Micah Bournes, Spoken Word ArtistFriday, September 7; 7:30 p.m.; Rudd Auditorium; Free admissionMicah Bournes grew up in Long Beach, CA, and was immersed in hip-hop for as long as he can remember. This influence is clearly seen through his personal journey of artistic expression. Micah began rapping while attending Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. From there he began blending and bending genres as he incorporated spoken word poetry, rhythm & blues, and funk into his music. Micah is a two-time 1st place winner of the intercollegiate National Religious Broadcasters Competition, and has done quite well for himself in countless poetry slams across the country. Knowing that he is a broken man, made righteous only by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Lord, on the cross, Micah strives to live his life according to Proverbs 24:1, "A righteous man falls seven times, and rises again." This message, at the heart of his work, drives him to always keep creating. Read more about Micah Bournes. |
