Who is Kid Beyond?

Singer. Beatboxer. Live looper. Songwriter. One-man band.

Looping and multitracking his voice live onstage to create his own backing tracks, Kid Beyond layers his soulful, spiritual lyrics over his own beatboxing and vocal instrumentation - creating an evocative, infectiously funky brew of hip-hop/techno-flavored alt-pop.

A "fiercely charismatic… truly mesmerizing" performer, armed with a powerful rock-soul singing voice and the jaw-dropping skills that earned him the title "San Francisco's Best Beatboxer," Kid Beyond has rocked huge warehouse parties and tight poetry slams, jam-packed funk clubs and sprawling festivals.

Kid B has shared the stage with James Brown, Ray Charles, LL Cool J, Spearhead, the Neville Brothers, Crosby Stills & Nash, Run-DMC, KRS-One, Blackalicious, and even President Bill Clinton. He has brought the house down at Carnegie Hall, at Bangkok's hottest club Song Slueng, and on FOX-TV's "30 Seconds to Fame."

This one time, at Jazz Camp...
I'm off to the woods to teach at Jazz Camp West. I'll be out of the woods on Saturday, July 2 -- and right off to LA to perform at Green Sector's Greendependance Day forest freakout. See you in the LA woods!

Big-ups to ATX
I wanna thank all the Tribesters in SF, Austin (Burning Flipside!)and elsewhere who got the word out for my show at Antone's. 314 people showed up, and boy did we all make a ruckus. (My Austin debut in March drew 110 people; at this growth rate, after 10 more shows in Austin, I will be playing to a crowd of approximately 32,198,544 people.) Once again, you guys rock.

The Alternate Reality Society
November 2007 246 Originally uploaded by Avant Game. Kiyash and I spent Friday night alternate reality gaming in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco. Along with our co-conspirators and ad hoc teammates -- Kid Beyond, Kristian, Robin , and Cate -- we dedicated the entire evening to completing a custom-designed itinerary of SF0 missions. SF0 is my favorite game these days, besides Werewolf. I call it the world's first Alternate Reality Society -- we're talking about a 24/7, 365 real-wor

Pre-Halloween catchup
Pre-Halloween catchup Dear Blog, So this year, I'm doing much less than I normally would in the ways of typical Halloween activities. My costume this year consisted of a cool t-shirt and some "bitchin'" sunglasses. Yeah, I slicked my hair back, wore my red t-shirt that says "People Know Me" and added the fierce Miami Vice-esque shades. I was Bitchin'! Saturday, we went out to this awesome place called The Bubble Lounge. Naturally, it specializes in champagnes and sparkling wines. They have

Kid Beyond in San Francisco
Ok. F*@king awesome: Kid Beyond covers Portishead but with the added fun of live looping his beat boxing.

I was standing on a corner in Phoenix, Arizona
Notes from my weekend junket to the Valley of the Sun with my chorus, Voices in Harmony:My first observation about Phoenix, from the air approaching Sky Harbor International Airport: Brown. Everything is brown. The land is brown. The buildings are mostly brown. Would it be too much to ask to broaden the color palette just a touch? High marks for the Wyndham Phoenix Hotel. My 18th-floor room was nicely laid out and well appointed. I especially liked the bathroom, with its separated vanity and to
