Michael “MikeAll” Grandsoult is a Scarborough, Ontarian and Hip Hop educator. He began writing poems in the primary years of elementary school and started rapping in the junior grades. He has released three solo albums; “Mike Check” (2008), “Mike Support” (2015) and “Mike All” (2018). In 2012, Michael became a published author for the first time via the anthology, “Basodee.” In 2019, he helped form the Hip Hop Headucatorz. Michael is currently an elementary school teacher with the Toronto Catholic District School Board. He uses rap/poetry as a bridge for learning and strives to promote passion for literacy. He credits his love of literature to his Guyanese- born parents, Cheryl and David Grandsoult, who read to him as a child and encouraged him to read and write. MikeAll’s goal is to put the poet back into Rhythm And Poetry.
