Beardyman won the UK Beatbox Championships in 2006 and 2007, gaining a reputation for his quick wit and virtuosic vocal skills.

His performances are renowned for their genre-defying range, spanning drum and bass, hip hop, reggae, techno, jazz, and beyond. Beardyman’s discography includes acclaimed albums such as *I Done a Album* (2011) and *Distractions* (2014), which showcase his fusion of clever lyricism, live instrumentation, and electronic production.

He has toured internationally and performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, Bestival, and Coachella, as well as making numerous television and radio appearances. Beyond performance, Beardyman is known for his engaging use of humor and improvisation, frequently creating songs based on audience suggestions. His TEDx and Google talks have highlighted his creative process and the evolving relationship between music and technology.

A dynamic force in contemporary music, Beardyman continues to push boundaries, inspiring both audiences and a new generation of vocal artists.
