Christopher James White is a poet, illustrator, and occasional filmmaker from Atlanta who’s been travelling the world since he moved to Tokyo two years ago. He started performing spoken word in the Atlanta scene at the behest of a friend and fellow poet and sought it out as soon as he moved to Melbourne.

He’s the host of a podcast called “Under the Influence” where he explores questions of life, love, hip hop, and everything else in the universe. His photography and illustration can be found under his alter ego Walt Kovacs. You can follow him on Instagram @walt.kovacs
