Jake Moulton

Born in Seattle, Washington, Jake Moulton has been performing professionally for almost 20 years. Mimicking the sounds of a drum kit, as well as utilizing the more organic sounds inherent in beatboxing, Jake has created a style all his own; a driving, technical style that makes his work with vocal groups, bands, and as a soloist powerful and successful. His strong musical ear allows for strength in both beatboxing and in his re-creation of many instrumental sounds, including the guitar, trumpet, flute, harmonica and turntables.As a founding member of the rock a cappella band Kickshaw and later as member of the world-renowned pop/jazz vocal group m-pact, Jake has performed at countless jazz and music festivals worldwide. Over the years, he has shared the stage with many of the music industry’s greatest talents, including Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Hudson, Herbie Hancock, Sheryll Crow, Boys II Men, Kenny G, Heart’s Ann Wilson, and the New York Voices, just to name a few.Currently, Jake is the beatboxer for the original rock band without instruments, The House Jacks. He is also a member of the critically acclaimed Hollywood Film Chorale Sound Effects Choir, featured at the 2007 Academy Awards and in several commercials for the 2007 NBA Finals. When he’s not performing, however, Jake focuses much of his energy toward songwriting, music production, commercial sound effects, and both group and individual instruction.Jake’s versatile talents as both a writer and performer are featured on several albums, including Kickshaw’s “Superstar”, m-pact’s 2006 self-titled release, and multiple nationally distributed compilations, as well as in feature films, syndicated radio, television programs and commercials.

The above beatbox samples (save the two songs) are just LIVE, UNEDITED samples. I know they get sloppy at times. YOU make shit up on the spot, record it, DON'T edit it and see what you get. Shit.Hopefully soon to follow will be examples of produced beatbox tracks. Thanks for listening!
