Beatboxing with Michael W.

Hi there! I'm Michael a.k.a. Match, and I've been delivering high-energy beatbox performances for several years! I recently finished a seven-month stint in the beatbox and tap dance-infused show, Noiseboys (from the creators of Choir of Man) onboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest vessel, the Prima. I hold a B.A. in Music with a concentration in Vocal Performance from Delaware State University, and teach beatbox lessons to students of all ages, vocal percussion workshops with high school and college students, and have taught beatbox classes at A Cappella festivals across the world. In the past, I was a member of the Baltimore-based A Cappella ensemble, ember. With ember, I took first place in the Mid-Atlantic Semifinal at the 2018 Varsity Vocals A Cappella Open, as well as Outstanding Vocal Percussion, and competed in The Open finals at Carnegie Hall in NYC. I'm no stranger to the competitive beatbox scene either! I've been top 16 in the USA and remain a top contender in the country as well as on the international stage, and have picked up multiple top 4 placements among major international competitors including national champions from France, Canada, Austria, and more!
