Professor MiXT is a seasoned attorney, professor, and poet.  Over the past year, he wrote, composed, performed, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered, this project from his home studio. To add to this unique release, instruments were performed in collaboration with international musicians over virtual recording sessions across four countries on three continents.

As a spoken word poet and music producer, Professor MiXT uses music to tell stories about artsy Black folk who fall up. His debut album, “Love Letters to a Queen,” is a collection of 16 Spoken Word pieces written to, for, and about Black women who desire to be seen, loved, appreciated, and needed as their authentic selves. The music is a blend of rhythmic soul and lo-fi with contemporary R&B sensitivities.

The album poignantly explores a wide range of emotions shared between a man and the woman he desires. “Sista Goddess Royal” and “Perfect Stranger” offer tender appreciation of feminine energy. “Mad About You” and “Perfectly Strange Her” display honest vulnerabilities in the wake of lost love. “All Roads Lead” and “Petrichor” deliver passionate expressions of Black love. “Love Is” and “Take You” serve as transparent testimonies of relationships rooted in faith.
