Bio / Background
Latest spoken word signing to the Black Air Press Music label, Donielle Monique, brings a sensational and dramatic flair to the discerning underground label. With work containing a wide breadth of topics and voices, this debut album not only showcases her incredibly wiry storytelling style, but a strong voice and sense of place.
Donielle Monique was a member of the 2006 National Poetry Slam team from Columbus, Ohio's top open mic, the Writers' Block, coming out of the stiff competition the 2006 Grand Slam champion with a first place showing. Trained by nationally-recognized poet Scott Woods, her work puts her firmly in the "write-as-good-as-you-speak" tradition.
Her debut album - "Some Days I Am" - features music by BAPMusic founder Scott Woods, who personally wanted to work on this album instead of farming it out to one of his numerous artists.
↓ more ↓"We wanted the same things from this record: great poetry and great music, and I really know her work in and out, so I was the obvious choice out of the roster." Other BAPMusic artists make appearances as musicians on the record under Woods' production: Ambient Long, Gumbo DaVinci, and executive producer/underground sensation breath.
A great record from a great new poet with an old soul. If you like your poetry smart with heart, Donielle Monique is your new favorite poet.
