Brandishing an instantly recognizable voice and style as well as an acute ear in the studio, thePOET writes, sings, raps, produces and engineers songs with emotional, intellectual and spiritual content that leave an enduring impression on the listener. The theme of Love is at the center of thePOET's upcoming concept album theshow:ANNIE. The album plays out the passionate beginnings and bitter end of the romance between the lead characters Annie and Damien. While the characters and story are fictional, thePOET's detail-rich lyrics describe the emotional exhilaration and turmoil of intimate relationships so vividly that anyone can relate to the pain and joy of Annie and Damien. Born Avelino Pitts Jr., thePOET was raised in Las Vegas, Nevada by his Filipino/Black father and Japanese/Creole mother. While growing up, thePOET watched his multi-talented father (adept at saxophone, bass guitar, piano and flute) perform, and he was inspired to follow in his footsteps. "I would watch him play--both original pieces and cover songs--and I was amazed to see how he could move people through music." thePOET took his first stride down his own musical path when he began playing the drums in 6th grade. As a student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, thePOET studied film making as another way to express his ideas. While still taking film classes, he began writing poetry to further stretch his artistic boundaries. thePOET performed weekly at various Las Vegas poetry nights from 2006 to 2007. During this time, he assisted his cousin Russell, who performs hip-hop music under the name Sun E. Boi, with the sound engineering for a self-produced mixtape. It was during these engineering sessions that thePOET realized that, "if I combine my writing, which has the power to manipulate emotions, with music, which is what inspires me the most, that the outcome would be phenomenal." thePOET made his rapping debut on the song "Traveling Fam'" which is featured on the mixtape he engineered for Sun E. Boi. Since then, thePOET has performed solo and with Sun E. Boi at various events at the University of California, Irvine, in Las Vegas and in northern California for the art & music appreciation benefit "High Five". In 2008, he recorded and released a collaboration album with Sun E. Boi entitled Music Inspired By Life. Currently, thePOET is fine-tuning his debut solo album theshow:ANNIE and is in the process of recording a new mixtape with Sun E. Boi (The Building Phase), which will be a lead-in to the duo's second album together named Neo-Nephilim Theory.
