RN Wagner aka AnOrphansInventory, is a spoken word poet/singer-songwriter/hip-hop artist/community organizer/all ages arts ambassador/film-maker/photographer and HUEman. Through his various means of expression and character, he takes you on a vivid emotional burst of thoughts and imagery, that streams one personal-political hardship after another, into a blender of sobering optimism that shakes the apathetic nature of us all. Originally raised on homemade oatmeal in St. John's, Newfoundland until he was 9 years old, but we guess you could say the egg was created in Newfoundland, hatched in Saint John, New Brunswick, then he moved to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and then came back to Newfoundland before his first birthday. RN now lives, works, and endlessly volunteers in St. John's since 2007 after living in Ontario for 12 years. Baseball, trading cards, tobogganing, ninja turtles, bike adventures and chasing down ice cream trucks took up most of his early childhood. Then his father (David Wagner) was diagnosed with colon cancer when RN was 7 years old, and things have never been ordinary since.....
