Poppy Seed is an act that takes performance poetry to a new level. POPPY SEED presents poetic jazz-roots and culture that has been described as being 'On the cusp of poetry and song.' This prolific writer, a natural mystic, is from North London of Jamaican parentage.

Poppy Seed has been making steady waves on the London Poetry scene for the past five years. Appearances include Glastonbury, Chats Palace, ICA, The Albany, Base, and Oval Theatres, Africa Centre, Yaa Asantewa Centre, Rock Garden, Portabello Jazz Fest; Subterrania, The Fridge, various Community festivals, London Colleges, Prisons, and injustice Campaigns. 1998 saw extensive work on the first Album and 1999 marked her debut in Jamaica where she received an overwhelming reception, and respect. POPPY SEED was acknowledged at IBW's 'Black Woman 2000' celebrations in London as the guest performance.

Poppy Seed has been described as a 'Cut between Eryka Badu, Bob Marley and a Breeze of her own.' Some add Sade to the list of comparisons. Poppy Seed's original music and melodies are strong, embracing Afrikan Roots, Reggae, Jazz, R&B, and pop influences, which enhance the themes of the poetry. The lyrics are socially and environmentally aware, conscious, and well crafted. POPPY SEED is easy to listen to, moving, and inspiring. Live music and performance is the Poppy Seed preference, and stronghold. One must see to appreciate the visual and spiritual experience.

Poppy Seed (Angela) describes herself as an 'environmentally friendly humanitarian~ who is dealing in poetic sound power to entertain and educate.

She appears for PA's with backing tracks, Acoustic sets with 3-5 musicians, amid full band sets (extending to 10 members) when logistics allow. Full band sets or 'An Evening With Poppy Seed' are suitable for theatre and large music stages.
