Band Members: Originally born in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, Randy "EXZAM" Hollick moved to Calgary Alberta when he was 3 years old. Making assorted sounds has always been in his element. Known as a class clown growing up, making absurd noises, some amusing, some just flat out annoying, he went through his teen years seen leaving many classrooms after mimicking various sounds and voices.
After being inspired by Rahzel, "The Godfather of Noyze" to start Beatboxing at the age of 15, this cat has since become known as one of the best Canadian Beatboxers. After doing a short performance (opening skit) with Rahzel in 2002 at "The Palace" night club in Calgary, it has since sparked shows over the years for Hollick, opening up for various artists including Shawn Desman, Don Carlito,The Rascalz, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Baby Yu and not to mention countless local and nationally known rappers and DJ's. He has been spotted emceeing numerous night clubs in the Calgary area: "Coyotes", "Heavens", "My Apartment", "Cowboys", "The Bungalow", "Mercury" and "Amsterdam Rhino" to name a few. When not doing live performances, you can catch him recording a commercial or two when needed for companies and radio stations such as Shaw Cable and or BIG 103 (SAIT campus Radio). EXZAM has also been featured on CBC Radio One. He does what he can to put Calgary hip-hop on the map, even though his crew, Word of Mouth is based out of Toronto Ontario. The mission is simple: Kill the mic; elevate the crowd. Creating sounds and working on rhythms daily, this 23 year old phenom has been @ the Beatbox since 2000. Looking to make it big one day on an international scale, EXZAM continues to pursue his dream of amusing the ears of thousands around the world...
