April Lee Fields is an author, a soulful songstress and a spoken word artist.
Performing live readings from her works, April effortlessly brings the quietude of the written word to life by submerging her audience in the sacred and ancient art of storytelling. Her original poetic performances take her audience on an epic Spoken Word journey across continents; from small-town America to hippy communes deep in the Australian Outback, from the linoleum suburbs of her hometown in Cornwall, UK, to overgrown jungle temples deep in the heart of Asia.
Each performance is set against a gentle instrumental backdrop where her vivid descriptions of both the exotic and the mundane are effortlessly entwined with a soulful observation that will completely transport her listener into a world of pure literary and melodic magic.
April has not only created her very own niche style within the world of spoken word but also beautifully curates her own shows; hosting open mic slots and booking feature poetic performers, fire twirlers and burlesque performances to accompany her own act of Story & Song.
April produces her own music, writes, edits, formats, designs, self publishes, campaigns & markets her literature independently and, further adding to her world of beauty and spirituality, also models; using these powerful images to support her cover work.
April Lee Fields is the epitome of a one woman army and, ultimately, a diverse force to be reckoned with.
