SECRET UPFRONT SERIES SHOW AT MISS LIBERTINE TONIGHT


Darren Foreman (b. 14 May 1982) alias BeardyMan is a beatboxer from Brighton, East Sussex. He is currently the UK beatboxing champion.

Foreman moved to Brighton in 2001 to study at the University of Sussex. After seeing Rahzel play live, he started beatboxing at an improv show in 2002. He was given the nick-name “Beardyman” because at the time, he had a beard.

He has gigged and recorded with Klum-Z-Tung as part of MC/beatbox duo The Gobfathers. Together, they presented Get Lucky TV's 'The Freestyle Show” in 2005. He has worked alongside Grooverider, Shy FX, Killa Kela, Jazzy Jeff and Andy C to name a few. He battled to become UK Beatbox Champion 2006 and retained his title in 2007 making him the first beatboxer in UK history to win 2 championships in a row.[citation needed]

Beardyman often uses humour as well as beatboxing in his act. He has impersonated Elvis, dressed as a monkey on stage and once posed as an Austrian climate change lecturer before breaking into his set. Beardyman also features in the Funky Sage ringtones in which he plays a floating head who beatboxes and gives good advice. His video "Kitchen Diaries" which features him combining beatboxing with cooking has been viewed more than 2 million times on YouTube.

During November 2006 he took part in a series of children's choir charity concerts called Young Voices appearing in Manchester, Birmingham, London and Belfast.

On 10 February 2007 he made an appearance on the second episode of the BBC1 show When Will I Be Famous. Despite winning over the studio audience and two of the three judges, he came second in a public vote. On the same day, he was on also on the Channel 4 show Homemade where he was profiled as the weirdest beatboxer around.

Beardyman will be supporting Groove Armada on their UK tour in 2007.

Yep, unbelievable.

To all those who in the past have been scepticle about hard core beat boxing; "hes got a loop going behind him", "must be all pro tools", this guy is for real.

I was minding the sound for the show when he jumped up, and there was ONE microphone going into the mixer..... only one.

Beats, grimey bass, percussion, and vocals (really good vocals too) all at once out of one dudes head.
