Empress Malaaika Verbal Therapy
Empress Malaa'ika presents 2008 Verbal Therapy Album
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started writing poetry at the tender age of 12 and started speaking publicly in 2000 as a result of many personal tragedies. Listen to my material, it tells parts of my life history that many can relate, black, white, rock, hip hop, country, or metal. I am a very open minded and eccentric pro-creator!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes I perform live at colleges/universities, churches, conventions, rec centers, jails, state, city, and or local forums, spoken word venues, various cafes, and clubs, etc. I enjoy when people come to me and say that something I did or said inspired them. After all "I ASPIRE TO INSPIRE BEFORE I EXPIRE!"
Your musical influences
No, I naturally have a big mouth and am passionate about my craft, so all I need is one's undivided ATTENTION!
What equipment do you use?
My mouth, my heart, my words, insight-Simply put Life Experience!
Anything else?
LISTEN, HEAR, HEED, AND I CAN ONLY HOPE you OVERSTAND! Keep an Open Mind! ENJOY!
