Beatboxer Bio
"Jason Tom is a walking, talking instrument; an energetic combination of drums, snare, vocals and synthesizer, all replicated using his voice." -Tracy Chan (Metromix Honolulu)
Hawaii's premier human beatbox Jason Tom has opened for national acts Jake Shimabukuro, Michael Winslow, Blue Scholars, Quest Crew and the Jabbawockeez and have been beatboxing for fun on audio cassette tapes since the age of four to Michael Jackson's "Bad" song. He has been perpetuating the beatboxing art, the 5th element of hip hop, since 2004 through performances, collaborations, beatbox battles, workshops, classes and is known to fuse it with dance.
He has collaborated live with notable acts Jake Shimabukuro, Kamuela Kahoano, PIMPBOT, Kealoha (HawaiiSlam), Makana, Taimane Gardner, Bruce Shimabukuro, Sheila Marie, Skillroy (Rock Steady Crew), Hawaiian Ryan, Willow Chang, Anasma (of Paris), Missing Dave, Kings of Spade, and more. He is the founder of the Human Beatbox Academy and is a co-founder of the ArtSmith. He has been on tour with Music
With A Message and the American Lung Association since 2009.
Jason, influenced by the legendary song and dance men Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Michael Jackson, dazzled audiences with his beatbox rendition of Billie Jean by fusing the moonwalk popping dance and the art of vocal percussion known as beatboxing. He is also known for his creativity with his teaching, showmanship and vocal performance ability with music genres of dance, dubstep, house, heavy metal, rock, reggaeton, drum and bass, improvisation, and more to uplift others.
Jason is the "Best Solo Performer" award recipient of the 2011 Scene Choice. He is a "Musician
Deserving of a Wider Audience" in the Best of Honolulu Weekly 2009 issue voted by its readers. Jason presented "Vocal Groove" ,video launched on November 21st, 2011, at TEDxHonolulu 2011, with his beatbox blend of Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train and collaboration with surprise guest popper Philosophy, which landed on the front page of HumanBeatbox.com. Interviewed by Angela Keen, his quote "successful people fail more" resonated with conference attendees of TEDxHonolulu 2009 and is what he lives by through faith in Christ Jesus and perseverance.
In 2010, Jason launched his "On The Beat" shirt with an R. Crumb 1970's "Keep On Truckin" feel customarily hand illustrated by artist JKS, perpetuating an optimistic and persevering message of following through life with passion, creativity, ideas, hopes, vision, and dreams. His video dubbed "Jason Tom From Hawaii" ranked number one on the BEATBOX BATTLE network. Jason took first place in the November and December 2011 First Thursdays Poetry Slam and advanced to the 2012 First Thursdays
Grand Slam Finals hosted by Hawaii Slam.
Traveling coast to coast he performed at the 2011 Estria Invitational Graffiti Battle Finals in Oakland, California and the 2010 International Human Beatbox Convention in Brooklyn, New York. Jason is also featured beatboxing on Faioso's "I'm Movin' On" track in the 2010 Na Hoku Hanohano (Hawaii's
Grammy Awards) "Best Hip-Hop/R&B" award nominated album "Nobody Owns
Me."

Hawaii Beat Box History
Hawaii hip hop culture have pioneers in the art of writing (aerosol art), deejaying, b-boying/b-girling (break dancing), and emceeing. And Hawaii also had beatboxers in the early 1980's influenced by beatboxers Darren Robinson also known as Buffy (R.I.P) of the Fat Boys, Doug E. Fresh (who later influenced the Dougie dance), Biz Markie, the Godfather of Noyze Rahzel and the Human Orchestra Kenny Muhammad. There were Hawaii beatboxers who would perform at Hawaii hip hop jams and events, but the presence of Hawaii beatboxers remained unknown to most on the Hawaiian islands.
In 2004, beatboxer Jason Tom came into the performance scene, influenced by Bay Area California's Asian American beatboxer Elaine Chao after he caught her 2003 television appearance on the Showtime At the Apollo, and then he felt inspired with a vision of perpetuating the art, the fifth element of hip-hop and culture of beatboxing throughout the Hawaiian islands. He started with Oahu and helped to put Hawaii on the map with beatboxing on Kauai, Inner Mongolia, China, Beijing, Shanghai, Zhongshan, Guangdong, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Nyack, and New York City, etc.
In 2006, Jason began teaching beatboxing to the Honolulu youth and communities throughout the Hawaiian islands at Hawaii's public and private schools, community events and more. Then he began facilitating weekly human beatbox workshops at the Diverse Art Center and worked with teenagers, college students, professionals and working adults. Most recently Jason founded the Human Beatbox Academy with a weekly beatboxing class curriculum at the ArtSmith. Students of the Human Beatbox Academy have ranged from ages 4 to 40 something years old reaching out to the youth and community. He has also performed at many venues, entered various competitions, poetry slams and events throughout the island of Oahu and have influenced many of the youth to pick up or start beatboxing in finding his or her own unique voice. "Beat" is the rhythm, "box" is our "voice" of the vocal box or voice box, vocal percussion.
