Wakefield Brewster,
aka: da lyrical pitbull
Poet, Spoken Word Artist,
Inspirational Speaker
i heard the name Wakefield from my brother and sister who were graced by his talent in the high school i formerly attended. chestermere high school. unfortunately for me i did not make it to the full term of my education. i had left school in my final year and missed the opportunity of receiving a high school diploma. but that didn’t stop me. after finding inspiration i decided to host an event sponsored by my company, hybrid productions, that allowed young people to gather and offer their gifts to like minded people. i ran the event out of my living room for several months until it grew to large for the space i had to offer. i was driven to search for alternative venues. the popularity of my event grew and i had to take things to the next level. once i had decided on a time and location i approached this wakefield character with an idea of a simplified version of a poetry slam. a cut-throat event that gave artists the opportunity to compete locally for cash prizes. he loved the idea and decided to graciously donate his time to the youth involved and helped to give them fair grounds to play on. wakefield offered his expertise to judge and headline the october 2009 art of language poetry slam. his presence alone offered life to the event and sparked interest that could not have been forged. his skillful poetic delivery and impartial judgement of the contestants made the event a complete success. without him the event just wouldn’t have been the same. now this wakefield 'character' has become an 'icon' to the members of 'soldiers for poetic justice' and an inspiration to all those wallflower artists who never would have thought there was a place for them to share their masterpieces. on behalf of hybrid productions and soldiers for poetic justice i offer my thanks for his outstanding performance and selfless donation of time and energy to our event.
