Biography for author, writer, poet and composer

Navigator was born as Michael T. 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 like to do exercise and attempt to stay is shape by playing basketball; I played drums in high school to keep my musical itch down.

I was born and breaded 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 and friends including 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. My destiny guided me to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and from the flatlands of the Mississippi Delta to Atlanta, Georgia in 1997.

I have a background in 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 totally what I speak.
