When I was not involved in human beatboxing, theword" MUSIC" hits me. I hear lots of music with different genre and I enjoyed it. That’s why in my highschool days I always go to internet café and open the YouTube just to listen for the updated music’s. When I keep scrolling in YouTube, I have noticed that a person who holds a microphone but I do not know if he is a singer or not because of the position of the hand while holding a microphone, when I read the title it says human beatbox, something comes in my mind “What kind of talent is this?, I was curious, so I watched it.

I learned a little for watching but I need tutorial for a basic on it. Then I was started beatbox at the age of 14 with the discovered of a German human beatboxer named ROBEAT.

When I watched his tutorial video I was amazed because It has a step by step on how to do the basics and he can share the arrangement of the beats ,So this is the video what I talking about .

In beginner level, it’s very hard to learn especially the 3 basic sounds which is the B (Bass Drum), T (Hi-Hat) and PF and K (Outward and Inward Snare). In this basic sounds you can create a freestyle drums , so I practiced as I can , everywhere I beat , everytime I beat because I determined to learn . After the past years, I’ve improved but not so well. Hmmmm ,I can share to all of you my first video when I was 15 years old .I learned something nice in that video and that year I started as a human beatboxer. This video was taken December 2012 , Hope you like this video hehe .Check in d.tube :)

I know it was an awkward beat hehe, but I’m so proud to split some music and shows to my relatives, friends and my family. Since I was a highschool a simple opportunities comes in my life, which inviting me to perform in the activities in our school, parties. Etc. That’s why I thank God for the wonderful talent he gave to me and yeah I involved now in beatboxing.

So many stories to tell about of my passion in Beatboxing .There will be Part 2 soon , so stay tune :)
