In his brand new solo show MOUTHTRONICA, acclaimed British beatboxer Shlomo takes us on a one man musical mashup using nothing but his mouth, a microphone and a loop sampler. With some help from the audience, this oral magician creates breathtakingly original soundscapes ranging from experimental vocal acrobatics to jawdropping one-man renditions of classic tunes from jazz and drum n bass to latin and soul.
Shlomo is a world record holding beatboxer best known for his experimental collaborations with a range of artists such as DJ Yoda, Imogen Heap, Martha Wainwright, Hexstatic, Portico Quartet, Jarvis Cocker and his 8-piece beatbox troupe The Vocal Orchestra. Shlomo has been beatboxing since getting his first drumkit at the age of 8. Aged 18 he joined the award-winning hip hop group Foreign Beggars on their world tour. After featuring on Bjork’s all-vocal album Medulla he performed on BBC2’s “Later with Jools Holland”. Shlomo is now Artist in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre where he curates a collaborative concert series called Music Through Unconventional Means.
