Where Langston Hughes meets Mos Def," he walks like a poet and talks like an MC. Poet/writer. Hip-Hop Artist. Host. Author. Actor. Educator. Professional.
He closes his eyes and the stage becomes GOD's ear; every poem a secret, every rhyme a confession.
From national college tours to opening for Floetry, Jill Scott, Raheem Devaughn, Doug E Fresh, Wale and many more this Brooklyn bred lyricist has moved crowds to action to tears, to love, to laughter and to inspiration.
A well-respected writer, not just a poet, and a captivating performer, Kom has the ability to take any audience anywhere he wants them to go and suspend their interest within the movies he films with words.
His accolades include consecutive season performances on BET Lyric Café, works aired on VH1 Soul and MTVU as well as reviews in The Source magazine (May 2009, P. 88). Above all that however, his fans love him, his peers respect him and his pen trusts him. Kom is an artist among artists and will always push the envelope and the margins forward.
“Komplex’s Beautiful Things shows that EVERY woman can be loved. ....it’s like getting a lecture from a professor you trust. I learn something new from it every time I listen.”
Eden Hansom - Who The Hell is Eden Hansom
““Beautiful Things” is a nice and smooth blend of neo-soul, hip-hop and poetry. The concepts are very rich and come from a real place and fans will be able to recognize that and see themselves in many of these poems.”
Autumn - Brown sugar daily
“Komplex can’t be slept on at all.”
Zea - Bluvisions
“KOM belongs on a tour with Tank or Bilal. He belongs on a stage with Black Star. [Beautiful Things] is a banger and most definitely, masculinely …beautiful.”
Ruthnie Angrand - JeanRae Sunshine
“Beautiful Things is not just an optimistic, rose-colored glasses viewpoint of the world we live in, but rather a hopeful and dynamic perspective of what exists… and of what could. Lovers of poetry and virgins to the art form alike will find the project to be a fresh-feeling collection of sanguinity and the perfect companion for summertime and hammocks.”
