SUTY KOMSONKEO
Born and raised in Lowell, MA, Suty Komsonkeo timidly began performing spoken word poetry in 2011 with a non-profit organization known as Freeverse. Little did he know, he would be flying to San Francisco later that year to compete at the 2011 Brave New Voices competition with the Lowell Youth Slam Team. Afterwards, Suty pursued, and recently received, a degree in Civil Engineering at the George Washington University. While in Washington, DC, he was given the opportunity to feature and perform at notable events and venues, such as, Busboys and Poets, Sulu DC, and IGNITION. He was also able to fuel his love for dance by joining a competitive Indian dance team known as GW Raas, a hip hop dance troupe called Capital Funk, and dancing Filipino cultural dances with the Philippine Cultural Society. Suty's other hobbies include wearing his glasses only when he wants to look smart, and water. He is ecstatic to feature at East Meet Words and share with a crowd of fresh faces!


/// ABOUT EAST MEETS WORDS & EMW BOOKSTORE ///


East Meets Words is the longest running Asian American / Pacific Islander open mic series in the East Coast.


We strive to create a safer space and a platform for artists and non-artists to perform work of all stages. Everyone is welcome to attend and sign up on the open mic. The space is especially appreciative of work that challenges stereotypes and amplifies marginalized voices - prioritizing API performers. Time is set aside at each open mic for community announcements, meant to raise awareness about social justice issues in the greater Boston area.


Enjoy, instagram and tweet with hashtag #eastmeetswords and #emwbookstore.
