About Pedro el Poeta
Originally from Nicaragua, Pedro was born
with poetry and rhyme laced into his
bloodstream. He began reading,
reciting and writing poetry from a very
young age. After a harrowing journey
to the US to escape civil war when he
was only seven years old, Pedro grew
up in the Washington D.C. area and
spent most of his life on stage. Learning
English by listening to Rap and Hip-Hop
artists, like Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Tupac
and others set the foundation for his
seemingly effortless rhythmical freestyle future.
Pedro has a long history of spoken word poetry
accomplishments for his age, including
opening for Def Poetry Jam and other
ticket mastered events in Tampa Bay
Florida. He seamlessly made his way
into a more Hip-Hop-focused career in
2008. El Poeta has since shared his
quick wit and raw skills for theatres, radio
stations, art galleries, coffee shops, bars and
clubs both nationally and internationally.
Pedro currently resides with his family in St.
Petersburg, Florida.
