Beat, Rhymes & Lights is an entertainment showcase based on the art of the performance poetry of one of Canada’s nationally recognized Spoken Word Artists and Beat-boxer, Eddy 'DA ORIGINAL ONE'. You're invited to join Eddy for an energizing evening of entertainment featuring his collection of new and old poems and stories in his first solo performance showcase.

Eddy has been one of the principal players on the Ottawa and Toronto poetry scene since 1991, performing and producing a variety of shows and events. Eddy’s remarkable talent as a Spoken Word artist is exceptionally entertaining, but his unique talent as a beat-boxer along with his charismatic presence on stage is definitely something not to be missed! Born in Canada and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, he proudly represents his dual heritage and has shared the stage with many award-winning artists across North America, from Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and New York to Miami!
