About me
I am a beatboxer/vocal percussionist based in Birmingham. I have always loved copying sounds from the environment and doing impressions/impersonations, and combined with a love of music, in many ways this became a natural progression. I started properly working on my craft back in 2012 when I began imitating instrumentals of well-known songs and sounds.Since then I have competed nationally and placed Top 16 at the UK Beatbox Championships. Most recently I have been part of the UK’s leading contemporary acapella group, The Sons of Pitches. We won have been on four UK tours and I have delivered vocal/beatbox workshops around the world. I have collaborated on television with JP Cooper, The Vamps, Midge Ure and Tom Chaplin (Keane).
I have worked for Microsoft, Nokia, Iceland, and at events for the NFL and the Commonwealth Games.
I have recently started working on music production and have developed good experience in editing, mixing and mastering both acapella and non-acapella music tracks.
I am looking to progress myself in multiple fields including live sessions, collaborations, music production, and corporate work.
