“Myself and a friend of mine were trying to figure out ways to do poetry and were trying to find a name to promote our poetry,” Kulture says. “People started seeing me and calling me Verb and that’s how I got branded as an artist.”

“Being able to bring that with dance, poetry, there’s rhythm,” Kulture says. “I wanted the b-boys, the breakdancers, drummers and everybody in the conversation happening. Part of the reason I do socially interactive events is that I believe that everybody should be part of the moment and create that moment together.”
