::Radio 1 Beatbox Champion::

::Channel 4Talent Award Winner::

Not only is THePETEBOX one of the world’s finest human Beatboxers, he has spent the past two years crafting a whole new approach to using his vocal dexterity to create music.

His performances are more similar to that of a full band as he builds each layer of his tracks live using a loop pedal to construct fully crafted songs before the amazed audience. THEPETEBOX is described on djrankings.org. They too- are taken on a journey of real

time music production which builds up and delivers a full frequency spectrum of sound, from deep bass, to high pitched trumpets and multiple vocal harmonies – all made with his mouth!

This pioneering endeavour won THePETEBOX a Channel 4Talent Award, placing him alongside some of the country’s most promising creative and innovative individuals and adding to his earlier gained title as Radio 1 Beatboxing Champion.

He has taken his show around Africa and Europe as well as a host of UK performances, which have mesmerised crowds at Glastonbury, Isle of White Festival, Bestival, Creamfields and V Festival amongst many others.

His breathtaking abilities to create, and re-create sounds and arrangements encompassing many styles of music from hip-hop to drum & bass, jazz, house, garage and rock have established him as an explosive live performer and seen him play at countless club nights and festivals around the world over the past three she-years. He has toured and collaborated with Jay Sean, Foreign Beggars and Diversity, leading to notable appearances on MTV, and E4 Music – while he has also supported heavyweights like Grandmaster Flash, Will Smith, Pendulum, Mystery Jets, Grooverider, Tim Westwood and even The Human League.

Guest appearances on national radio – Kerrang! and now- Absolute – and across BBC radio and television have helped him gain widespread recognition, on top of a career highlight performance in front of over

10,000 people in Trafalgar Square at the World Free Running Championships, where he of course smashed it.

He has also been showcased on television sets across Latin America after being flown over to Mexico to star in an advert for Telefónica Movistar – or 02 as its better known in the UK – which aired in Mexico,

Panama and Guatemala.

This year THePETEBOX will continue to push boundaries with his first solo studio project, more live shows around the globe and collaborations including singles with the Hoxton Whores and Ben Fawce.

He is also hard at work with the bands Swimming, and WeShowUpOnRadaR and has been making beats and sounds for Phil the-Kieran. It’s already been an epic year for THePETEBOX but there is still

so much more still to come!
