A relative unkown, Lucifury shook up the Slam Poetry world by taking 5th in the International World Poetry Slam, 2009.  His success however, had been a long time in the making.  Lucifury is a founding member of Denver Slam Nuba.  Their first year out, they saw finals stage at the National Poetry Slam in 2007, and have been a fearsome force in Slam ever since.  They have gone on to win countless regional titles since their inception in 2007.  His first year in competition, he won the National Erotica Poetry Slam in Austin, Texas.

A native of Denver, Colorado, his introduction to spoken-word occurred at the N.A.A.C.P. ACT-SO Competitions.  He spent his teenage years as a community activist with the Denver N.A.A.C.P. Youth Council, and got his introduction to public speaking in various rallies and protests. His knack for public speaking has grown into a full time passion.  He can still be found in the community, teaching poetry workshops at elementary schools, high schools, universities and correctional facilities all across this nation.

Lucifury is an accomplished stage and film actor, and received his BA in performing arts from Florida A&M University in 2003.  He has been in several main-stage productions at Denver's prestigious Shadow Theatre Company, Cleo Parker Robinson's stage, and in the traveling company of the St. Louis Black Repertory Theatre.  This stage training and theatrical foundation is apparent in the power of his live performance.  His passion for the artform makes his live performance uniquely impactful among spoken-word artists.  He has shared the stage and opened for various groups, such as Dead Prez, The Flobots, Bahamadia, Saul Williams, Taylor Mali, and Universes to name a few.
