Herrison Chicas was born and raised in Uniondale, New York. From an early age, he was intrigued by simple Reggaeton beats and witty Hip-Hop punch lines that would later inspire him to write his own rap verses. Chicas, along with some of his peers, would freestyle and rap battle during school. However, it would not be until he entered college where he would first hear and fall in love with spoken word.
Today, Chicas is currently a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill seeking a Bachelor in Psychology, the University Coordinator of Sacrificial Poets, and the Co-Director of UNC Wordsmiths- an organization dedicated to providing Open Mic’s for students and maintaining/encouraging poetry on campus. He has traveled to various universities across the nation- including UC Berkley, Georgia State University, Old Dominion University, Virginia CommonWealth University- performing spoken word pieces as well as spreading SacPo’s purpose. His poetry is heavily influenced by his Latino/New York culture and credits much of his success to Sacrificial Poets.
