"It's not every guy who gets mistaken for a boombox. Jason Tom, one of Hawaii's most visible beatboxers, is a walking, talking instrument; an energetic combination of drums, snare, vocals and synthesizer, all replicated using his voice."
Jason "Spider-Man" Tom, Hawaii's Human Beatbox Dancing Machine, is a co-founding crew member of Hawaii's Human Beatbox Academy, Hawaii Scene Choice Awards' Best Solo Human Beatbox Performer, and an American ambassador of the fifth element of hip hop urban culture called "human beatbox." He is recipient of the McKinley Tigers' Mr. Hustle Soccer Award, and is a former judo champion at San Jose State University and the City College of San Francisco.
