A Tribute to Black Art: A Black History Month Charity Concert

Meet the Performers

Adrian Consonery Jr. Spoken Word Artist

"I am a 2X published poet from Marietta, GA and a former student of Grambling State University. I live by the words "A glimpse into the soul is a doorway to understanding." Through this I believe that with each act of artistic expression, it brings the world more clarity to understanding the perspectives of one another.

Alex Frye Rapper

"I'm not your typical rapper. Born and raised in Springfield, MA, my upbringing was a blend of concrete jungle realities and vivid, imaginative words of anime and video games. Behind the beats and slick wordplay lies a rapper unafraid to delve into his deepest thoughts and emotions, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery."

Blake Spoken Word Artist

"I started writing in 7th grade and have used it as an outlet to speak about love, racial, and spiritual topics. I'm excited to allow you guys to step into my world through spoken word."

Chase Macintosh Singer

"I have been worshipping God through his musical gifts since I was a boy. It is truly a privilege to serve as Worship Minister at North River Church of Christ. I'm also honored to participate in this Black History Month Charity Event, as I've been highly influenced and inspired by artists including Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, and Earth, Wind, and Fire."

Cynethia and Lindsey Emcee/Singer and Singer   

"Cynethia and Lindsey are childhood friends who grew up in Warner Robbins, GA. Having been estranged for over six years it's such a beauty to reconnect and share the gifts God has given them at an event of this caliber. They are two very silly Twenty-GrEIGHT year old Black Queens who love God and worship. They once thought they would start a girl group back in grade school. And on Feb 24th that childhood dream gets to come true!"

Destiny Event Organizer / Spoken Word Artist

“I’ve been putting on events like this for 8 years now. I was inspired by a show I saw at the Apache Cafe in Atlanta, and I brought it back to my home at the time, Boston. Now I'm back in Atlanta and am surrounded by some of the most creative and talented people and it's been the biggest joy to give them a platform while simultaneously growing community.”

Dylan Chisolm Animation Dancer

"I've been dancing for over 12 years now, ever since a mentor of mine whom I met at my parent's church as a teen, first taught me how. I've come to believe strongly that among other things, God created me to move, so whenever I dance, I thank HIm with my body and soul for the gift of movement and feeling of freedom it fills me with!"

Heaven Beatbox Crossover Beatboxer

"I grew up in Alpharetta, GA and began beatboxing, vocally replicating, creating and mimicking sounds at the age of 14. In 2014, I became the American Vice- Beatbox Champion and has since gone on to represent the United States on two occasions at the World Beatbox Championships. I've also been cast in roles on Broadway and TV, including shows like Arrested Development and Motown Magic"

Jade Barber Spoken Word Artist

"I fell in love with poetry from the first time I learned about it in elementary school. There's always been something intriguing about weaving a story using imagery and word play, and the piece I'll be sharing is a great example of that. With a 2024 update, this poem pulls back the curtain to reveal how many see themselves."

JK Savvy Emcee/Rapper

"Music is a large part of who I am and a gift God gave me to help spread the gospel."

Kianee Lawrence Singer 

"My love for performing began when I was young spending the afternoon with my grandma listening to "Old Grooves" in the kitchen and singing and dancing for her! As I've grown in the faith, songwriting has become a space to pour out my heart to the Lord for him to know me and to know him. I believe that as a woman of color my experiences are valuable to others who may have or are currently walking through similar journeys"

Kueen Knadii Rapper

"I am a Christian rap artist and songwriter from Philly/Delaware. I'm known for creatively freestyling to other artists' songs, writing poetry, and producing music. When I got baptized, I found my identity in Christ which led to my true purpose in making music for God. I am passionate about making music that leads people to God and also being a light in the music industry."

Mike B Spoken Word Artist

"I'm a spoken word artist, educator, and mentor. I was born and raised on the east side of Atlanta, GA. My unique poetic style is inviting, inspirational and enlightening as I hope to connect with the audience and provide inspiration"

Milani Dancer

“Dancing speaks to so many people of many different languages and cultures. Using body movements to express feelings is an art I have always enjoyed and can't wait to share that with everyone.”

Sparxx Dancer

“I have always loved many forms of dance! Being raised in Atlanta with an Afro-Centric upbringing, my dance style is a mixture of all the "hip" dance trends with some African flavor. With each performance I hope to entertain and inspire people of all ages and ethnicities to show just how amazing Black Art is!"
