BEARDYMAN [ www.myspace.com ] [ www.beardyman.co.uk ] [ en.wikipedia.org ] The overwhelmingly talented Darren Foreman is Beardyman. UK BEATBOX CHAMPION… Beardyman career began by smashing up the standard for beatboxing, becoming the heavyweight UK champion, ticking the WIN box twice for title of UK Beatboxer back to back in 2006/07. In 2008 he was the judge. LIVE MUSIC PRODUCTION… But Beatboxing has its musical limits so Beardyman went a step further to inject it full of knife‐edge music technology. Using up to 4 Korg Kaoss Pad IIIs and state of the art looping technology enables him to improvise live on stage to create tracks that that may take weeks in the studio, using the very vanguard of Live Music Production to build sonic soundscapes; a pistol duel at dawn with the capabilities of top DJs. Like some sort of musical Victor Frankenstein, on stage he works the sonic vernacular into mind‐expanding mashups using the sole instrument of his voice. His diversity and ability to musically evolve makes his skills truly exciting, probably the reason guru Rob Da Bank calls him “literally the most entertaining live human being I’ve seen in donkey’s years”. NEW MODEL ARTIST… Casting off the traditional shackles of the music industry, and using the very apex of cutting edge technology in his performances and marketing, Beardyman is a revolutionary in the media platforms he uses and is at the forefront of a new movement that is redefining the silhouette of what a musical act should be in the digital world of Web 2.0 and 3.0. Without a record deal he has played to hundreds of thousands of fans and gained a database of over 50,000 online subscribers across his interactive fan sites. YOUTUBE SUPERSTAR… Beardyman is widely known for being a YouTube “Star”, famed for his comedic and jaw‐dropping virals beginning with Kitchen Diaries which has garnered over 5 MILLION views. Kitchen Diaries: [ www.youtube.com ] In the truest sense of the word viral, the talents of Beardyman have pervaded every last corner of the globe, gaining tens of millions of viewers, surfing into homes on the most prolific medium of the 21st century. In November 2008 Beardyman was beamed LIVE into your computer as a main headliner on the first ever streamed concert, YouTube Live, becoming a supernova of the world wide web and personal hero of the entire Google empire (owners of the earth). Google offices: [ www.youtube.com ] Pre Youtube Live and since, Beardyman has been personally invited several times to headline Google‘s international Zeitgeist, climate and internal development conferences. FESTIVAL HEADLINER… On stage Beardyman has been playfully twisting the brains of ravers the world over with his unique brand of beatboxing‐technological‐mash‐ups, leading them on sonic adventures with their addled minds. He’s graced the famed mainstages of Lovebox, Rise, Sonar by Night, Turning Point (the Roundhouse), Bestival, Snowbombing and many more, giving incredible performances that embraced the musical variety of the festival scene, memorably opening Glastonbury 2009 with a set in the Dance Village that was the flagstone for a sensational festival. His eye for talent has led him to join forces with artists of fearsome calibre, such as Fatboy Slim, Imogen Heap, Reggie Watts, Groove Armada, proving his dexterity as an artist. In November 2009 he made world history by performing and improvised show with a full sized orchestra in his collaboration with The Heritage Orchestra; sharing conducting duties with Jules Buckley, Beardyman used the sections of the orchestra as he would use his loopstation building full‐scale improvised tunage from Dubstep to Disco, House to Drum and Bass. COMEDY TIMING… Central to all Beardyman performances is a playful sense of humour. Well aware that his incredible career is based on his ability to “tune a raspberry”, Beardyman is able to make fun of himself and the audience with a natural comedic ability, leading to standing ovations at sell‐out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe festival 2009, both with his own shows in the Udderbelly, Underbelly and at the Time Out comedy revue ‘For One Night Only’, as well as the Udderbelly on London’s South Bank proving an ability to cross over genres. In July 2010 Beardyman will be debuting at Montreal Comedy Festival: ‘Just For Laughs’. BATTLEJAM… Bringing it all home is Battlejam, Beardyman’s world‐renowned underground club night, which sees unprecedented quantities of ravers flock in unprecedented droves to clubs in London and Brighton, the respective hometowns of Beardyman and turntable mentalist and 2008 DMC Champion JFB. Battlejam is famous for its crowd interaction and quirky collaborations, between freestyle MCs, DJs and musicians. Ready to smash your expectations all over again, Beardyman is getting into the studio to record the stuff in his mind, and outside of the constraints of looping, the outcome should be intergalactic. The next step for Beardyman could well be one giant leap for mankind...
