Neeko Ford

My name is Neeko Ford, but that is simply just another name tag to separate myself from humanity and I'm not one for labels very much. I am a poet (Yes as pretentious and f*****g funny as a job title as that sounds) who has performed at the NYC Poetry festival, Beast Crawls Poetry Festival in Oakland & many more along as a song writer, musician who in July 14th of 2017 released my debut concept album of 7 years in process called Resonating Cycles. Resonating Cycles is a concept album, a coming of age story about generational cycles, and trying ones best to find an even medium between balancing on the tightrope of the contradictions that come from walking both sides of condemning what we loathed in the vacant room of a non-existent childhood while at the same time drilling nails in our own expectations for becoming those very same things we said we’d never be. And hopefully peeling off the scabs of childhood abuse, and instead of repressing what’s underneath them, learning to not use the scars as an excuse to be the same but motivation to be better than all those things we despised digesting while growing up. It may not be a story with a resolution, but I tried my best to project that even abuse can be beautiful if it’s flowering your changes.
