Hawai‘i’s Human Beatbox

Most people have heard of beatboxing—a form of vocal percussion that uses the mouth and voice to create sounds and rhythms similar to percussion instruments. But for Kapi‘olani Community College alumnus Jason Tom (AA ’07), beatboxing is much more than that. Now known as Hawai‘i’s Human Beatbox, he’s using beatboxing to uplift and encourage others to perservere.

The University of Hawaii Foundation, a nonprofit organization, raises private funds to support the University of Hawaii System. Our mission is to unite our donor's passions with the University of Hawaii's aspirations to benefit the people of Hawaii and beyond. We do this by raising private philanthropic support, managing private investments and nurturing donor and alumni relationships.

Jason, Your journey is both inspiring and intresting. I love that you found your purpose during your journey. Not everyone does and it's encouraging for those searching for their purpose. Thank you for always inspiring others especially our youth. ?☝???

I still remember the day we were at Barnes and Noble and I saw you at the gift wrapping station. I said, "Hi Jason Tom." Then the old lady said, "You know him?" Then I said, "Yeah. He is famous!"
