Miraculously like a newborn coming out the womb into this world, I was artistically conceived on 34th Street & 7th Ave. In reminiscing when I first began my journey, I never imagined I would become the Revolutionary Artist I am today.  Like 360 Degrees of Evolution, the four corners of Herald Square (The Square) were the stepping stones in my evolution into a multi-dimensional, forward-thinking artist. Like a curious child, I crawled and scrapped my way through the four corners of The Square until I completed my transformation of artistic talents.

My expedition originated with poetical booklets and music before transitioning into theater/acting, touring plays, modeling, screenplays/commercial writing to eventually becoming a celebrity artist/curator. However, this seemingly effortless marriage of talents came with a series of "testing of faith". I strategically chose the proximity of 34th Street in my vision of becoming an artistic "Miracle from 34th Street". My chest move strategy was to market my artistry in the World's Greatest City on the most famous block. So, come experience this once homeless creative to "Mama, I made it" partly-artistic memoir of a creative determined to make it against all odds. Introducing "The World's Poetical Communicative Artist". Be sure to pre-order this POWERFUL book detailing the evolution of revolutionary artist, LaRonz Murray in the heart of New York City.
