Mox.E Women entrepreneur and musician, Sheila Fortson, performed before a sold-out crowd at City Point Loft on Friday evening, July 7th. Sheila and Spoken Word Artist, Maya, combine the sultry sounds of poetry and violin to tell stories about life, love, loss and rebirth, the "Love Evolution" of our lives. They are Sounds of Poetry--inspired by early R&B legends and current artists of this millenium, as well as great poets from every decade. Maya draws inspiration in her writings from her own life circumstances, friends, family and the world around her. Sheila pulls sounds from classical, soul, R&B and her own inspirations, finding her own "voice" in the way the words and music sing into her soul on the strings. Sounds of Poetry cultivated their silky-smooth sound after finding their own voice in poetry and violin in their hometown of Chicago. To learn more, check out their website.
