Biography

Beardyman has an astounding talent for producing the sounds and rhythms of entire musical tracks using only his mouth and a mic. The champion beatboxer combines live looping (including video), vocal gymnastics, a quick wit and ready audience participation to bring any house down.

After writing a symphony at the age of ten, the young Darren (before he became Beardyman) grew obsessed with technology. This eventually led to the creation of the BEARDYTRON, a production system allowing him to improvise studio quality dance music in real time. He revealed it at a global TED conference to a standing ovation.

Since then his career has encompassed live shows with Groove Armada and Tim Minchin, collaborations with Blondie, Jack Black and Fatboy Slim, and guest appearances with Oprah and Ellen Degeneres. Beardyman is also a festival favourite from Glastonbury to Fuji Rocks and almost everything between; he’s the only artist to feature on every global YouTube festival since the channel began, clocking up 60 million views.

Beardyman has been seen and heard on shows from The Comedy Proms and Lily Allen & Friends to Radio 3. He has also recorded ads for PlayStation and Sky TV, and presented Radio 4’s Beardyman and the Mimics - exploring the natural world’s inclination to copy the sounds around it.

Agent Recommendation

Beardyman isn’t just possessed of a rare skill, he’s a truly versatile performer. He can silence a room in awe, have them tap their feet and stand to applaud all within five minutes. I've watched him evolve from gifted beatboxer into a headline star – embracing comedy and unbelievable vocal gymnastics.

Client Feedback

❝ Beardyman was great. He turned up right on time, rehearsed and literally just ran with the show, creating a brilliant atmosphere. The audience identified with him straight away and loved the energy he delivered. He read the audience really well and managed to get them really buzzing. ❞

Grass Roots Group

❝ All round a great show opener. Having been slightly concerned Beardyman might be lost on our middle aged, male audience, he caused quite a sensation. One sponsor summed it up best as "Undoubtedly though, my highlight of the evening was the appearance of Beardyman. When I told my kids, they were beside themselves!” ❞

UBM

❝ Beardyman was a fun, entertaining finish to the event which linked in with the overall theme and brought the event to a successful conclusion. The audience were (in order) interested, confused, enlightened, amused, entertained. ❞
