Australian beatboxer wows TEDx audience

Move over Michael Winslow, the world of beatboxing has a new king and his name is Tom Thum.

Thum is an Australian performer who, according to the Guardian UK, “appears to have swallowed an entire orchestra and several backing singers.”

What’s truly impressive is that he lives up to the hype.

At a recent performance at the Sydney Opera House during the TEDxSydney conference, Thum goes from dropping beats, to covering Michael Jackson’s Billy Jean, to delivering one of the most mesmerizing solo jazz performances.

And he does it all mostly with just his mouth and a microphone.

Watch his performance at TEDxSydney in the video below.
