- Profound and sassy, with a nice touch of soul is what you get when you listen to the supernova they call Scorpio Blues. In 2003, she assisted the Oakland Slam team in placing 4th in the Nation and was individually ranked 16th in the Nation. She’s performed at the world famous Apollo Theater in Harlem, was a 2004 Nuyorican Grand Slam Semi-Finalist, the 2004 Harlem’s Hottest Poet champion, and was invited to perform on BET’s Lyric Café in the Bahamas in 2004. In 2005 she released Blue Blushin,’ her first professionally recorded and highly successful spoken word project and was invited to record for Russell Simmons Def Poetry Jam. In 2006 she became the Ill List (Pronounced Illest) Poets Champion, becoming the first female, first African-American, and first poet on deck (receiving the 1 slot) to ever win their competition. Now, 2009 marks the release of her highly anticipated album, Scorpio Rising.
