George The Poet

George The Poet is a young performer from north-west London who offers politically conscious and often humorous social commentary through poetry. This draws from his life in London's inner-city as well as the politics, psychology and sociology course he studies at Cambridge University. George champions a new brand of poetry which is set for commercial and critical success, blending poetry and rap to hypnotic effect.
