Born in Nicaragua, raised in Canada, DJ Morales, a.k.a. Vocab, has been performing poetry since the age of 17. At 18, she was a member of the 2005 and 2006 Ottawa Slam Team, which represented at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word. At 19, she was a member of the 2007 New York City Youth Slam Team which competed at Brave New Voices, a national poetry slam competition which featured 44 youth poetry teams from across the states and UK. Now at the age of 23, she has performed from Ottawa to Vancouver, New York to San Jose, in various locations for crowds as prestigious as the Canada Council, at Westfest, Madison Square Garden, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and more. Her poetry is a reflection of what it is like to be a youth, a woman, an immigrant, and a human being.
