Human Beatboxer: Jason Tom

by Maimounah Masudi
Hawaii is known as one of the most beautiful places on earth. I dream of going there one day to walk its beaches and experience the wonderful culture. Hawaii is more than surfing, bright floral shorts, spam musubi, hula dancing, and ukuleles. There is a music culture in Hawaii that is pioneered by hot and vibrant artists that for the most part don't reach the ears of those on the mainland. I recently did an interview with one of Hawaii's awesome music artists, human beatboxer Jason Tom. He has performed... (more...)

What is, what is?

clear, salty,
fits in one eye and weighs a ton
It has the taste of sea
may be mild.
Tenant of pain,
home favorite.
In the dead she comes,
hostage's revenge
sister of despair,
rival of hope.
It can be caused by worms and mundane
or by the thorn of the flower,
cruel you love.
Fond of drama,
come to my bed
intentionally, without asking me made me suffer.
And I think myself strong,
and I felt that,
I will be weak when other of them come.
If cheap is crazy and the process is slow,
at the moment
let me walk against the wind.
What will it be tough and I heart being vulnerable?
The wind did not, he is mild, but cold and ruthless.
(And Hot) inked a letter of the sad poet.
(Only) She ran in the brown face of the prophet.
Worm out of line,
tears of a man will fall,
This is your B.O. for eternity.
He says that men do not cry,
okay, spoke
or go to the sister group there,
Jesus wept ...

There is one person, and only one can make you happy.

If you want to meet them, get in front of the mirror and say Hello!

In the mirror you see the person responsible for his fate.

You are heir of himself.

His acts are his.

And your happiness is waiting for your decision.

Think about it!

"The winds that sometimes take something they love, they are bringing something that we learn to love;
So we should not therefore been taken from us and yes, learn to love what is given us;
For all that is really ours, never gone forever. "(Bob Marley)

Do not expect a smile to be nice.
Do not expect to be loved, to love.
Do not expect to be alone, to recognize the value of who is on your side.
Do not expect to be in mourning, to recognize who is now in your life.
Do not expect the best job to start working.
Do not expect to fall, to remember the advice.
Do not expect the disease to realize how fragile life is.
Do not expect perfect people, and then fall in love.
Do not expect the hurt to ask for forgiveness.
Do not expect the separation to seek reconciliation.
Do not expect praise, to believe in yourself.
Do not expect others to take the initiative, if you were the culprit.
Do not wait for I love you to tell me too.
Do not expect the day of his death, to start loving life.
Love life ...
I learned that those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular!
A big HUGS ...

Born and raised in the art district of Honolulu's Chinatown, beatboxer Jason Tom, a fourth-generation Hawaiian Chinese American, has opened for Michael Winslow, Quest Crew and the Jabbawockeez and have been beatboxing for fun on audio cassette tapes since the age of four to Michael Jackson's "Bad" song. He is the founder of the Human Beatbox Academy and is a co-founder of the ArtSmith. Growing up with asthma, he has been on tour with Music With A Message and the American Lung Association of Hawaii since 2009.

Jason, influenced by the legendary song and dance men Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Michael Jackson, first became known in Hawaii for dazzling Hawaii audiences with his beatbox rendition of Billie Jean by fusing the moonwalk popping dance and the art of vocal percussion known as beatboxing.

Jason is the "Best Solo Performer" award recipient of the 2011 Hawaii Scene Choice. He is a "Musician Deserving of a Wider Audience" in the Best of Honolulu Weekly 2009 issue voted by its readers. Jason is one of the first beatboxers, if not the first beatboxer, in the world to have performed for a TEDx conference and is the first entertainer to have performed for two TEDxHonolulu conferences have shared ideas worth spreading. He presented "Vocal Groove" at TEDxHonolulu 2011, with his beatbox blend of Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train and collaboration with surprise guest popper Philosophy. His quote "successful people fail more" resonated with conference attendees of TEDxHonolulu 2009 and is what he lives by through faith in Christ and perseverance.

In 2010, Jason launched his "On The Beat" fashion shirt line with an R. Crumb 1970's "Keep On Truckin" cartoon feel customarily hand drawn by Hawaii artist JKS, perpetuating an optimistic and persevering message of following through life with passion, creativity, ideas, hopes, visions, and dreams. His video dubbed "Jason Tom From Hawaii" ranked number one on the BEATBOX BATTLE TV network. Jason won first place in the November 2011 First Thursdays Poetry Slam competition advancing him into the 2012 First Thursdays Grand Slam Finals hosted by Hawaii Slam. Few nights after that he competed in the Road to Austin Battle on Oahu having earned his place to perform at Austin events during the 2012 SXSW Festival (100,000+ attendance).

Traveling coast to coast he performed at the 2011 Estria Invitational Graffiti Battle Finals in Oakland, California and the 2010 International Human Beatbox Convention in Brooklyn, New York. Jason is also featured beatboxing on Faioso's "I'm Movin' On" track in the 2010 Na Hoku Hanohano (Hawaii's Grammy Awards) "Best Hip-Hop/R&B" award nominated album "Nobody Owns Me."
