He appeared on the game show Jeopardy![6] on November 6th & 9th, 2020, winning $21,600.
Techniques[edit]
Kid Beyond's performances often include some traditional beatboxing as well as live looping. The looped pieces make heavy use of Ableton's Live software on a laptop to layer and loop vocal and vocal percussion tracks together to create full songs. Prior to concerts, the software is configured with the tracks that will be used in each piece, including any necessary effects and levels, but lacking any audio. A set of MIDI controller foot pedals allow Kid Beyond to control the software during performance, enabling him to record, play, and manipulate the audio tracks with a set of predefined macros. In some cases, a single press of a pedal performs multiple actions, such as muting one track while initializing recording on another.[7]
In recognition of his innovative techniques, Ableton made him a featured artist[8] on their website and presented him at a series of clinics in Germany.[9] The associated footage[10] was shown on a number of viral video sites.
