Soul City Open Mic features Petula Caesar

Petula Caesar, “Tula” to her friends and fans (in addition to being an author, an editor, and a journalist) is a performance poet and a recording artist. Her live shows are spoken word poetry at its sexiest, most playful, and most thought provoking. Her musical partnership with producer Mo-Rece of Stinkiface Music has created a unique spoken vocal style and a high powered sound to their house music tracks. Though she worked in public relations for over 10 years, an essay she wrote on a whim was published in Baltimore’s daily paper The Sun, moving her into writing full steam ahead. It became a full time career when Tula became a regular contributing writer for Baltimore’s City Paper and for The Afro American Newspaper. Tula published her first erotica collection, Lipstick And Other Stories in 2005, and went on to become a contributing writer to Zane’s erotica anthology Caramel Flava. She also became Managing Editor of Mic Life Magazine, a Baltimore-based bi-monthly publication that covers the underground arts and entertainment scene in the DMV, and has interviewed neosoul artists like Kindred the Family Soul, Raheem DeVaughn, Dwele and Anthony David.
