The pendulum of art swings to extremes. It can be overtly public or complexly personal. Striking a balance between the two can be difficult to do and even when it’s achieved, very few do it as well as Conscious. Rising from the ashes of an artistic world bent on quick success and prepackaged formulaic fodder, this multi-faceted renaissance man is exactly what that name evokes: a revival of intellectual and artistic growth with a vigor and passion that’s unmatched.

Never boastful, Conscious moves with quiet force; building his audience, expanding his ventures and linking with like minded individuals to make sure there are alternatives for the masses. He doesn’t complain that things aren’t changing; he makes his own route, daring others to do the same. Making sure the community is growing just as he is, Conscious has dedicated not only his time, but also his talents to prison outreach performances, as a hip-hop business instructor, a computer instructor at Harlem’s Jericho Learning Center and opening with Beatboxer Entertainment for Scot Ritner for the 9/11 commission at the historically relevant Riverside Church in New York City (Riverside Church is the location where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his legendary Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence speech, on April 4, 1967)

He’s performed at venues such as The Knitting Factory, the Nuyorican Poet’s Café, the Schomberg Theatre, The Sae Institute’s Hotel Remix and the legendary CBGB’s to name a few.
