George Virden Watsky (born September 15, 1986) is an American rapper and poet from San Francisco, California. Watsky performs slam poetry, and was featured on Season 6 of Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry on HBO. Watsky's talents began to receive national and international acclaim in 2006 when he was the Youth Speaks Grand Slam Poetry Champion, and was also named Brave New Voices International Poetry Slam Champion.
Watsky was born in San Francisco, California, to Clare (née Miller) and Paul Watsky. George has a twin brother, Simon, who is a helicopter pilot. He has described himself as "half Jewish" (on his father's side). Watsky attended San Francisco University High School and then attended Emerson College in Boston.
Watsky started slam poetry at the age of 15, and has since exploded to the national audience.
In 2006, he appeared in Season Six, Episode Two of Def Poetry Jam, performing his poem "V for Virgin."
Watsky was described as the Bay Area's reigning teen champion as the winner of nearly a dozen slams, and was on the team that took fourth place in the national contest in 2005.

George Watsky’s fame as a slam poet and rapper has been earned through hard work and relentless performing and competing. In How to Ruin Everything, his first collection of essays, he opens up about everything: his life on the road, the loss of a friend to suicide, his expulsion from school for rap battling, and his role as an international ivory smuggler. Fans of Watsky’s outrageously dextrous wit won’t want to miss an up-close-and-personal look into the messy mind of this wordy wunderkind.
