So what do you call someone who has seen it all and been thru the storms enough to walk his way thru the next one? Or what do you refer an underdog to when he accomplishes the impossible? Last, what do you call somebody you watch taking a beating from life itself and see him get right back up? You call him......a Phenom. But Amayzn will do for now. "Amayzn" is concieved from the word 'amazing', a compliment often used to describe reaction to his ability to do feats most people couldn't. Regardless of whatever the task has been, he's made it a goal to do what he does best: upstaging upstagers. Now, as a singer, writer, spoken word artist, he has begun a daunting task of leaving his mark upon the industry. Who should be more afraid, the young upstart who still has a hill to climb in order to see full success or, the industry that for so long has shunned all from the streets of Kansas City, Missouri? And the first step on this journey is the spoken word CD entitled, 'Written Sketches', an introductory album taking people through the many places photographed of this young man's environment the way he sees it....some good, some bad and some just. And everywhere he goes, there is bound to be some noise made. So be warned.....this man's words ain't for SOME people. It's for everybody!! Check out the audio and hear a few of his early works. click on the first friend in the list and hear what a true voice of the streets sounds like. The blog contains some of his previous written works as well. In the mean time, it's back to the grind. Dueces
Why this name?
While I was trying to get myself a nickname cause I was going by some wack or already used monikers, I started thinking back on the things I had gone through. and I kept hearing this word amazing popping in and out of each memory......so I wrote it down and I kept looking at it...then I realized I am a May baby; why not include that? So with one more change.....Amayzn was born. Started off a play name but when I started getting more involved with our spoken word scene, folks started calling me it verbatum and I've felt complete since.
Do you play live?
Yes, I perform live at any place, any time, anywhere.

I get adrenaline rushes on stage, whether I'm singing or spittin'. It's the greatest natural drug in my opinion!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it opened alot of doors folks didn't have before. Though there are some negative aspects to it, I'm still appreciative for it cause it allows the unknown artists like myself to be more known and recognized as existing forces in this realm.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably......well, maybe I should say HELL YEAH!!
Your influences?
let's see:

Tech N9ne, 2Pac, Eminem, Ludacris, Dru Hill, Ruben Studdard, Usher, R. Kelly, Luther Vandross.....man, don't ask me....I got alot of 'em!!
Favorite spot?
My hometown, KANSAS CITY MISSOURI!!!
Equipment used:
My Voice.......lol
Anything else...?
ok......My Way entertainment is the best thing I could've ever discovered in the last few months.....cause my sense of humor was really dragging.
