I was born in 1984 in Harare, Zimbabwe. I left High School at the age of 15 when my family emmigrated to the United Kingdom in 2000. I met my wonderful wife- Charlotte- at the end of 2000 and we married in 2004. Our beautiful daughter- Evelyn- was born the following year. I currently live in Hertfordshire and work in London as an IT Consultant and Technical Manager for Co-Operative Systems.
It was during the months leading up to the UK move that I started writing poetry as a way for me to express my deepest and darkest emotions in a private and controlled outlet. Over time I came to find that this was only a temporary release so long as the words were kept secret. I found that the only true way to truly set the heart and mind free was to release those inner most thoughts and feelings to the world- the result of which is Nekatu Poetry.
