Acclaimed world record-breaking beatboxer, SK Shlomo, makes all kinds of music using just their mouth and a microphone.
Their incredibly energetic Beatbox Adventure For Kids is like nothing you have seen before – jaw-dropping, inspirational and totally absorbing. They teach a room full of kids, and their equally enthusiastic parents, to become “superstar beatboxers” in a jam-packed interactive 45-50 minute show.
Join this amazing ‘microphone magician’ and become one of their on-stage sidekicks in a world of funny sounds, brilliant noises and cool music, whether you’re aged 1 or 101.
A Guinness World Record breaker, SK Shlomo gave up astrophysics to perform their amazing vocal pyrotechnics. It was a good move. Since then SK Shlomo has won global acclaim and worked with some of the biggest names in music including Bjork, Damon Albarn, Ed Sheeran, Basement Jaxx and Lily Allen.
In the process they have continually pushed the boundaries of beatboxing, bringing the art form to new and unexpected audiences.
Raised on a strict childhood diet of orchestral percussion and jazz drums, SK Shlomo instinctively began making vocal music as a small child. They first found critical acclaim as a beatboxer aged 18, when they began touring with the award winning multinational hip hop group Foreign Beggars, and was named the “Harry Potter of beatboxing” by BBC Radio 1’s Tim Westwood.

Shlomo had the audience eating out of his hand from the start. A naturally gifted teacher, Shlomo wanted to show the next generation how to beatbox and they loved him for it.
Shlomo ended this joyous hour with a demonstration of where these simple techniques can lead and brought the house down in wonder at the impossible sounds coming from this man’s mouth. This is a guy at the very top of his game and he has to be seen — or heard — to be believed!
Listening to the buzz from the children outside after the show, they clearly had a wonderful time. They excitedly queued up to meet Shlomo and high-five their hero. Throughout, it was clear that the parents were having just as good a time as their kids — maybe even better.
