About Two Radio Shows Coming Soon check me out on FB
A.B.Y.S.S. - The metamorphosis of the artist we call
Abyss began while working his way up the tour scene
in comedy clubs. The poetry arena wasn’t really de-
fined when he debuted to listeners in Jacksonville, FL.
Abyss was determined to put stretch marks on the genre
we now know as spoken word. He tirelessly works on
his craft, a self taught musician and scribe. Abyss also
served 7 yrs on the board of the Atlanta Community Food
Bank. He spends countless hours of community service
inside jails, schools, churches, and community centers.
Abyss received a Peabody Award for his appear-
ance on HBO Def Poetry the “original series” season
1, and returned to star on seasons 5 of HBO Def Po-
etry. He was the first poet to appear on BET’s 106th
& Park. Currently Abyss has been casted for a recur-
ring role on the “Somebodies”; the first scripted sitcom
in BET’s history. He’s has made other appearances
on BET J’s Lyric Café, the 12th Annual Gospel Choice
Awards, and numerous NACA/APCA college events. Abyss also co-wrote a song with Rhon-
da Smith (Prince’s Bass Player). He’s a published author, musician, activist, motiva-
tional speaker, songwriter, actor, mentor, etc. His list of accomplishments goes on and on.
Abyss is an Artist truly in tune with perseverance and hard work. He has the nickname
“The Native” because he fits-in wherever he travels. His mission is to educate and entertain
simultaneously. Medicine sprinkled with sugar is a good way to describe the message that
has been authored by his ray of light. His name is synonymous with poetry in the Atlanta
area. With a resume like his, you’d imagine Abyss would be conceited and very unapproach-
able - on the contrary. You would be hard pressed to find a man more humble. Abyss real-
izes that his gift is from God, and it’s to be used for His purposes only. Abyss has been in the
company of the likes of Alicia Keys and Kanye West, yet he’ll break bread with the homeless
at the Atlanta Mission. Abyss wears different hats depending on his assignment for the day.
Abyss is a Poet, a Visionary, a Leader, a Father, a Teacher, and Inspiration - A Bright Young
Soul Searching. Abyss is searching for other bright young souls to complete “Team Abyss” (a
coalition of artists working to maintain the virility of creativity). Abyss has a prophetic mouth
for such times as the present, and breathes spirit into dead art forms. If you ever have the op-
portunity to hear him speak, go, your life will never be the same. Coming to a town near you
soon. A.B.Y.S.S. - A Bright Young Soul Seeking the Acid Gospel – “sometimes the truth burns”.

If These Block Could Talk
BET Lyric Cafe
(Pri
We spent the better part of a Saturday afternoon talking with one of ATL's biggest hip hop spoken word artists. The interview not only has great content, but it'll also be one of your only chances to watch an interview with someone while his hair is getting braided!
Before our interview with Abyss got started, we were fortunate enough to capture a couple of exclusive performances! This stuff was so good that we just had to put it in the spotlight!
What's up, I'm doing a mixtape and was wondering if you are willing to be a part of the project? Let me know-if you know someone who might be interested please direct them to my page! Thanks :D
Never before has this been done, and hopefully it will be
successfully repeated after this all over the world, again and again….
Our aim is to bring together poets from all over, who
produce all genres of poetry for a night of mingling, poetry, shameless self
promotion…. Each poet will have the opportunity
to read their work on stage, sell their work to those who would like to buy,
and mingle with the best poets of our generation.
It will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 9 PM
And the owner of STUDIO PARK in Atlanta has been gracious
enough to open his doors to us without charging us ANYTHING!!!
You seriously CAN’T miss this~you HAVE to be there! It is the chance of the lifetime, and the
bigger we make it, the more attention we poets will get.
Poetry is NOT dead~let’s show the world that it is living
and breathing~
***BTW~we are looking for a talented DJ to spin between
reads~so if you have what it takes or know someone who does, please email me.
****ALL are welcome!
Whether you are a poet, or love poetry, we hope you will all come, tell
your friends about it, and your friends’ friends-blog it, bulletin it, email
it, scream about it from the rooftops~Whatever it takes!!!
