SK Shlomo announces weekly beatboxing lessons for kids on lockdown
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 5 May 2020
Beatboxer SK Shlomo has announced a new online version of his popular ‘Beatbox Adventure For Kids’ show. Once a week, ‘Homeskool Beatbox Adventures’ will teach children and their families on lockdown how to make music with their mouths, as well as raising money for the NHS.
“It’s a show about believing in yourself”, he says. “Finding confidence in your own voice is extremely empowering. That’s even more important when so many of us are feeling disconnected – we don’t know how we can help the world. This project can bring people together, connect the world up and raise funds for the heroes on the frontline who we appreciate so much”.
The show will run at 2pm UK time every Thursday for six weeks, starting this week. Each episode will see him joined by a guest, with Bastille, KT Tunstall, Bill Bailey, Basement Jaxx, Jason Mraz and BBC Radio 1’s Dr Radha all signed up to take part.
Over the six weeks, children taking part will be involved in writing a new song, with 50 families each week joining Shlomo live on Zoom. Everyone else can tune in to livestreams on Facebook and YouTube. The beatboxer is also aiming to raise £2500 for NHS Charities Together with the show.
