Kapi‘olani Community College Alumnus Profile - Jason Tom
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.

Kodak moment with Jason Tom beatboxing for Uplift & Renew at Ala Moana Centerstage!
"Watched Hawaii's Human Beatbox Jason Tom perform on Saturday along with the Uplift Dancers from First Assembly Of God and I was blown away by Jason's performance. If you've only seen him beatbox on video and not live on stage you wouldn't know how much of a difference it makes in how it sounds live. There's no comparison, the audio on video doesn't even come close to how it really sounds. Auuuuuright!" -Nathan Izumi

The Lord promised me that what the devil has stolen from me must return more than one-hundred-thousand fold. The devil attempted to take my life multiple occasions, relentlessly tormented me and failed. How? Jesus supernaturally and relentlessly stepped in and said, "no more satan! Get your hands off my child and do not return!" I am unashamed that Jesus Christ is my redeemer. This first Men of Conquest Encounter venue at the Emalani Ballroom of the Hawaii Convention Center is the same venue I performed at for the first TEDx Honolulu Shift Conference.
