I’m honored to have won the 2019 American Beatbox Loopstation Championships! I’ll be competing in Berlin at the World Championships in May.

I've spent the past several years learning how to beatbox by watching videos, attending events, and even living in "The Beatbox House" in Brooklyn. I now want to join the pioneers pushing beatboxing forward, and, more importantly, I want to offer people the tools they need to learn the art form. During my time at Harvard I helped organize several of their first ever beatboxing events, with the most notable being Reeps One's week-long residency through the Office for the Arts, which was also featured in “We Speak Music,” a documentary presented by Nokia Bell Labs. Additionally, I've been helping with the revival of humanbeatbox.com, and regularly perform and educate through live and audio performances. My research on the relationship between beatboxing and phonology has been featured in the Linguistic Society of America Annual Meeting, and the Old Word Conference in Phonology. I believe that working on your own craft is only half as important as finding ways to teach, uplift, and inspire others, which is why I'm in the process of starting my own beatbox education company. Some other videos and appearances are available on my press page.

Beatbox "Battles" (a remnant of beatboxing's roots in Hip-Hop) are a popular outlet for beatboxers to perform and compete. For most events, entrants are ranked, then the "Top 16" are selected for the actual battle. The Top 16 then face off in a single elimination bracket until there is a winner.
