Battersea Arts Centre prides its self on encouraging creativity and inventiveness, an example of this over the years has been the centre’s collaboration with various innovative performers.
None more so than Shlomo, the internationally acclaimed beat-boxer, Guinness World Record holder and World Loopstation Champion, who has toured the world with the likes of Icelandic singer-songwriter Björk and Blur's Damon Albarn.
In 2008 Shlomo and BAC set up the hugely successful Beatbox Academy, where young people aged 12 to 21 can hone their beatboxing skills and learn to make jaw-dropping music with nothing but their mouths.
Bjork’s all vocal song ‘Oceania’ which featured Shlomo was performed at the 2004 Athens Olympic opening ceremony and was heard by an estimated 3.9 billion people making Shlomo the most heard beat-boxer in history.
Although most would not have known that the all the percussion sounds in the song were his vocals.
