Two-Time GRAMMY-Nominated Spoken Word Artist Queen Sheba Claims Space in the National Conversation

CHICAGO - Oct. 1, 2025 - PRLog -- Two-time GRAMMY-nominated spoken word artist, author, and global performer Queen Sheba is emerging as one of the most potent and multifaceted voices in contemporary arts and culture. With a career that bridges poetry, music, social commentary, and live performance, she continues to shape the national narrative around spoken word as both an art form and a movement.

Best known for her electrifying stage presence and lyrical command, Queen Sheba has earned two consecutive GRAMMY nominations in the Best Spoken Word Poetry Album category. This milestone places her among the most visible and influential artists in the field. Her work spans albums, books, international touring, and the acclaimed performance platform she founded, Poetry vs. Hip-Hop®, now in its 10th year.

In February 2025, Queen Sheba was honored to serve as a presenter at the Grammy Premier Ceremony Awards.

"I don't create art to be heard simply, I create it to shift something," says Queen Sheba. "Spoken word is not just performance. It's preservation. It's documentation. It's liberation in real time."

A TEDx speaker and widely published author, Queen Sheba has toured across the United States, Europe, Canada, and Africa, sharing stages with icons in music, poetry, and activism. She has been featured at major festivals, universities, cultural institutions, and venues that span literary, musical, and social justice communities.
