About this title

About the Author

Born in the inner city of Kingston, Jamaica. Antoni moved along with his father to Toronto, Ontario Canada in 2000. After the death of his step mother in 2004, Antoni began using writing as a way to express his inner most thoughts. By the summer of 2006 Antoni had learned how to master his abilities and began to write poems not only based on his life but the life of others around him. Antoni's writing is heavily inspired by music such as reggae (Bob Marley), R&B (Boyz II Men, Babyface, All 4 One, Michael Jackson), Hip Hop (Tupac) and current world/community/personal issues.
