Hello, I'm Micah Bournes.

Nice to meet y'all. I'm a Black American musician and poet from Long Beach, California. I started writing songs when I was 18, and spoken word poetry when I was 20. I now have 20 years experience as a creative writer and performer. I've published two books of poetry, released 8 albums in many genres including Hip Hop, Blues, Folk, and Spoken Word. I've also travelled the world to perform and teach workshops. I believe creative expression is an important practice for wholistic health. I put creativity alongside exercise and therapy. Learning discipline as a creative will be good for your mental and emotional well being, grow your confidence, and improve the quality of your art. I am self taught, with no formal training in poetry or songwriting. I believe in learning by doing, and I am particularly experienced in helping people work through their creative insecurities. I'm offering one on one songwriting and poetry sessions.
