2005 Radio 1 Beatbox Champion 2007 Channel 4Talent Award Winner Not only is THePETEBOX one of the world's finest human beatboxers, he has spent the past year crafting a whole new approach to using his beatbox skills to create music. His live show is more that of a full bands and sees him creating fully crafted songs as well as demonstrating his world class beatbox skills. Creating each layer of his tracks live using a loop pedal THePETEBOX's shows lead the audience through a journey of real time music production which builds up and delivers a full frequency spectrum of sound, from deep bass, to high pitched trumpets, to multiple vocal harmonies - all made with his mouth! 2008 has seen THePETEBOX tour his cutting edge show around France, Norway, Czech Republic, UK and at some of the worlds biggest festivals such as Glastonbuy, Creamfields, V Festival and Bestival.
