Review Text
Originating from Houston's Southside, Se7en's prominent and prolific voice has established this gifted entertainer as Houston's Premier Spoken Word Artist. Se7en - Houston's poetic diamond in the rough - is a graduate of Prairie View A&M University with undergraduate dual degrees in Psychology and Social Work and a Master's degree in Counseling. Se7en's phenomenal spoken word talent has taken the world of poetry by storm; "I didn't choose Poetry," he explains, "Poetry chose me." His versatility, humility and fierce stage presence allow him to deliver inspirational pieces like "Love" and "The Jesus Piece" as well as raw, edgy, uncut pieces like "I'll Do Me" and "Poetry is In" with a dynamic, undeniable flow. Se7en's groundbreaking debut spoken word album entitled "Make Me Laugh, Make Me Cry"(2005) touches on aspects of life ranging from love at first sight to "Fifty-year anniversary love like Papa loves Grandmamma." The release of "Make Me Laugh, Make Me Cry" solidified Se7en's standing as a powerhouse in the spoken word arena. His latest project, "Power in the Word" masterfully illustrates words of redemption, affirmation and inspiration and has been hailed as one of the year's best spoken word albums and the crowning jewel in his diverse catalogue. Labeled as a "Fire Poet" in the poetry community, each time Se7en steps onto the stage, he captivates, illuminates, and ignites the mic into a blaze!
