While moving to New Jersey at a young age and living there until he was a young man, he has returned back to Brooklyn as an adult. With the fortune of his father being a calypsonian and folk musician, he literally grew up around storytelling and performing.
It wasn’t until he graduated from NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) in 2008 with a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering that he himself began to seriously write poetry. Passionate about his culture and heritage from the time of his conception, Negus displays these and many more emotions in every one of his poems. Exuberant with these emotions, he is very ardent in writing poems about the cultivation and edification of his people. Utilizing a plethora of ways and topics for people to relate and connect with his messages.
As a poet, his goal is to express himself in a way that enlightens, heals, uplifts, guides and augments the human spirit. Negus is more than just a writer; he is also an author, spoken word artist, father, electrical engineer and teaching artist.
