Ms. Key Da Queen a.k.a Underground Kween is a poet, songwriter, and motivational speaker from Cleveland, OH by way of Buffalo NY and Baltimore MD. She started writing at the young age of 7 after falling in love with writers/poets such as Phyllis Wheatley, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Walter Dean Myers, Langston Hughes, and Rosa Guy. While secluding herself in corners and parks while her siblings and peers played and did the normal things young adolescents do, Kween began to perfect her art purely as a release and therapeutic measure. At 13 she delved deeply into Hip Hop after being inspired by artists such as Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, X-Clan, and Public Enemy, but it was that moment she walked into a record store in Mondawmin Mall (in Baltimore, MD) at age 13 and heard the song Spontaneity by Bahamadia, when she realized how powerful words truly were. Being inspired by the lyrical genius and/or artistic talents of Bahamadia, Tribe Called Quest, WU Tang Clan, Ursula Rucker, The Roots, Little Brother, Black Ice, Slum Village, Nikka Costa, Res, Pharoahe Monche, Kadir Nelson, Hulis Maruk, The Last Poets, Nikki Giovanni, Donald Goines, Paul Robeson, Billie Holiday, Cornell West, Marcus Garvey, and a tremendous list of many more, prominent individuals, Kween continued to hone her passion: Poetry.
Kween, has been a spoken word poet and Hip Hop activist for almost 5 yrs. She has performed in many venues in Cleveland OH, such as the Vibe Session at Kamikaze Coffeehouse (house poet), Lyrical Rhythms at the B-Side (house poet), The Sirrha House, The Robins Nest Lounge, Club 75, Cleveland Coyote, The Club HiFi, The Grog Shop, Cleveland State University, Tri-C Metro Campus, The Labyrinth, along with many other venues in and around the Cleveland area (including Akron, Cincinnati, Columbus Monticello NY, hometown Buffalo, N.Y.). She has been a feature poet in NappyHead Entertainments reoccurring event Queens Of The Iron Mic. Kween is also not just a poets poet, she shares her talent among very diverse crowds, ranging from elementary schools to Hip Hop showcases. She was also on the coordinating committee to Clevelands From The Streets to The Classroom, an event that was held at Tri-C Metro and CSU about finding ways to implement Hip Hop into the current educational curriculum.
On a more personal note, Kween is a single mother of 4 boys (two of which are Autistic). She resides in Cleveland (Ohio City), Ohio and is a graduate of Tri-C Metro. She recieved her Associates of Arts degree in the Spring 08 and will be attending C.S.U. to obtain her Bachelors in Social Work. At her school Cuyahoga Community College (Metro Campus) she was the President of the Black Student Union, a reporter on The Mosaic school newspaper, a mentee in the Black Caucus mentoring program, on the coordinating committee of the Action Zone, Treasurer of the Tangkagle Mask Dancers (a West African Dance Club), and a member of Student Support Services. And amongst all that she is a poet, a student of life, whose purpose is to uplift and enlighten.

You Are 60% Open Minded
You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded.
Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints.
But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line.
You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.
How Open Minded Are You?
You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all.
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul
What Kind of Soul Are You?
