One of the world’s leading beatboxers, Shlomo has worked for years to push the boundaries of beatboxing as an artform. (Read more in the biography).
From the mouth
Shlomo can make music with his mouth that you cannot begin to imagine. His ability to create all manner of drum sounds, vocal scratches and complex rhythmic beatbox techniques have seen him perform all over the planet, work with a whole host of international artists, and become a YouTube sensation!
He has worked and performed with artists such as Mr Scruff, the Swingle Singers, Damon Albarn, the Specials, Bill Bailey and his own hip hop crew Foreign Beggars.
International music
Shlomo has recorded music for the Olympic Games with Björk, appeared on ‘Later… with Jools Holland’ and appeared at Glastonbury.
He makes original human music through any means possible, be it loop sampling, group performance or collaborative improvisations.
Also a talented jazz drummer and classically-trained percussionist, Shlomo treats the art of beatboxing as a form of music and a means for creative expression.
