Credited by the BBC as ‘King of Sound, Ruler of Beats’, Beardyman is an award winning musician, a digital superstar, one of the world’s best beatboxers, a multi-instrumentalist, a groundbreaking live looping pioneer and a musical comedic talent championed by the likes of Tim Minchin and Jack Black.
Beardyman’s rise to success began with him winning the UK Beatbox Championships in 2006 and 2007 and his iconic one take wonder ‘Kitchen Diaries’. In 2008 he became a judge as not enough beatboxers were prepared to compete with him. Creatively shackled by technology vs. his vast musical ideas, he developed the world’s most advanced live music production system, known at the ‘BEARDYTRON’, allowing him to improvise studio quality, cutting edge dance music in real time. He unveiled the ‘BEARDYTRON’ at the annual global TED conference to a standing ovation.
He is a festival favourite, having toured the world consistently for over a decade from headlining main stages of boutique festivals through to main stage and big top performances ranging from Bestival to Coachella, Glastonbury to Fuji Rocks and everything between. YouTube consider him a legacy hero having been heavily involved since the channel began and being the only artist to feature on all of their global festivals to date and the only UK artist to be invited to perform on their YouTube Comedy Week alongside Seth Rogan, Sarah Silverman, Skrillex and his dear friend and collaborator, Reggie Watts.
In 2019 Beardyman released ‘6am (Ready to Write)’ featuring Joe Rogan on Sony/RCA and won the UK Music Video Award for ‘Best Dance Music’ video, beating The Chemical Brothers, Camelphat, Prospa and more and was shortlisted for ‘Best Video of 2019’.
