"AmeN NoiR -
International Performance
Poet/Story-teller/
Stage Choreographer/Producer?
What else can be said about this unique
artist of word play & delivery."
G.Archer. JahLive Music
AmeN NoiR has emerged as a leading
exponent of lyrical wizardry since 2000
on the performance scene.
He is a Nationally & Internationally
recognised artist, bringing a new dimension
to Poetry, and a freshness to the 'WORD' arena.
This Afrikan warrior of words, is making big
ripples along his way. Evoking emotion, contemplation,
realisation and hopefully encouraging action.
Hailing from S.London, this Performance Poet brings
the Afrikan experience from his window frame.
In Oct '03 AmeN NoiR [as part of *B.K.S] presented
& hosted the legendary David Nelson of the Last Poets,
with support from the 'First Poets' . B.K.S performed
an hour plus set to introduce the legends and set the
platform alight for these pioneers.
2005 saw appraerences from AmeN [as part of BKS]
alongside the legendary musical activists, and revolutionary
duo of Dead Prez, at the historical first ever Black History
Week in Norway. Organised by A.Y.I.N
*B.K.S (Best Kept Secret)
Consists of AmeN NoiR, OneNess, Tuggs.t.a.r & ShakaRa.
In 2005 AmeN, alongside BKS self directed, wrote &
produced a short play entitled 'Tuggs.t.a.r for President'
and 'The League of Extraordinary Wordsmiths'.
The event was eventually recorded and produced on DVD
as (1) of many BKS products. This show has since been
toured, and continues to be requested by Theatre production
companies including, The Drum, Nottingham Playhouse,
Oval Theatre and many more.
AmeN has been performing for approx 21 years, in which
time has established himself as a facilitator at a Performing
arts school. He has also created his own Dance & movement
company that facilitate in schools and colleges within the
London region.
With extensive experience of working with young people
facilitating mentoring, creative writing workshops and
cheorography, AmeN tries to write in ways that young
people can follow clearly and feel part of the moment.
By using cleaver catchy concepts, such as Amen's
renowned A-Z pieces, AmeN attempts to cover some of the
injustices of the world in his performance and delivery,
always putting the struggle and achievements of
Afrikans forefront, and raising awareness where he can.
AmeN writes on his experiences, viewpoints, aspirations,
the present, the past, and the future. Always the artist that
'goes there', he delivers with intensity and passion, hoping
to involve those that may be experiencing Spoken Word for
the first time. His all-action, all-powerful style is what brings
AmeN's words alive in his stage performances.
AmeN NoiR was one of the four artist team to represent
the Afrikans in the U.K vs. the Afrikans in the U.S,
Poetry Slam in 2003. The Afrikans in the U.K managed a win
and went on to take the show on the road, touring Birmingham.
AmeN has performed in Oslo, Toronto, Ottawa, London,
Brighton, Bristol, Birmingham, Derby, Reading & Nottingham,
and will soon include a move to the U.S . Amen has also
appeared on numerous terrestrial and cable channels and
has given interviews on BBC radio, Choice Fm, Powerjam,
Genesis, as well as receiving reviews by Nex Generartion
Magazine & The New Nation Newspaper amoungst others.
AmeN is also an accomplished host for events,
and continues to present the highly acclaimed annual
'Spoken Word @ Kwanzaa' showcase with co-host OneNess.
Music production is another string in AmeN's bow and he
has produced for other artists on the Spoken Word scene,
as well as been responsible for artistic presentation of
c.d covers and artwork layouts. AmeN has also produced
90% of the music on his c.d presentations to date and
continues to utilise his god given talents .
To date AmeN has written and produced 5 albums,
'Emotions of the Soul', 'Rhythmical Reason', 'Still...',
Snapshots of Science &'Snapshots of Science' Pt II,
which is his current set.
These 13-track c.d sets have all been self-produced,
packaged and promoted to formulate the principles
of owning, defining & creating for self. He is currently
working on his (6th) album, due for release late 2010.
This multi-faceted star is about to shine brighter and
brighter over the next few years. A must to see live...
"Welcome to new WORD order", and make way for
the Wizard of Wordz 'the amazing, articulate, artistic...
