Known to his fans as Wisdom, Tevya Jones was born into a family of musicians and poets in Colorado in 1972. He was first exposed to hip hop culture at the Ernest Ingold Boys Club in the Haight-Ashbury district of SF, after moving there with his mother at age 6.
Wisdom found refuge in writing and performing his first songs at an early age. Rooted in life experience, his diverse style incorporates lyrics that are streetwise with a political edge. He explains: "world issues and human suffering were common topics of discussion in our household, as well as exposure to many types of music and cultures. My music is a natural extension of this."
Wisdom's unique blend of conscious lyrics with live hip-hop and reggae continues to gain attention worldwide. On this special evening Wisdom will be previewing songs from his new album "Full Spectrum" which is due for an April release and features appearances by Steel Pulse, Michael Rose, Sizzla Kalonji & Lutan Fyah.
