Some people perform and then there are people who transmit. 🎤🏆🌀 Meet Malachi Rivers ( @malachirivers )— spoken word poet, GRAMMY®-nominated songwriter, 3x Indie Series Award-winning actor, screenwriter, and one of the most complete artistic minds working right now. From a residency at the legendary Nuyorican Poets Café to the stage of the Apollo Theatre. From the Blue Note Jazz Café to NPR. From the Kennedy Center to David Fincher’s Oscar-winning film Mank. Malachi has moved through every room the culture has to offer — and left something real in each one. In 2026 he enters a new chapter as a GRAMMY®-nominated featured artist and co-writer on Queen Sheba’s A Hurricane in Heels — currently contending for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album. His debut album No Signal, Vol. 1 features collaborators including Doodlebug of the GRAMMY®-winning Digable Planets and Rutina Wesley. Before the awards, before the nominations, before the screens and the stages, Malachi Rivers is a poet and poetry has always been one of the oldest forms of mental health care our communities have ever known. At Zen Fest 2026 he’s bringing that gift back to where it belongs, in community, in healing and in the room with you. 🖤 REACH LA ZEN FEST 2026 📍The East Angel DTLA 🗓️ May 9th (clock emoji) 10am - 8pm 💸 FREE RSVP in bio to secure your ticket - tell a frienddd & see you there! #ZenFest2026 #ZenFolk #SpokenWord #NoSignalVol1 #NuyoricanPoetsCafe
