Virtuous aka 'V'

‘V’ is an18 year old MC prodigy, who goes by a name meaning: ‘potent, efficacious; morally excellent & upright’. This stands him in good stead as much in his performances, as in his role as a teacher, always bringing his focus to bear on the troublesome issues of our times, like poverty, violence, drug abuse and global warming. He uses music to get people thinking and reflecting on these problems, inviting them to explore solutions to break the cycles, and to tap into their own self-expression to combat discouragement or any sense of futility.
With his charisma onstage he gets the audience excited to participate in the moment of creation of a good time, while heightening awareness of their ability to impact the world, as he does: with infectious positivity. He has performed internationally and in all kinds of venues in the US, and is currently recording material for an album tentatively entitled “Code Switch”. He invites you to contact him via Facebook at www.facebook.com/vturf
