Spoken Word

Unrivaled in her ability to transmute emotions into words and be the voice from which Mother Nature speaks, poet/spoken word artist Egypt English’s poetry is confidence and power. Her 2019 debut EP, “Opening Ceremony Vol. 1: The Birth of Egypt English” and her book “My Mother Said Write: Shadow Work” both narrate her battles from a place filled with depression, anxiety and self-doubt to a place of strength and sovereignty.

Her style merges theatrical performance, poetry reciting, and Hip Hop, with an array of neo-soul, gospel, and R & B influences. Egypt’s poetic spells address themes ranging from self-empowerment to natural cosmological order while being sprinkled with religious, spiritual, and socio-political allusions.

Egypt English has worked on projects with a wide range of artists, labels, and producers, including Grammy-nominated producer Benny “Cha Cha” Rubin. Her catalog includes artists like Nune aka Mr Propane, Tim Wayne, Tommy Lehman,D’Jon, Burna, and King Frank May.
