Biography for author, writer, poet and composer
Navigator was born as Michael Council, December 18th, at the age of five I realized that I was gifted with the power of the spoken word. At my kindergarten graduation ceremony, I quickly stunned the audience with a prolific speech entitled "Happiest Child Alive". I was born in Mississippi, went to Broad Street High School in Shelby, Mississippi. I am a Gulf War Veteran. During the Gulf War, it became a year of spoken words. I was writing so many letters back home to family; friends and the local newspapers. This is where I started to improve on my craft of writing spoken words. I would write poems about the war and the conditions in which we had to survive under the heat and just living the life of a soldier you know, "That Man". I was a young soldier but didn't think about what I was doing at the time just a job out of high school. After the war, I had a tour in Europe. I have some background in fashion, fashion marketing and modeling experience. My objective is to express the spoken word through positive dialogue giving a message so open and clear that you understand what I speak with truth and care. My goal is to open your mind from a poet's prospective and grace audiences with music and spoken words that when you listen to it, it empowers your thinking for that moment, motivates, educates you on Urban Spoken words that we live by daily. I give much thanks to all the poets and musical talents that have open doors to present a different expression through words & music at a time when words and music give directions in which we program ourselves to live by. I thank you for the opportunity to introduce my spoken words with original music to you and I hope that you get something positive during your listening. I welcome you to Navigator's Swirl.
