I am who I am because of who I was
<p><span class="notranslate">As an artist, I have been taken advantage of, overlooked, forgotten, undermined, stolen from, lied to, mislead, judged...etc. With Artis(Tree) I have been able to create a stage that has allowed me to no longer have to beg to be heard. I wanted to extend that same courtesy and opportunity to others. Artis(Tree) is a stage where all are welcome and all are on a level playing field. Artis(Tree) isn't about LoveReigns, it is simply about giving a voice to the voiceless.</span></p> <p>Born and raised in Miami, FL Taryn ”LoveReigns” Wharwood has been writing poetry since the tender age of 5 years old and has been performing for as many years.
