faces" on stages from Chicago's Negro League Lounge to The Hawaiian Hut in Hawaii (the country's largest poetry venue). After a series of creative initiatives and created venues, some successes and failures, he founded what is now known as The STORM in June of '07 where he is the host of the famous Freedom Verse Cafe. Tshombe self produced, published and marketed his first album titled "IAMNOTAPO3T" as a "home grown" project that led to many other success in the way of production opportunities and brand marketing. He has just released his sophomore album entitled "Verbal Jazz Vol. 1" which has received countless praises for its quality and value. He has definitely gained the respect of being a poet amongst his peers and is known for his "reachback" attitude to help other aspiring writers.
