By: FYID NYC INC Guy Kelton Jones I., the celebrated New York-born, Southern-raised artist, headlined Naos Lounge's annual Xmas Market in the vibrant Ponte Milvio neighborhood of Rome. The performance marked a preview of his upcoming spoken word album, Midnight Sermon, blending poetry, hip hop, and soulful music into a captivating set that showcased Jones' raw emotion and storytelling prowess. Highlights included the deeply moving track "Feelings," a heartfelt tribute to Black women, where Jones shared, "I want Black women to know, we love you… just as you are. That is more than enough." This message resonated profoundly with the audience, transcending language barriers. Another standout moment came with The Last Night in Babylon, a track Jones described as prophetic. "It feels like a prophecy," he noted, as the piece's themes of history, resilience, and transformation moved the audience to reflective silence and enthusiastic applause. Performing in Rome for the first time, Jones reflected on the unifying power of music: "Even though the languages were different, we understand each other by soul and feeling. Music is the ultimate language." His debut at Naos Lounge proved the universal nature of art and its ability to connect people across cultures. Born in New York and raised in the southern United States, Jones' career has been defined by innovation and authenticity. A multi-talented singer, songwriter, rapper, teacher, and performer, he began writing poetry at age four, transitioning to musical theater and later collaborating with iconic artists such as The Floacist (Floetry), Fantastic Negrito, Talib Kweli, and Saul Williams. His unique artistry continues to push boundaries, blending spoken word with live performance to create deeply impactful work. Jones expressed gratitude to Francesca Sulis, artistic director, and Antonio Scarinci, owner of Naos Lounge, for making this memorable event possible. More than a performance, the night stood as a testament to the power of spoken word and live music to inspire and unite. Guy Kelton Jones' Midnight Sermon promises to extend his powerful voice and message to audiences worldwide. For updates, visit www.guykeltonjones.com.
