A   renaissance man, baron.'s talent spans photography, graphic arts, music 
production, 
songwriting, journalism, and performance poetry. As a performance poet, 
baron.'s style is 
vivid and captivating. His brutal and heart-wrenching depiction of urban life 
shocks 
audiences again and again, yet a careful listener can quickly discerns an 
underlying 
message of love. baron.'s work is truthful, honest and passionate. Baron's   
debut CD 
"Troubled Man" involves listeners in a multi-layered experience - at once 
personal, 
political, and emotional. Marrying his unique performance style to hip-hop, 
house, blues, 
and r&b, baron.'s "Troubled Man" is one eclectic and powerful spoken-word CD.
