Logan Phillips was born in Tombstone, Arizona in 1983. Of Irish-Slavic descent, he spent the first eighteen years of his life fourteen miles from the United States-Mexico border.

He holds a degree in Spanglish linguistics from Northern Arizona University and has taught Latin American literature, culture and translation at Universidad Internacional in Cuernavaca, Morelos. His former students also include third-graders and multinational business executives.

He competed in four National Poetry Slams in the US and co-hosted the first Mexican National Poetry Slam in 2007.

Also in 2007 Logan co-founded the multimedia performance collective Verbobala with video artists Adam Cooper-Terán and Moisés Regla. The group pioneers what they call spoken video, a combination of live video projections and bilingual spoken word, creating site-specific performance art, installation and spectacle. Logan also frequently DJ’s with the group’s party side project, Sonidero Verbobala.

Both with the group and solo, Logan has toured across the United States and Mexico, and in cities as far afield as Vancouver, Paris, Bogotá and Penzance, England. When not touring Logan splits his time between Arizona and Mexico City.
