EarCandys core members comprise of: Miles, who began to host art shows of his works, at which his spoken word would be the fire that filled the room. As life imitated art, Miles had finally become poetry and poetry would become him. Genesis, one of the most talented and visually engaging spoken word artists to emerge on the scene, has been reciting poetry since 1995 and feels his greatest piece as yet to be written; and Passion, a founding director of the EarCandy Youth Foundation, who truly epitomizes her name. In her role as director, she has developed the literacy program, Writing Instead of Fighting."

The core members are supported by a diverse group of talented individuals working behind the scenes to further EarCandys mission. EarCandy is truly a powerful force against negativity. Whos coming? The poets are coming!
