Ty Scott King is an award-winning, Billboard charting, GRAMMY® Award-considered artist who—for nearly three decades—has fine-tuned a unique balance between poetry and hip hop. Referred to by many as “the Maya Angelou of this generation,” Ty has shared stages with industry greats, awed international audiences, and performed at the United States Pentagon.

Her ability to remind others of their worth and purpose through her words has made her a sought-after artist and speaker across the globe. The featured poetic voice in national radio ads for corporate giants such as McDonald's, Pizza Hut (for which she won the prestigious Silver Mic Award), and Aveeno, Ty has also appeared on major television networks such as BET and TV One, and had multiple long-running successes on the Billboard Music Charts.

Ty’s eclectic list of accomplishments includes ranking among the top U.S. poets at the National Poetry Slam level, hosting both an internationally broadcasted television and radio show, and breaking ground in the legendary, award-winning group, Platinum Souls.

These days, the once shy Jamaican born, U.S.-raised girl who began writing when she was just eight years old and refined her talents early while attending an arts school is also a bestselling author and an accomplished speaker who is spreading healing, hope, and love through her words.

Memorable quote by Ty during this episode: “I don’t want success without him because it’s just empty.”
