Heatbox | Aaron "Heatbox" Heaton | TEDxPaloAlto HD

Beatboxing like you have never heard before! Heatbox is a one-man beatboxing sensation from Minnesota who has been singing since the age of ten. He describes his music as sounding like “a funky a’cappella group from outerspace.” He built a reputation for himself while performing with Twin Cities’ band Root City (voted Best Blues Band of the Twin Cities by the readers of City Pages in 2006), as well as a one man band, Heatbox (1st place at the 2007 “Yo! The Music” Minneapolis beatbox battle.) In addition to performing with Rhythmic Circus, Heatbox is constantly touring internationally with top acts, appearing at the most popular musical festivals in the world and opening for famous musicians such as Cee- Lo, Boyz II Men and George Clinton. This performance was part of TEDxPaloAlto Identity, held on April 2, 2017. For more information about TEDxPaloAlto please visit http://www.tedxpaloalto.com.
