beatboxer out of Los Angeles, CA and currently resides in Seattle,
WA. He began his beatbox journey in 2001 and since then has won beatbox
competitions around the nation. Beatbox Panda holds championship titles in Los
Angeles, and recently became Seattle’s 2019 Beatbox Champion. He travels around
the USA performing at various schools and colleges, while spreading a positive
message about beatboxing. He has performed at historic venues such as: The
Roxy, The Coliseum, The Bourbon Room, The Redcat Theater, The Broad, The
Whiskey, Troubadour, Greystone Manor, and others. He collaborated with
America’s Best Dance Crew’s The Beat Freaks at The World of Dance Awards hosted
by Paul Mitchell in Los Angeles, private events with Pretty Little Thing,
Insignia, Amazon, Cisco Systems, SEMA Las Vegas, Long Beach Toyota Grand Prix,
Long Beach Formula-e, Netflix, and more. </p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">He was also featured on 3 Buzzfeed videos which
generated 25 million views collectively. The Beatbox Panda has also performed
with celebrity artists such as: Snoop Dogg, Pentatonix, Matisyahu, Marshmello,
Childish Gambino, Diplo, Big Sean, Sublime with Rome, XZIBIT, Beatbox pioneer-
Rahzel, and legendary hip hop artist, KRS-one. From Rock and Roll to EDM and
from Jazz to trap music, you will hear familiar songs personalized by his own
style- all done with just his voice!</span> </p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Beatbox Panda has taken the time to master the art,
able to recreate full songs, with accompaniment by himself without
instrumentation, able to sing a chorus and provide a backing beat
simultaneously, able to invoke impressions of singers on a whim. He takes his
beatboxing beyond the traditional hip-hop influences into a much wider range of
contemporary styles. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

Tickets for our Wine & Song Benefit are selling on EventBrite<p><span style="font-size: medium;">From the onset of <i>Classical Tuesdays in Old Town</i>, some 18 years ago, we have enjoyed celebrating our talented musicians here in the Northwest. Over these years we have enjoyed several events featuring composers from Tacoma and the region.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">On November 8th, we will perform works of several musicians active as performers and composers in the Puget Sound region: Jerry Kracht, Elise Winkler, Sheila Bristow, Kathryn Smith Derksen, Melia Watras, and Rob Hutchinson. The compositions will feature flute, clarinet and bass clarinet, mezzo soprano, guitar, violin, and harp, all performed by Tacoma instrumentalists. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
