Fhena
Few artists have the
ability to merge spirituality, musicality, cultural identity and a fire
performance factor into the genre of spoken word. As a poet, singer, and
former musician, Fhena does just that. Her writing has the ability to
stir emotions, provoke thought, and bring spiritual enlightenment in her
unique blend of spoken word, instrumentation and vocals. Born in Rhode
Island, Fhena began her path to writeousness with her first poem in the
fourth grade. She became serious about her writing in high school, using
it as an outlet to release frustrations. She was encouraged to publish
her writings, but knew that it was not time. At that point, she was only
bearing witness to social, economic and cultural injustices in her
works. She did not want her voice to be heard until she had solutions to
offer. This desire set her on a path of discovery...encountering,
confronting and conquering personal and collective challenges. The gems
mined on this journey are what Fhena shares with her audience. And those
who have had an opportunity to witness a Fhena show know her for her
rapid-fire delivery, honesty and energetic performances. Fhena believes
that being an artist is a special calling, a mandate of sorts. "My
mission is to utilize spoken word to inspire thought, growth and
discovery of the highest self. I want my words to penetrate the heart
and mind bringing healing, clarity and understanding of what has been so
we can be prepared for what is to come."
