Check out June’s Breakfast Speaker (Saturday June 14th):
Dwayne Morgan began his career as a spoken word artist in 1993. He is the founder and guiding force of Up From The Roots Entertainment, which was established in 1994 to promote the positive artistic contributions of African Canadian and urban influenced artists. His work as a poet and spoken word artist has won him numerous awards including winning the Canadian Urban Music Award twice for Best Spoken Word Recording. He has four published books and chapbooks.
But Dwayne’s creativity and talent for writing express themselves in many ways: he is a motivational speaker, who hosts Diasporic Music, a monthly spoken word show on CKLN 88.1 FM, while also serving as an advice columnist in the Sun Media daily paper 24 Hours. He collaborated with Driftwood Studios to film, “Three Knocks”, a ten minute film based on his domestic violence poem of the same name, which was premiered in Toronto’s Reel World Film Festival. Dwayne’s photography made its public debut at Scotiabank’s Nuit Blanche, 2007.
Dwayne’s drive, work ethic, and the outstanding quality of his work have driven his success, and made him one of the most respected and influential members of Toronto’s urban music community, as well as the North American, and Global, spoken word scene.
