Asia "The Waiting Hour"

Asia’s gripping words have never been less than an honest and genuine testimonial to his life.  His uncanny ability to combine humor and inspiration while provoking thought and self-reflection has won audiences all over.  Ranging from crowds as intimate as 40 to crowds as energetic as 1000, he delivers all of himself each time, making sure never to skim on what many have testified as one of the most jaw-dropping shows they’ve been fortunate enough to witness.. But it wasn’t always this way... In the early months of 2006, Asia faced a battle with cancer.  In the post-cancer years, Asia has been featured on Russell Simmons’ HBO Def Poetry, was named 2006 Performer of the Year by the Association of the Promotion of Campus Activities, took 1st Place at the 2008 Southern Fried Poetry Slam Championships with his team MinoriTEAM and many more.  Asia has had the privilege to perform with great musical artists such as Mos Def, Jill Scott & DMX.  You can find him currently hostsing at Mello Mondays.
