Blaq Kharma

BlaqKharma was born in the small, rural town of Whiteville, North Carolina in the mid 80’s. She first moved to the city of Atlanta at the age of three. Atlanta served as an authentic reminder that there was more to life than the dilapidated slave shacks that decorated acres of fields back home.

BlaqKharma always wrote short stories as a little girl. She didn’t begin to take writing seriously until she reached the age of 11. For years, she kept the works that she wrote in her notebook to herself until a friend urged her to compete in her first high school talent show. She place third in the competition that evening. Before graduating high school, she competed and placed in several more competitions. Shortly after graduating, she began production on her first spoken word album, “Shadowstonez and Cloudy Water”. After completing the project, she shelved it due to personal reasons.

In early 2006, BlaqKharma began working as a talent manager with a small independent record label based in Buford, Georgia. She soon split the following year due to creative and professional differences. In 2007, she began hosting her first poetry open mic once a month at Urban Grind Coffeehouse in the city of Atlanta. She held down that spot for 3 years. After publishing a volume of poetry and establishing her website: www.kharmasworld.com in 2009, BlaqKharma walked away from hosting poetry in 2010 to further pursue her musical and jounalism careers.

From 2010 to now, BlaqKharma has released a Hip Hop/Spoken Word mixtape in December of 2011 entitled: The Leak. Outside of making music, she currently spends her time writing. He 2nd mixtape, “The wraith” is slated to be released in the summer of
013.

In 2013, Blaq Kharma started working with On The Rise Media as a radio show host/personality (Monday Nights from 9-11pm/est “The Blaq Hour” ) as well as an editor for On The Rise Magazine. She also continues to pursue her music career as well as creator of the Kharma’s World blog site. Please be sure to check out her blog http://blaqkharma.com (formally KharmasWorld.com ).
