Poetry - Culture - Art - Liberty of the Human Spirit - Revolution - the Underground - Spoken Word - Expressive Fusion!
Walk in any poetry venue or ask any lover of spoken word and its poetic messengers and whisper Queen Sheba; the vibe changes, the atmosphere clings like static emotions and you'll know they have experienced royalty first hand. Thirty minutes with Queen Sheba on stage sharing her life, wisdom, pain and means of survival and life takes on a different excitement. She is an undeniable vessel of self-_expression, passion and versatility and her live performances authenticate the artistic fervor she brings to each and every microphone she blesses. Queen Sheba is committed, soulful, rebellious, ingenious, sexy, endearing, powerful and her outward beauty is birthed from within. Welcome to the dawn of an old age, reborn. The Queen has arrived.
Queen Sheba is a Spoken Word master poetess based in Norfolk, VA who has quickly rose to the height of buzz worthy voices in this resurgence of performance poetry. Her range of _expression extends from the urban pulse of hip-hop to the cerebral, timeless riffs of pure jazz. Her poetic themes delve into the brilliance of slave spirituals, commitment of revolution, awareness of societal issues, and seasoned experience of life and love. Her international presence sets her at the forefront of the poetical movement to elevate the art form of spoken word as an integral means of artistic, spiritual and cultural _expression.
Queen Sheba is the founder and CEO of Oya Xclusive a spoken word recording company in Norfolk, VA. Queen Sheba has successfully released two spoken word CDs, I Confess and The Message, respectively, and is due to release a highly anticipated third CD, The Truth, June 2003. In the underground market she has sold over 11,500 copies without major distribution. In 2002, Queen Sheba graced the stages of BET's 106th & Park and Apollo's Amateur Night. Queen Sheba has a worldwide following of poetry enthusiasts; presently hosting a very successful weekly venue and annual concerts that boast an estimated 1,000 audience members every show. She has established an admirable reputation among her peers, competing in poetry slams, performing at colleges and universities, concerts, poetry cafes and festivals across the country and overseas.
A Detroit native, now living in Norfolk, VA, Queen Sheba is one of the first internationally known performance poets from Virginia. Her following has surpassed the East Coast, spanned the United States, and provoked the emotions and intellect as far and wide as Canada, Europe and in July through August 2003 she will return to the original source of _expression through language and rhythm; Africa.
Please contact the Oya Xclusive offices if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.

This CD is beyond interpretation. Queen Sheba wields the instrument of spoken word through her poetry, and the words cut through you like an ultra-sharp Ginsu knife. She speaks with such heartfelt and raw emotion and takes you through a lyrical tour of her heart, mind, body and soul. The words make you think, cry, laugh and love. I LOVE IT!!!!

The Truth is all that matters. Never mind if it makes you uncomfortable: that just makes it something you need to hear all the more. Like Colette said (paraphrased), forget your comfort zone, open up and embrace all the things about yourself and life you'd far rather not own up to. You can run, but you sure as hell can't hide. Thanks, Queen Sheba: you've helped shake me out of my complacency.
POWERFUL, GRIPPING, AND PROVOKING!!!!!
author: TMS RECORDS/TYRONE MARQUIS SMITHI have had the pleasure of working with Sheeba in the studio, as well as performing on the same show with her.Queen Sheeba is a unique gem, because when so many women have been conditioned by society, Sheeba rather right or wrong dishes it out raw in such a fictious world.Her message is truthful, provoking, and it only offends the guilty.
RAW, Vibrant, REAL spoken word for those who love real poetry!
author: jamila j.I love this CD... i hesitated on getting it at first and now i wonder why? Afraid of the power of great words perhaps! But after seeing Queen in Richmond VA I had to get this.. and i am so glad i did.. The last track.. had me in tears.. and there are few pieces i have ever heard that do that to me.. So this must be good stuff.. and Blackberry Molasses.. Is a wonderful example of black love.. Simply .. Beautiful.. Don't get this CD if you are not prepared to hear the truth!
