Leroy Stringer Jr., A.K.A. “The Peoples Poet”, is a Miami Born Native whose poetry seems to reach not just some, but all of the people who are privy to hear his work. During the year of 1997, he began writing seriously after seeing the effect that Poetry had on a troubled youth in a Juvenile Justice program for which he was working at the time. He has been writing and performing ever since. But that, for him, was not enough.
Along with the accompaniment of original musical sound tracks and creative skits, Leroy captivates his listeners, with what he and his associates deem “NEO POETRY”.
While juggling the responsibilities of being a dedicated husband and father, Leroy performs & captivates his poetic audience in venues throughout South Florida, the U.S. and abroad.
He released his Debut C.D. entitled “Lyrical Suicide” in 2004. He later performed on the CD entitled “Fusion-A blend of poetry and music” which featured 18 poets such as Ainsley Burrows, Malcom-Jamal Warner, 13 of Nazareth, Charneice Fox, & others.
The long awaited and latest project entitled “Poetically in Love” was released in December of 2011.
