About me: To understand the multiple levels of Damnyo da "Genius Chyld"'s poetry, one needn't look any further than her name. What at first blush appears both conceited and colloquial is, in fact, a reference to powerful feudal Japanese rulers ('daimyo') and a nod to famous poet Oscar Wilde who said "I have nothing to declare except my genius". Like her moniker, Damnyo as well as her poetry is historical, multi-faceted and cultural.
Damnyo is an LA native who discovered the empowering effect of words during her teenage years and diligently worked to develop herself as an artist. While many of her peers enjoyed their first years in nightclubs, Damnyo spent her nights at local poetry venues, quickly becoming a well known part of the Los Angeles poetry scene. As the youngest member of the poetry scene, she was mentored by such noteworthy poets as Taalam Acey and since 2005 she has been a Serafemme artist, student, and advocate
of poetry and her community. She has hosted several Los Angeles open mic venues and has produced numerous shows including Elements. She was also the slammaster/coach for the LA Slam Team in 2006 and wrote a book of poetry entitled "Trap'd".
Damnyo has performed at USC, UCLA, Serafemme, Outfest, Sistahfest, Fusion, San Luis Osibpo, CSU-Los Angeles, San Diego State, The Malcolm X Festival, African Marketplace, Berkeley Slam, KPFK, Homo Hop, LA Pride, and Long Beach Pride.
"Damnyo delivers her writings with a rhythm that's mixed with irony, humor and a trace of anger." -c.b. flynn, moorpark college, student voice
"Damnyo writes in subtle strokes that demonstrate tranquility while seemlessly communicating an intense personal longing" Taalam Acey, prolific poet

I know the Freedom Through Music project will break the glass for Poetry
and Spoken Word Artists everywhere. It will bring Poetry to the living
rooms of people all across the country and over seas. This album will
change how people view Poetry and Spoken Word and will be set as the
Genre of a new generation. Volume #1 set the foundation of our
organization. Volume # 2 opened doors and took Poetry Over Music
Internationally. Volume #3 broke records and caught the attention of
people everywhere stirring a Poetry uprising.
The way I came
up with Freedom Through Music, is I envisioned the essence of Spoken
Word and Poetry and what it can be. As a fan of Poetry, I understand
the power poets have with their words. Poets have the power to talk to
a young girl who is on drugs and make a difference in that girls life.
Poetry and Music has the power to change all of our lives. It will open
your mind and heart to something new. My definition of a poet is
someone who speaks the truth. A Poet writes from there soul, free from
hooks and gimmicks. A Poet is Free. That's how I came up with, Freedom
through Music...
Poetry Over Music Volume # 3 had close to
100,000 downloads in one year. It ranked as the Number One free online
downl
Change is upon us ALL and we are all searching for more LOVE and the true
meaning to LIFE. If you are searching for answers and would like to meet like
