A.D. Carson is a high school English teacher who was once a high school student whose only aspiration in life was to become a professional hip hop artist. After releasing his first album, reality brought him into the realm of education as a more lucrative profession.
He never lost his Hip-Hop ties though, using his unique career path and avocations to engage students and audiences of all ages and disciplines, he’s continued bridging the gap between the music and literature through teaching, performing and conducting workshops. An educator, writer, and performance artist, Carson received a B.A. in Education and Creative Writing from Millikin University and an M.A. in English from the University of Illinois, Springfield.
