Part 2

Umm, just go for it, I think that’s one of the things when we work with especially young kids they are like embarrassed by the sounds they make, and I was too. I saw one or two really good beatboxers and I was really just like 'do I go up to them and say, "hey how did you learn that noise?"' You know, you constantly think, coming from a traditional way of learning music, that there is a particular way to do something. Your guy’s tutorials, I watched those and thought 'oh I really struggle to get that snare sound, but I have one of my own' and I think it's just finding your voice and just getting really good at what you have to offer, like Rahzel obviously sounds very much like Rahzel and wouldn’t it be sad if we all sounded like Rahzel, although it would be nice.

Talking about your sounds, because on your live show you're just doing the basic beat, but do you actually practice and get more of the technical stuff?

I wish I had the time, umm when we did some recording recently I did have to start metronoming my beatbox and start experimenting with, you know, getting sounds whilst breathing in and things like that, and trying to get like a low bass note for the bass drum. I would love more time to do that and I would love to get a portable amp and a mic and annoy the neighbours really!

Lastly, are you a member of Humanbeatbox.com?

I am, yes.

How did you come across the website?

Funnily enough Luke, the singer of the band, I dunno who told him but somebody sent him a link “oh you should check this out” I think actually he was researching for me because I didn’t have a computer at the time and he said "oh you should check this out" and I was like "ohh I’ll get around to it" and umm I did.

So what’s your general opinion of the site?

It’s really good. I love the tutorials, I think that is the, I actually downloaded the Killa Kela interview recently which I think was shot in a Fopp store, it was just so good to see what he does because it’s quite hard for me to get to gigs at the moment, it’s just really good, one thing I would love if possible or I haven’t found is if they had a CD shop section as well because it’s hard to get hold of good beatbox CDs in the shops.

Right thank you John, very much and I will be here to enjoy the show.
