School teacher to Spoken-word superstar

Humble The Poet is a Canadian author, rapper, and spoken-word artist.

In 2010 he left his job as a school teacher to pursue poetry and music full-time. Today his videos have millions of views and he tours the world, but he wasn’t always this successful or famous. When he quit his job to go all in, he got ripped off, lost all his money, and had to move back in with his parents.

It was then that he slowly started to figure out how he had to show up every day in order to be successful. He started writing and blogging and eventually self published a book from his blog. He realised he had to make his own opportunities instead of waiting for them. Once this clicked, the rest was history. His book turned into a an opportunity to film an Apple ad, which then opened more doors.


Things No-One Else Can Teach Us

His latest book, “Things No-One Else Can Teach Us”, shares raw and honest stories about how a change in mindset can radically alter one’s outlook in life.

Humble the Poet is an exciting voice in the music and art world. He’s young but wise and I really loved talking to him. I think everyone can learn something from him and I’m excited to watch his career grow.
