Why did you start Beatboxing?
“I once fell down my stairs and made a noise, so I thought that was cool and kept mimicking that (a pf sound). I was making noises for awhile, then I saw Blake Lewis and Doug E. Fresh on American idol in 2007 and it was a wrap from there.”
Who inspired you?
“I was inspired by beatboxers like Blake Lewis, Doug E Fresh, Rahzel, Beardyman, Slizzer, and German beatboxers like Rocko, Alberto, Mando, Robeat.”
How did you learn to beatbox?
“At first I would listen to sounds, then i started mimicking other beatboxers (i never knew there were tutorials on beatboxing until much later) and then when I got into DJing a few years later i would to to mimic the music and scratching from a record.”
