He is the first Vietnamese American man to have appeared on HBO's Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry, and the National Poetry Slam Individual Finalists Stage, where he placed 6th overall out of over 250 national slam poets.
He has also contributed his spoken word poetry to Russell Simmons' Def Poetry Jam and the motion picture ATL, as well as appearing on albums by Truth Hurts, Eightball & MJG and CunninLynguists.
My hat is off to Russell Simmons, who has found a way to get poems on HBO in a way that feeds his own business.
