简介

Gill Sotu offers poetic phrases, soulful singing, clever rhymes, and songs that have that old skool hip-hop feel. He's sometimes comedic and sometimes so touching he will make you cry. He is a poet that always speaks from the heart, moving audiences wherever he performs. SOTU got his start in slam poetry, and in 2006 was Grand Slam Poetry Champion of Ventura County. He went on to win the 2007 Los Angeles Grand Slam Championship, and in 2008 become a semi-finalist in the National Poetry Slam representing the San Diego Slam Team. SOTU is currently host and co-creator of 'Train of Thought', a successful weekly open Mic in North Park, San Deigo. In addition to poetry, he spends his time as a DJ, artist, emcee, and educator. SOTU's debut album "Elephant Heart" (2008) was nominated for five Mavric Independent Music Awards, including Song of the Year, Acoustic Song of the Year, Hip Hop Album of the Year, Song of the Year for Comedy, and Best Mixing of a Full Length CD. It is being reissued under CiXi Digital Records (2011), and for the first time available for digital download. INFLUENCES: Gil Scott Heron, Walter Mosley, Mos Def, Saul Williams, Erykah Badu, Blackilious, Talib Qweli, Common, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Paul Simon, Lauryn Hill, Marvin Gaye, and soul music in general.
