Flash Poetry

Everything is made up on the spot. Flash Poetry, also known as Nico, is a Melbourne freestyle rapper, guitarist, MC and author who performs with a four piece band of jazz improvisers, building whole sets from crowd suggestions, the room, and whatever happens to be alive in that moment. Rhythm and poetry cross into comedy and storytelling. He wrote the poetry collection The Silent World That Won't Stop Talking, and occasionally drops in a song from his album Reality, Now. The work has landed on the TEDxMelbourne stage and at festivals, expos, art galleries and corporate events, and the band has played to school kids, university students and residents of aged care homes. He can perform solo or with the full band, which is self sufficient on gear but prefers the venue PA where there is one. Working with Children Check held.
