A Modern-Day Troubadour and Artivist (Artist + Activist) for humanity!
Arthur (Trey) Carlisle, aka EMCEE P.O.E.T.R.E.Y or T.R.E.Y THE TROUBADOUR, is a gifted Spoken Word Artist, Singer-Songwriter, Storyteller and Speaker.
A Gen Z Griot, Trey began a journey at the age of 13 of training in the performing arts, storytelling, peace-building work, and mindfulness practices, with the dream of using these tools to create spaces where people across racial, religious, cultural, and political divides can “re-humanize” each other, find common ground, and work together to build a world where everyone belongs.
In his live shows, artistic works, and educational series, EMCEE P.O.E.T.R.E.Y uses storytelling, songs, spoken word, and short teachings to help people honor our shared humanity and shared planet.
