Lesson 2, ex.2b, 3a

Q: You’re not from Minnesota, where are you from? A: I’m from Somerset, Wisconsin. It’s about 20 minutes east of Stillwater.

Q: How old were you when you first started beatboxing? A: I was about 15 when I started. Frankly speaking, I started out of pure boredom. I saw someone do it and I thought, 'I could do that too”. By the way, beatboxing could make an enjoyable hobby for anyone as it’s neither time nor money consuming.

Q: What other beatboxers do you look up to? A: The biggest influence on me must be Reeps One. He started out with some simple dubstep stuff, but now he’s awesomely technical in addition to the dubstep element.

Q: Besides beatboxing, do you sing or play any instruments? A: I’m awful at singing so I try to avoid it in my set, but you might hear me sing a cover of Pony by Ginuwine occasionally just to show people that it’s possible. I’ve been playing guitar for about six years, but I’ve definitely slowed down on it. It doesn’t really interest me as much as beatboxing.

Q: How did you get started beatboxing? A: I saw the video of Roxorloops and instantly had to start learning it. I just searched “how to beatbox” on Youtube and pretty much learned from there. Then after that it was pretty much creating my own style.

Q: What are you trying to accomplish with beatboxing? Can you earn money this way? A: You can’t be serious. Just to have fun, really. It’s hard to get paid for a set that’s only 10-20 minutes.

Q: What are your future goals? A: I think I’m going to try and start a serious You tube channel. I know people enjoy my beatboxing, and because I don’t have a lot of material on the internet I don’t get my name out as much as I probably should. And Youtube pays once you get enough views.

Q: Some of the noises you make are literally crazy. Something I couldn’t ever do. Did you always have this talent, or what is something you taught yourself? A: Well my brother and I always did impressions of funny actors/movies, so that could have helped me in some way, but other than that it was really just teaching myself.

Q: What was it like to be on stage in front of all of those people? Were you nervous? A: I don’t really get nervous any more. I know I’m good at what I do, so I just try not to panic and just think of what I should do next.

Q: Right now beatboxing is a hobby, could you see it being a career ever? A: It’s just a hobby. It’s a nice way to have fun and make money on the side, but because it’s hard to go longer than 20 minutes, you’re only going to get paid for a 20 minute set.

Q: What are your plans regarding the workshops you’ll be holding with schoolkids? A: I do an introduction to beatboxing workshop, which is designed to get absolutely anybody making music with their voice within 60 minutes, whether they are a baby or a granny.

Q: Where do you see yourself in ten years? A: Most likely working some sort of IT job, I enjoy computers so I think I’ll do well in that industry.

Q: Where can the listeners hear or see all of your work?
