Oveous Maximus, is a world traveler not because he chooses to be but because the demand for his 'gift' allows him to be. He's an internationally recognized and award-winning Spoken Word Artist that touches the lives of every individual that happens to come across his path. The beginnings of his spoken word career came after his brother, Carlos “Ziiinc Blue” Salcedo, tragically ended his life. This hardship inspired Oveous to live the life he wanted his brother to live and share his brother's brilliance to his current followers.

You may already recognize Oveous as he was featured on Showtime at the Apollo, as a HBO Def Poet, on CurrentTV, and as Grandslam Poetry Champion. His presence is growing even stronger as his tour schedule continues to get longer by the day.
