Poetry bio
When he was 6 years old, Yunus Quddus began his journey of creative expression,
writing short stories and narrative poems. His father took him to jazz poetry clubs to further expose him to poets and the world of art. Bored with conventional storytelling and books he read in grade school, he would skim through, take the sentences, and try to make them rhyme. His ability to take words and write completely different stories, showed his vast literary talents.

At the age of 19, Yunus went public with his poetry, for the first time, at Brave New World in Philadelphia.He has set a lifelong goal to be heard globally. While at Johnson & Wales he founded The Underground Poetry Club, which brought together artistic minds to share their ideas. Yunus has appeared on Brown University Radio and WDAJ A.M., The Drive with Angelo Marinoch. Overtime, he set another goal to create music that can bring all ethnic cultures and background In 2005, he opened for Philadelphia's legendary poet Ursula Rucker and HBO Def Jam Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo at Sound Session.
