Spoken Word
Kit is a transgender boi, who has been slamming since he was 18 and has won numerous slams and toured all over the country. Kit has featured with nationally recognized poets like Jason Carney, Iyeoka Okoawo, Reggie Gibson and Michael Brown.
Before the age of 21, he landed a spot in the Lizard Lounge national slam team, competed in the Individual World Poetry Slam, and won the world’s largest slam. Kit’s words speak as if having a heart-to-heart with you, taking you to his home in Hawaii, to the streets of pride parades, and through his transition as an Asian American female to a male Transgender artist.
Kit’s pieces will bring you to tears as he navigates topics such as racism, sexism, and transphobia even within minority communities. Kit also uses comedy to speak to audiences providing a complete picture filled with positive and comedic stories about being queer, transgender, and Asian.
Currently he is one half of the nationally touring duo, The Good Asian Drivers, a music and spoken word group with award-winning composer and singer-songwriter Melissa Li.
