“I have come across alot of Poets. Most of them being ok, some of them good but very few being Superior. Phenzwaan definitely fits into that catagory. His use of words is bar none. If you havent heard him perform go cop that CD aight!!!”
Ike Hayden, MC, Under Da PoeTree. London, UK – Phenzwaan.com
“Phenzwaan is young and extremely talented with such a bright future. A gifted writer and performer, who’s range of capabilities is astounding. Now and Forever is an amazing double CD that clearly illustrates Phenzwaan’s awesome talent, and makes poetry cool, and more accessible to the masses. Clever, philosophical, comedic, sensual, and occasionally naughty lyrics make each track a new treat! I am left in awe of the versatility of his talent. And when I play it in my iPod, I feel like everyone around me is missing out a little bit. Feel in need of a dose of inspiration? Buy it now!”
Kimberly Meghan Roberts, Teacher. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – Phenzwaan.com
“What an incredible wordsmith! Phenzwaan does indeed bring light as he intends. This is a man who has found his calling and his artform going from strength to strength. His work powerfully transcends all barriers/genres. It’s all there, the cosmic rays bestowed upon him, his days in Egypt, the influence of his mother, grandmother and great grandmother, the beauty of life and the pain he’s skillfully learned to surpass and an enduring powerful, cosmic voice resonating with love, peace and hope. Rich, multilayered and multitextured work from the Cosmic Wordsmith.”
Fatima Abdul-Kareem, Journalist. London, UK – Create 24:7 Magazine
“If poetry is a language, it is universal. And Phenzwaan masters this language perfectly. ‘Fire & Divinity’ appeals to the reader in many different ways, and because Phenzwaan is so honest and real, it’s very easy to relate and be touched by his words. One of the most beautifully written poems I’ve ever read, ‘If Poetry is a Woman’ is Phenzwaan’s declaration of love to poetry, and it sums up his work very well. He is an artist, passionate about what he does and you can’t but feel this passion when you read his poems. The collection encompasses a wide range of subjects and is a beautiful testimony of Phenzwaan’s wonderful ability to transform even the most trivial things into art. He makes you travel through his words, makes you think and makes you laugh, makes you feel the joys and the pains. His words are deep and inspirational, they’re a weapon and they’re a remedy, they are unique and universal.” ‘I write what I feel, Hardly fictitious when it’s all real’ – Phenzwaan, ‘I Write’
Marion Lombardi, Music Blogger, Podcast Host, Writer. London, UK – Carminelitta.com
“I have known Phenzwaan for many years now and have never seen him perform live! So when I heard he was performing at the Hackney Empire, I had to make sure I attended!! The tension was getting more and more as Wayne Rollins anounced Phenzwaan was coming onto the stage next, I actually felt scared for him lol, then he approached the stage in pure silence, adjusted his mic and announced himself and started speaking to the audience of the Hackney Empire, the silence of the crowd as they quietly listened to every word made me feel even more nervous for him up there but Phenzwaan is by far the best spoken word artist I have ever heard to date. His excellent words touched many people in there, as he spoke out to every person, no matter what race, job title, whatever you have achieved or not achieved in your life, the poetry was written for you! The crowd’s response was phenomenal, And I know he had achieved something great and this was just the beginning of something even greater…”
Jadine Hayles, Fashion Designer, Jah-dean Clothing. London, UK – Phenzwaan.com
“Then came the moment many of the audience had been waiting for as Phenzwaan confidently took the stage to perform his Manchester segment of his Solidified tour. It seemed that wherever Phenzwaan went, his fans followed, some of which had traveled from as far a field as Leeds to see him. The charismatic word-smith performed three very different poems and inbetween chatted to the audience. One poem effectively listed all the different types of people in the world and claimed that his poetry was for all those people equally. Another poem was about how when he first started out as a poet, he found it difficult to be taken seriously. His final poem was I don’t usually do it on the first night, a cheeky but sexy, full and frank tale about meeting a woman and one thing leading to another. Phenzwaan, who has previously been described as the ‘Marvin Gaye of the Spoken Word’ is self assured and sincere and a pleasure to watch.”
Tanya Smith, Researcher, BBC Learning. Manchester, UK – Girls On Film
“I’m hard to convince but Phenzwaan’s literary oeuvre “FIRE & DIVINITY” blew me away. The subtleness of his words is brilliant, point-blank poetry, in-your-face! It appeals to emotions, reflectiveness, lust, romance, sympathy, love, sadness…and gets you to the heart of life with its beauty and at once its severity. Each lyric has his own perfect attraction. You plunge into words and worlds. “If Poetry Is A Woman” is one of my fave, the most beautiful metaphor! HE’S A MAGICIAN IN WORDS! A great manuscript, everlasting!!! It would be wonderful to see him performing live on stage one of these days.”
