Supercoolerfragilistic: October 2009

I've always believed that the most beautiful instrument on God's earth is the human voice. Some have the ability to wield it to an extraordinary level, being able to belt out melodies and hit pitches only thought destined for birds...In all its tonal quality the human voice is artistic greatness. Being able to dedicate one night to all those that find art in their vocal chords, is the aim of the One Mic Series. Dedicated only to Vocal Performance Art, including all that fall under that umbrella; poetry, song, rap, spoken word; and Taking the most talented Bermudian singers, rappers and poets and having them share the stage with the likes of Aja Monet, Rafael Casal, Jason Reynolds, Shanelle Gabriel and Mayda del Valle. That was the aim of the very first One Mic Showcase, which took place October 10th, 2009 at the Berkeley Auditorium in Bermuda. This was the very first event for the Promotion Company that I own with my two best friends. We're called 'Allied Sounds', our company's aim: To Promote, Produce and Support the fine and Performing Arts, and I surely do believe we've done so with this year's One Mic Show..Words are not enough to describe the immense wonder that was that night. Being able to watch Professional Poets, whom I am a fan of, perform heart stopping, metaphor laced, passion driven poems was amazing to say the least. The Night was surreal, it was a night that could make art proud.
