So I am Beasty and

I am a beatboxer I have been practicing for 7 years

Beatboxing is one of the 5 elements of hip hop,

together with beatmaking,

there is dance, scratch ...

and rap and all the rest,

dancing on your head, etc...

I make music with my mouth and everything started for me

when the first beatboxer I was listening to was

in 2005, something like that, but beatboxing

itself started in the 80's

so we are going to go back in time;

here is my DeLorean

So

The 80's..

crazy stuff

the 80's

So the first precursor to human beatbox for me

Biz Markie ... Biz Markie ... from NYC

a good NY guy Big guy...

An he makes sounds like this...

A little later...

Here we go

It's Doug E. Fresh

So Doug E. Fresh

He invented that sound, It's called a click roll.

Beat box basics

so it went like this, a little melody...

Later again, we step the game up,

I discovered Rahzel,

his nickname is

« the godfather of noise »

again, it comes from NYC

and it goes like this...

Now it's up one step,

and then he invented something crazy,

I don't know how he came up with it he thought "Rhythm is cool"

but then the singers

we are a bit jealous of the singers, we should push ourselves forward

so he thought

why don't we put in some lyrics at the same time as the beat

Why not?

so he did a cover

of Alia, it's RNB

so the lyrics are ...

So...

with that voice, he made an intro in that style,

Let me do it for you.

Ladies and Gentleman,

One man. One desire. He wants to save the world

The beat the chorus

at the same time

Thanks for them

So this is the real basis of it all

then a rather « new school » style arised.

Kenny Muhammad, also American,

Kenny Muhammad,

he is my master, the master of masters

when I heard this guy I went "whoa"!

For me, he is the most technical of all

so here is a little demo of Kenny,

Kenny Muhammad

so

today,

in beatboxing, there is

the competition, that where I started:

we usually go crazy,

we try to set a maximum of sounds in

as little time as possible, we try to go as fast as possible

something like that, I'll do it at slow motion

slow motion

the goal is to set it in a beat

so drum roll

on a beat like this...

Thanks thanks .... wait

Wait wait ... keep standing

ok you see my muscles

I am the bouncer and here is my nightclub

from the inside

you hear that

you are in the waiting line

and

if you want to go in my nightclub you will have to make a noise

never heard at TEDx Ok let's go!

I like to move it

I like to move it

you like to .... Audience : move it!

Thanks!
