It was equal part inspiration and motivation during our latest podcast with Jersey Shore's spoken word poet and hip-hop artist, Chris Rockwell. Living by the motto "You have to be amazing!" is what drives this young artist to not only relentlessly perfect his crafts, but then take them one step further to make a difference in the world. He believes wholeheartedly that “attraction, not promotion” is what connects you to the people you need to know and then shows you the ways to be more impactful.
Whether it’s highlighting the poetry of writers in his publication Soup Can Magazine, organizing cultural events, writing & recording music, or going on tour with the Chris Rock Collective, it’s apparent that the words “take it easy” aren’t part of Chris’ vocabulary. In addition to touching upon all of that, Chris spoke at length about his upcoming event CANDEMONIUM for which he won a grant through the North To Shore Festival. It takes place on June 23 at 1pm at Sister Jean’s Kitchen in Atlantic City and will showcase southern New Jersey’s most talented spoken word artists and hip-hop stars! This event is also a chance to give back to the community. CANDEMONIUM will serve as a community food drive, collecting canned goods and food donations for Sister Jean’s Kitchen in Atlantic City. So, bring your generous spirit and make a difference!
Tune in to hear more about the talented Mr. Chris Rockwell and make sure to check out his many accomplishments!
