Stevie Soul is an award-winning beatboxer, vocalist, and multimedia artist from Detroit. As a child, Stevie stuttered. When he tried to speak, funny sounds came out of his mouth. He’d always get caught on the first letter of words and struggled to push out the “right” phrase. Eventually, he embraced these funny sounds and converted them into beats and patterns, helping him learn sentence structure, rhythm, and music composition. Once he found his internal rhythm, these sounds became Stevie’s unique form of self-expression, exchanging his childhood struggle for his true talent - beatboxing.
Today, Soul wows audiences with his ability to uncannily recreate the sounds of numerous instruments, such as drums, trumpets, and guitars, using only his mouth, body, and looper. A high-energy performer, Stevie is available for festivals, as well as corporate, holiday, public, and private events.
Regardless of venue, he is well known for his fun and vibrant family-friendly shows. His sets incorporate hip-hip/R&B, contemporary, and classic theme music and mashups, along with live beatboxing and audience participation. Stevie is available to collaborate with a wide variety of artists, bands, and Dj's and will make an unforgettable addition to your next event.
