A native of the Republic of Panama, Uva brings a unique blend of African consciousness, Spanish verses and a vibrant West Indian coloring to her multi-cultural audiences. Her eloquently soulful voice resonates and trumpets her poetic messages with incredible clarity creating a sanctuary of creative expression. Truly a performance artist, Uva has learned to appreciate the nuances of emotionally delivering her work so that her audiences can hear, see and feel her art in its totality. This commitment to excellence in her performances has garnered her the opportunity to share the stage with various artists including Musiq Soulchild, The Last Poets, Sonia Sanchez and Eric Benet-to name a few.
Uva's writing and bilingual delivery (Spanish & English) via the spoken word art form has garnered her numerous distinguished awards and accolades. She has captivated audiences with her "talking hands" and passionate approach to delivering her thoughts and often appears at venues as a featured artist.
Influenced by her African and Latin roots, Uva's personality is expressively representative of her cultural heritage as she weaves her experiences into her verses. A leader in the Philadelphia Renaissance, this Afro-Latina is certainly one to look out for as she continues her creative journey on stage and off. Her debut CD release, "Labor Of Love", on the lil' drummaboy recordings' label, has been eagerly anticipated for the past three years. The CD is a fusion of spoken word/poetry, jazz, hip-hop and soul. "Labor of Love" promises to be a Poetic Classic. Keep your eyes and ears on UVA, a real poet stepping up to the mic!
