&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny Muhammad&#039;&#039;&#039; (born December 3, 1968), also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;The Human Orchestra&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Dr Beatbender&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a beatboxer from Queens, New York.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kenny Muhammad home.JPG|thumb|Building of his home apartment (2-C) on 51-32 Beach Channel Drive|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad grew up in Far Rockaway, a peninsula south of John F. Kennedy International Airport, and lived in an apartment in one of &#039;&#039;The Edgemere Houses&#039;&#039;, which were later renamed into &#039;&#039;The Beach Channel Houses&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1973 to 1978 he attended &#039;&#039;P.S. 105 Bay School&#039;&#039; on 420 Beach Channel Drive 51st Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:JHS_180_(later_The_Scholars_Academy).JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039;, which was changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager he joined (when?) the local baseball club (name?), but gave it up in favor of his musical career.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1978 to 1981 he went to &#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039; on 320 Beach 104th Street, which was later changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:High School of Art and Design.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; in Manhattan|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1981 to 1984 (9th to 11th grade) he commuted to &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; on 245 East 56th Street in Manhattan, but for his last year (12th grade) he attended &#039;&#039;Beach Channel High School&#039;&#039; on 100-00 Beach Channel Drive, where he graduated in 1985.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Beach_Channel_High_School.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;Beach Channel High School&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A car accident that punctured his left lung left no permanent damage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Musical Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad started beatboxing in 1984 after hearing the song &amp;quot;Brrr Stick&#039;em&amp;quot; by the [[The Fat Boys]]. Their debut album came out on May 29, when he in his 11th grade at &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; in Manhattan. First he just immitated Buff&#039;s beatbox style, but soon he started developing his own beatbox technique and routines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time he also became friends with [[Ozzie]], which had a strong effect on both their styles. Before he met Ozzie at a contest at Beach Channel High School, he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood.&lt;br /&gt;
Eventhough they only had a short conversation at the venue, he found out his address and showed up at [[Ozzie]]&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and they exchanged their knowledge and their skills with each other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also performed together in shows and literally underground battles and in subway stations of Manhattan and on the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They often went to these battles right after high school to compete with other beatboxers from the Bronx and Harlem. Popular stations were &#039;&#039;59th Street Lexington&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Broadway-Nassau&#039;&#039; (renamed &#039;&#039;Fulton Street&#039;&#039; in 2011). According to Kenny Muhammad the police was not capable to control or prevent these events from happening as there were too many participants and these crowds could also move to other subway stations shortly.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Apollo Theater.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;Apollo Theater&#039;&#039; on 254 West 125th Street in Harlem|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1992 he performed as &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; at the &#039;&#039;[[Apollo Theater]]&#039;&#039; in Harlem and won the &#039;&#039;Amature Night&#039;&#039; contest on February 8.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/SpGP45s6VBI&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad appeared on NBC&#039;s &#039;&#039;The Tonight Show&#039;&#039; hosted by Jay Leno on ???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=37&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Kenny Muhammad was at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039; for an event in 1998, Carol Pobanz introduced him to her friend and composer [[David Eaton]], who was also the conductor of the New York Symphony. He came to his office in the &#039;&#039;New Yorker Hotel&#039;&#039;, which is located in the same building on 311 West 34th Street, and gave him a demonstration of his beatboxing skills. Eaton was so impressed that they immediately decided to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=89&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short clip of a rehearsal of the piece with Kenny Muhammad and Eaton could be seen in an episode of the TV serious &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman&#039;&#039; in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/qc6xriH6dZs?si=BdyXZhhJTKrzR1l5&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/yHgeDjIXJ3Y&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/l7R5BWBy5b4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/fW6devXUWNY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kenny Muhammad has never released an official album he had guest appearances. On the album &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; (1997) by [[DJ Skribble]] he can be heard on the track &amp;quot;The Battle&amp;quot;, in which two DJs and two beatboxers are having a (staged) competition. Here Kenny Muhammad and [[Rahzel]] take the chance to show their groundbreaking skills. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/of5jZA0c9Us?t=1654&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This track is a shortened version of the last (hidden) track &#039;&#039;Man vs. Machine&#039;&#039;, which was released two years later on Rahzel&#039;s Album &amp;quot;Make The Music 2000&amp;quot; (1999) inspiring a whole new generation of beatboxers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Rahzel]]&#039;s album contains all the &#039;four elements&#039; (earth, wind, fire, water), &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; has only &#039;two elements&#039; (fire and water).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/bN3B0giSwu4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His so-called &amp;quot;water-technique&amp;quot; covers the beat of [[James Brown]]&#039;s popular track &amp;quot;Funky drummer&amp;quot;. Whereas his so-called &amp;quot;wind-technique&amp;quot; makes use of [[Kraftwerk]]&#039;s beat of &amp;quot;Nummern&amp;quot; (engl. &amp;quot;Numbers&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among serious beatboxers both techniques are considered beatbox classics. The French beatboxer [[Polpo]] even made uncredited use of Kenny Muhammad&#039;s &amp;quot;wind-technique&amp;quot; in a video commercial for Vodafone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatboxing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad was the most influencial beatboxer popularizing the [[Ozzie Snare]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatbox Style ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As an adult Kenny Muhammad joined the &#039;&#039;Nation of Islam&#039;&#039; and attended the &#039;&#039;Muhammad Mosque No. 7&#039;&#039; in Harlem on 106-08 West 127th Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

From 1981 to 1984 (9th to 11th grade) he commuted to &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; on 245 East 56th Street in Manhattan, but for his last year (12th grade) he attended &#039;&#039;Beach Channel High School&#039;&#039; on 100-00 Beach Channel Drive, where he graduated in 1985.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Musical Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad started beatboxing in 1984 after hearing the song &amp;quot;Brrr Stick&#039;em&amp;quot; by the [[The Fat Boys]]. Their debut album came out on May 29, when he in his 11th grade at &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; in Manhattan. First he just immitated Buff&#039;s beatbox style, but soon he started developing his own beatbox technique and routines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time he also became friends with [[Ozzie]], which had a strong effect on both their styles. Before he met Ozzie at a contest at Beach Channel High School, he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood.&lt;br /&gt;
Eventhough they only had a short conversation at the venue, he found out his address and showed up at [[Ozzie]]&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and they exchanged their knowledge and their skills with each other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also performed together in shows and literally underground battles and in subway stations of Manhattan and on the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They often went to these battles right after high school to compete with other beatboxers from the Bronx and Harlem. Popular stations were &#039;&#039;59th Street Lexington&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Broadway-Nassau&#039;&#039; (renamed &#039;&#039;Fulton Street&#039;&#039; in 2011). According to Kenny Muhammad the police was not capable to control or prevent these events from happening as there were too many participants and these crowds could also move to other subway stations shortly.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Apollo Theater.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;Apollo Theater&#039;&#039; on 254 West 125th Street in Harlem|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1992 he performed as &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; at the &#039;&#039;[[Apollo Theater]]&#039;&#039; in Harlem and won the &#039;&#039;Amature Night&#039;&#039; contest on February 8.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad appeared on NBC&#039;s &#039;&#039;The Tonight Show&#039;&#039; hosted by Jay Leno on ???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=37&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Kenny Muhammad was at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039; for an event in 1998, Carol Pobanz introduced him to her friend and composer [[David Eaton]], who was also the conductor of the New York Symphony. He came to his office in the &#039;&#039;New Yorker Hotel&#039;&#039;, which is located in the same building on 311 West 34th Street, and gave him a demonstration of his beatboxing skills. Eaton was so impressed that they immediately decided to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=89&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short clip of a rehearsal of the piece with Kenny Muhammad and Eaton could be seen in an episode of the TV serious &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman&#039;&#039; in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/qc6xriH6dZs?si=BdyXZhhJTKrzR1l5&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/yHgeDjIXJ3Y&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/l7R5BWBy5b4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/fW6devXUWNY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kenny Muhammad has never released an official album he had guest appearances. On the album &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; (1997) by [[DJ Skribble]] he can be heard on the track &amp;quot;The Battle&amp;quot;, in which two DJs and two beatboxers are having a (staged) competition. Here Kenny Muhammad and [[Rahzel]] take the chance to show their groundbreaking skills. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/of5jZA0c9Us?t=1654&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This track is a shortened version of the last (hidden) track &#039;&#039;Man vs. Machine&#039;&#039;, which was released two years later on Rahzel&#039;s Album &amp;quot;Make The Music 2000&amp;quot; (1999) inspiring a whole new generation of beatboxers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Rahzel]]&#039;s album contains all the &#039;four elements&#039; (earth, wind, fire, water), &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; has only &#039;two elements&#039; (fire and water).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/bN3B0giSwu4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His so-called &amp;quot;water-technique&amp;quot; covers the beat of [[James Brown]]&#039;s popular track &amp;quot;Funky drummer&amp;quot;. Whereas his so-called &amp;quot;wind-technique&amp;quot; makes use of [[Kraftwerk]]&#039;s beat of &amp;quot;Nummern&amp;quot; (engl. &amp;quot;Numbers&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among serious beatboxers both techniques are considered beatbox classics. The French beatboxer [[Polpo]] even made uncredited use of Kenny Muhammad&#039;s &amp;quot;wind-technique in a video commercial for Vodafone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/eJ9ny60DeTA?si=xvRGwmzxWFgiBLXb&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatboxing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad was the most influencial beatboxer popularizing the [[Ozzie Snare]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatbox Style ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ozzie snare]], [[Kenny Shakers]], Kenny whirl(wind), vortex&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Later Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As an adult Kenny Muhammad joined the &#039;&#039;Nation of Islam&#039;&#039; and attended the &#039;&#039;Muhammad Mosque No. 7&#039;&#039; in Harlem on 106-08 West 127th Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2017 he moved to Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny Muhammad&#039;&#039;&#039; (born December 3, 1968), also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;The Human Orchestra&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Dr Beatbender&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a beatboxer from Queens, New York.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kenny Muhammad home.JPG|thumb|Building of his home apartment (2-C) on 51-32 Beach Channel Drive|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File: Public School 108 Bay School in Far Rockaway.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;P.S. 105 Bay School&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad grew up in Far Rockaway, a peninsula south of John F. Kennedy International Airport, and lived in an apartment in one of &#039;&#039;The Edgemere Houses&#039;&#039;, which were later renamed into &#039;&#039;The Beach Channel Houses&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1973 to 1978 he attended &#039;&#039;P.S. 105 Bay School&#039;&#039; on 420 Beach Channel Drive 51st Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:JHS_180_(later_The_Scholars_Academy).JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039;, which was changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager he joined (when?) the local baseball club (name?), but gave it up in favor of his musical career.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1978 to 1981 he went to &#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039; on 320 Beach 104th Street, which was later changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:High School of Art and Design.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; in Manhattan|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1981 to 1984 (9th to 11th grade) he commuted to &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; on 245 East 56th Street in Manhattan, but for his last year (12th grade) he attended &#039;&#039;Beach Channel High School&#039;&#039; on 100-00 Beach Channel Drive, where he graduated in 1985.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Beach_Channel_High_School.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;Beach Channel High School&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A car accident that punctured his left lung left no permanent damage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Musical Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad started beatboxing in 1984 after hearing the song &amp;quot;Brrr Stick&#039;em&amp;quot; by the [[The Fat Boys]]. Their debut album came out on May 29, when he in his 11th grade at &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; in Manhattan. First he just immitated Buff&#039;s beatbox style, but soon he started developing his own beatbox technique and routines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time he also became friends with [[Ozzie]], which had a strong effect on both their styles. Before he met Ozzie at a contest at Beach Channel High School, he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood.&lt;br /&gt;
Eventhough they only had a short conversation at the venue, he found out his address and showed up at [[Ozzie]]&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and they exchanged their knowledge and their skills with each other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also performed together in shows and literally underground battles and in subway stations and on the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They often went to these battles right after high school to compete with other beatboxers from the Bronx and Harlem. Popular stations were &#039;&#039;59th Street Lexington&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Broadway-Nassau&#039;&#039; (renamed &#039;&#039;Fulton Street&#039;&#039; in 2011). According to Kenny Muhammad the police was not capable to control or prevent these events from happening as there were too many participants and these crowds could also move to other subway stations shortly.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In 1992 he performed as &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; at the &#039;&#039;[[Apollo Theater]]&#039;&#039; in Harlem and won the &#039;&#039;Amature Night&#039;&#039; contest on February 8.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad appeared on NBC&#039;s &#039;&#039;The Tonight Show&#039;&#039; hosted by Jay Leno on ???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=37&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Kenny Muhammad was at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039; for an event in 1998, Carol Pobanz introduced him to her friend and composer [[David Eaton]], who was also the conductor of the New York Symphony. He came to his office in the &#039;&#039;New Yorker Hotel&#039;&#039;, which is located in the same building on 311 West 34th Street, and gave him a demonstration of his beatboxing skills. Eaton was so impressed that they immediately decided to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=89&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short clip of a rehearsal of the piece with Kenny Muhammad and Eaton could be seen in an episode of the TV serious &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman&#039;&#039; in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/qc6xriH6dZs?si=BdyXZhhJTKrzR1l5&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/yHgeDjIXJ3Y&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/l7R5BWBy5b4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/fW6devXUWNY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kenny Muhammad has never released an official album he had guest appearances. On the album &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; (1997) by [[DJ Skribble]] he can be heard on the track &amp;quot;The Battle&amp;quot;, in which two DJs and two beatboxers are having a (staged) competition. Here Kenny Muhammad and [[Rahzel]] take the chance to show their groundbreaking skills. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/of5jZA0c9Us?t=1654&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This track is a shortened version of the last (hidden) track &#039;&#039;Man vs. Machine&#039;&#039;, which was released two years later on Rahzel&#039;s Album &amp;quot;Make The Music 2000&amp;quot; (1999) inspiring a whole new generation of beatboxers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Rahzel]]&#039;s album contains all the &#039;four elements&#039; (earth, wind, fire, water), &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; has only &#039;two elements&#039; (fire and water).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/bN3B0giSwu4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His so-called &amp;quot;water-technique&amp;quot; covers the beat of [[James Brown]]&#039;s popular track &amp;quot;Funky drummer&amp;quot;. Whereas his so-called &amp;quot;wind-technique&amp;quot; makes use of [[Kraftwerk]]&#039;s beat of &amp;quot;Nummern&amp;quot; (engl. &amp;quot;Numbers&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among serious beatboxers both techniques are considered beatbox classics. The French beatboxer [[Polpo]] even made uncredited use of Kenny Muhammad&#039;s &amp;quot;wind-technique in a video commercial for Vodafone. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Doug E. Fresh&#039;&#039;&#039; (born September 17, 1966 in Christ Church, Barbados), born &#039;&#039;&#039;Douglas Davis&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a beatboxer from Harlem, New York.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His parents originate from Barbados. He was named after his biological father, whom he did not know for a very long time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh is the fourth child and had four siblings, a younger brother, an older brother and two older sisters. Davis is father of six children himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Doug E Fresh lived on the West Side of Harlem and his school was on the East Side. (min. 14:20)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/5npSjFdu-O4?si=ken8-S8HubLQd06H&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Doug E Fresh met DJ Chill will, when he was in 9th grade at &#039;&#039;Charles Evans Junior High School&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/9nIc4F8dyV0?si=0seoan5IDWqBkqTl&amp;amp;t=181&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They only lived 5 blocks away from each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nIc4F8dyV0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the late 1970s Fresh attended &#039;&#039;Charles Evans Hughes Junior High School&#039;&#039; on 351 W 18th St, New York, NY 10011, which was renamed &#039;&#039;Bayard Rustin Educational Complex&#039;&#039; in 1983 due to &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/IfQtRNZECUc?si=EzyaTyu2WQXUo9yX&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He got his artist name by chance in High School when he was about 14. After defeating three students in a rhyming battle in the lunch room (while skipping class), a graffiti artist wanted to put his name on a wall of the school and asked him what to write. Fresh told him to write &amp;quot;Dougy&#039;s fresh&amp;quot;. The graffiti artist obviously misunderstood him and spelled it out &amp;quot;Doug E. Fresh&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When in his 20s, Fresh had his original name legally changed to his artist name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Norman Thomas High School&lt;br /&gt;
111 East 33rd Street, Manhattan, New York City, NY 10016 (unconfirmed)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 1980s Davis attended DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx. (unconfirmed)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Musical Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Flyer_NY_1st_November_1982.jpg|thumb|Hip hop flyer announcing [[Doug E Fresh]] as &amp;quot;the human beatbox&amp;quot; for a party in 1982|border|right|400x400px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1981 Fresh had his first public rap performance on [[Harlem Stage]] on 150 Convent Avenue at West 135th Street. (min. 8)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatboxing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Fresh has continually claimed to be and even named himself &amp;quot;The Original Human Beatbox&amp;quot;, he is not the inventor of the art form of beatboxing in general. According to his own satement in an interview with [[Beatbox Battle|Beatbox Battle TV]] he started beatboxing in 1982, whereas [[Ozzie]], [[Darren Robinson]], [[Gavin Tyte]], [[Yoyobeats]] and possibly [[Michael Winslow]] were already beatboxing in the 1970s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Fresh&#039;s own statements, he started beatboxing in 1982. When he was practicing rhymes and the music stopped, he started just doing some beatbox sounds. His DJ Barry B liked it and suggested to call it &amp;quot;The Human Beatbox&amp;quot; and encouraged him to pursue it further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh is generally considered the inventor of the [[Fresh click]]s and [[clickroll]]s, which have also become his trademark sounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Later Live ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 2007 to 2012 Fresh ran his own restaurant &amp;quot;Doug E.&#039;s Chicken and Waffles&amp;quot; at 2245 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. in Harlem from 2007 to 2012. The establishment was known for its soul food and was a popular spot in the Harlem community during its run.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh is a member of the &#039;&#039;Church of Scientology&#039;&#039;, which has an opulent building on 220 East 125th Street in Harlem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an interview with Essence Magazine Fresh stated he has been practicing the faith since 2015 years after being introduced to it through his former girlfriend and Hot 97 radio personality Miss Jones. (quotation missing)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six months after his mother had died, he found out about his biological father.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Ofvardo Gonzalez&#039;&#039;&#039; (*December 12, 1967 in the Bronx, New York) also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Little Man&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;King of the Beats&#039;&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Ozzie The Showman&#039;&#039;&#039; is a beatboxer, comedian, and music producer from Far Rockaway, Queens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ozzie&#039;s home.JPG|thumb|Ozzie&#039;s home (apartment 8-e)|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early life ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ozzie was born in the Bronx on December 12, 1967. He was the second child of his Puerto Rican parents Fernando and Dorcas Gonzales. He had two sisters, his older sister Ada and his younger sister Patti. When he was still a child, his parents moved to Queens and lived with their family on Beach Channel Drive 40th Street (apartment 8-e) in Edgemere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His father had a repair shop for televisions on Mott Avenue (exact address?) and his mother was a housewife.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While growing up he already started to make sound effects at the age of 5. As his father played the bongos, percussive music was always present in the family. So Ozzie learned to play the bongos, too, and later also turned to the drumset.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:P.S. 197 The Ocean School.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;P.S. 197 The Ocean School&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1973(?) to 1978(?) Ozzie attended elementary school &#039;&#039;P.S. 197 The Ocean School&#039;&#039; on 825 Hicksville Road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Far Rockaway High School.JPG|thumb|building of former &#039;&#039;Far Rockaway High School&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1978(?) Ozzie went to &#039;&#039;J.H.S. 198 Benjamin N. Cardozo Junior High School&#039;&#039; on 365 Beach 56th Street, which was later changed into the &#039;&#039;Goldie Maple Academy&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1981(?) Ozzie attended &#039;&#039;Far Rockaway High School&#039;&#039; on 821 Beach 25th Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His musical influences came from artist like [[Will Smith]], Rakim, Big Daddy Kane.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager Ozzie became friends with [[Kenny Muhammad]], which had a strong effect on both their styles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before Kenny Muhammad saw him perform at Beach Channel High School one day he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood. Eventhough they only had a short conversation, Kenny Muhammad found out his address and showed up at Ozzie&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and the exchanged their knowledge and their skill with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ozzie went to a project building in Delancey to support the rapper Big C, who was participating at a contest there. Ozzie went up there with him and got on the mic and did the beatbox for him to rap to it. At this venue he also met the Crush Crew. After he got together with Kenny Muhammad he started going to Delancey and met up with those guys from [[The Crush Crew]].&lt;br /&gt;
Later on Ozzie and Kenny Muhammad went to &#039;&#039;The Roxy&#039;&#039; on 515 West 18th Street together with [[The Crush Crew]] who had connections with DJ Roman Ricardo, who was the DJ for &#039;&#039;The Roxy&#039;&#039; at the time. Due to these connections they started doing shows there. In these shows they were beatboxing and opening up for popular artists of the time like UTFO (Untouchable Force Organization eg. &#039;Roxanne, Roxanne&#039;), Roxane Shante, RunDMC, Rapping Duke, [[Doug E. Fresh]] and [[The Fat Boys]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatboxing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to his own statement Ozzie developed his beatboxing independently from [[Darren Robinson]] and [[Doug E. Fresh]] when he was about 15 years old. But his Puerto Rican friend Frankie Velázquez, whose family moved to the same building (apartment 4-c), was confident that Ozzie was already beatboxing at that time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His first performance was at the Beach Channel High School in the early 1980s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the inventor of the [[inward snare|Ozzie snare]], which he taught [[Kenny Muhammad]], who made it popular through his long lasting career. The Ozzie snare is the [[inward snare]], which allows beatboxers to constantly beatbox without breathing interruptions as they can inhale some air with every snare they produce in a rhythm. This technique has revolutionized beatboxing with regards to speed and endurance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Later Live ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later (when?) Ozzie moved to Las Vegas and also works as a music producer there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2017 he went to an audition for &#039;&#039;[[America&#039;s got Talent]]&#039;&#039;, but was not picked to be on the show.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

In 1981(?) Ozzie attended &#039;&#039;Far Rockaway High School&#039;&#039; on 821 Beach 25th Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His musical influences came from artist like [[Will Smith]], Rakim, Big Daddy Kane.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager Ozzie became friends with [[Kenny Muhammad]], which had a strong effect on both their styles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before Kenny Muhammad saw him perform at Beach Channel High School one day he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood. Eventhough they only had a short conversation, Kenny Muhammad found out his address and showed up at Ozzie&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and the exchanged their knowledge and their skill with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ozzie went a project building in Delancey to support the rapper Big C, who was participating at a contest there. Ozzie went up there with him and got on the mic and did the beatbox for him to rap to it. At this venue he also met the Crush Crew. After he got together with Kenny Muhammad he started going to Delancey and met up with those guys from [[The Crush Crew]].&lt;br /&gt;
Later on Ozzie and Kenny Muhammad went to &#039;&#039;The Roxy&#039;&#039; on 515 West 18th Street together with [[The Crush Crew]] who had connections with DJ Roman Ricardo, who was the DJ for &#039;&#039;The Roxy&#039;&#039; at the time. Due to these connections they started doing shows there. In these shows they were beatboxing and opening up for popular artists of the time like UTFO (Untouchable Force Organization eg. &#039;Roxanne, Roxanne&#039;), Roxane Shante, RunDMC, Rapping Duke, [[Doug E. Fresh]] and [[The Fat Boys]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatboxing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to his own statement Ozzie developed his beatboxing independently from [[Darren Robinson]] and [[Doug E. Fresh]] when he was about 15 years old. But his Puerto Rican friend Frankie Velázquez, whose family moved to the same building (apartment 4-c), was confident that Ozzie was already beatboxing at that time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His first performance was at the Beach Channel High School in the early 1980s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the inventor of the [[inward snare|Ozzie snare]], which he taught [[Kenny Muhammad]], who made it popular through his long lasting career. The Ozzie snare is the [[inward snare]], which allows beatboxers to constantly beatbox without breathing interruptions as they can inhale some air with every snare they produce in a rhythm. This technique has revolutionized beatboxing with regards to speed and endurance.&lt;br /&gt;

In 1978(?) Ozzie went to &#039;&#039;J.H.S. 198 Benjamin N. Cardozo Junior High School&#039;&#039; on 365 Beach 56th Street, which was later changed into the &#039;&#039;Goldie Maple Academy&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1981(?) Ozzie attended &#039;&#039;Far Rockaway High School&#039;&#039; on 821 Beach 25th Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His musical influences came from artist like [[Will Smith]], Rakim, Big Daddy Kane.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager Ozzie became friends with [[Kenny Muhammad]], which had a strong effect on both their styles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before Kenny Muhammad saw him perform at Beach Channel High School one day he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood. Eventhough they only had a short conversation, Kenny Muhammad found out his address and showed up at Ozzie&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and the exchanged their knowledge and their skill with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ozzie went a project building in Delancey to support the rapper Big C, who was participating at a contest there. Ozzie went up there with him and got on the mic and did the beatbox for him to rap to it. At this venue he also met the Crush Crew. After he got together with Kenny Muhammad he started going to Delancey and met up with those guys from [[The Crush Crew]].&lt;br /&gt;
Later on Ozzie and Kenny Muhammad went to &#039;&#039;The Roxy&#039;&#039; on 515 West 18th Street together with [[The Crush Crew]] who had connections with DJ Roman Ricardo, who was the DJ for &#039;&#039;The Roxy&#039;&#039; at the time. Due to these connections they started doing shows there. In these shows they were beatboxing and opening up for popular artists of the time like UTFO (Untouchable Force Organization eg. &#039;Roxanne, Roxanne&#039;), Roxane Shante, RunDMC, Rapping Duke, [[Doug E. Fresh]] and [[The Fat Boys]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatboxing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to his own statement Ozzie developed his beatboxing independently from [[Darren Robinson]] and [[Doug E. Fresh]] when he was about 15 years old. But his friend Frankie Velázquez was certain that Ozzie was already doing it in 1978, when he first got to know him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His first performance was at the Beach Channel High School in the early 1980s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the inventor of the [[inward snare|Ozzie snare]], which he taught [[Kenny Muhammad]], who made it popular through his long lasting career. The Ozzie snare is the [[inward snare]], which allows beatboxers to constantly beatbox without breathing interruptions as they can inhale some air with every snare they produce in a rhythm. This technique has revolutionized beatboxing with regards to speed and endurance.&lt;br /&gt;

In 2017 he went to an audition for &#039;&#039;[[America&#039;s got Talent]]&#039;&#039;, but was not picked to be on the show.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

When he was still a child, his parents moved to Queens and lived with their family on Beach Channel Drive 40th Street (apartment 8-e) in Edgemere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While growing up he already started to make sound effects at the age of 5. As his father played the bongos, percussive music was always present in the family. So Ozzie learned to play the bongos, too, and later also turned to the drumset.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny Muhammad&#039;&#039;&#039; (born December 3, 1968), also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;The Human Orchestra&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Dr Beatbender&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a beatboxer from Queens, New York.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad grew up in Far Rockaway, a peninsula south of John F. Kennedy International Airport, and lived in an apartment in one of &#039;&#039;The Edgemere Houses&#039;&#039;, which were later renamed into &#039;&#039;The Beach Channel Houses&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1973 to 1978 he attended &#039;&#039;P.S. 105 Bay School&#039;&#039; on 420 Beach Channel Drive 51st Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:JHS_180_(later_The_Scholars_Academy).JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039;, which was changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager he joined (when?) the local baseball club (name?), but gave it up in favor of his musical career.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1978 to 1981 he went to &#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039; on 320 Beach 104th Street, which was later changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
From 1981 to 1984 (9th to 11th grade) he commuted to &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; on 245 East 56th Street in Manhattan, but for his last year (12th grade) he attended &#039;&#039;Beach Channel High School&#039;&#039; on 100-00 Beach Channel Drive, where he graduated in 1985.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A car accident that punctured his left lung left no permanent damage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Musical Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad started beatboxing in 1984 after hearing the song &amp;quot;Brrr Stick&#039;em&amp;quot; by the [[The Fat Boys]]. Their debut album came out on May 29, when he in his 11th grade at &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; in Manhattan. First he just immitated Buff&#039;s beatbox style, but soon he started developing his own beatbox technique and routines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time he also became friends with [[Ozzie]], which had a strong effect on both their styles. Before he met Ozzie at a contest at Beach Channel High School, he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood.&lt;br /&gt;
Eventhough they only had a short conversation at the venue, he found out his address and showed up at [[Ozzie]]&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and they exchanged their knowledge and their skills with each other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also performed together in shows and literally underground battles and in subway stations and on the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They often went to these battles right after high school to compete with other beatboxers from the Bronx and Harlem. Popular stations were &#039;&#039;59th Street Lexington&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Broadway-Nassau&#039;&#039; (renamed &#039;&#039;Fulton Street&#039;&#039; in 2011). According to Kenny Muhammad the police was not capable to control or prevent these events from happening as there were too many participants and these crowds could also move to other subway stations shortly.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Apollo Theater.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;Apollo Theater&#039;&#039; on 254 West 125th Street in Harlem|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1992 he performed as &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; at the &#039;&#039;[[Apollo Theater]]&#039;&#039; in Harlem and won the &#039;&#039;Amature Night&#039;&#039; contest on February 8.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad appeared on NBC&#039;s &#039;&#039;The Tonight Show&#039;&#039; hosted by Jay Leno on ???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=37&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Kenny Muhammad was at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039; for an event in 1998, Carol Pobanz introduced him to her friend and composer [[David Eaton]], who was also the conductor of the New York Symphony. He came to his office in the &#039;&#039;New Yorker Hotel&#039;&#039;, which is located in the same building on 311 West 34th Street, and gave him a demonstration of his beatboxing skills. Eaton was so impressed that they immediately decided to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=89&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short clip of a rehearsal of the piece with Kenny Muhammad and Eaton could be seen in an episode of the TV serious &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman&#039;&#039; in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/l7R5BWBy5b4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/fW6devXUWNY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kenny Muhammad has never released an official album he had guest appearances. On the album &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; (1997) by [[DJ Skribble]] he can be heard on the track &amp;quot;The Battle&amp;quot;, in which two DJs and two beatboxers are having a (staged) competition. Here Kenny Muhammad and [[Rahzel]] take the chance to show their groundbreaking skills. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This track is a shortened version of the last (hidden) track &#039;&#039;Man vs. Machine&#039;&#039;, which was released two years later on Rahzel&#039;s Album &amp;quot;Make The Music 2000&amp;quot; (1999) inspiring a whole new generation of beatboxers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Rahzel]]&#039;s album contains all the &#039;four elements&#039; (earth, wind, fire, water), &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; has only &#039;two elements&#039; (fire and water).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His so-called &amp;quot;water-technique&amp;quot; covers the beat of [[James Brown]]&#039;s popular track &amp;quot;Funky drummer&amp;quot;. Whereas his so-called &amp;quot;wind-technique&amp;quot; makes use of [[Kraftwerk]]&#039;s beat of &amp;quot;Nummern&amp;quot; (engl. &amp;quot;Numbers&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among serious beatboxers both techniques are considered beatbox classics. The French beatboxer [[Polpo]] even made uncredited use of Kenny Muhammad&#039;s &amp;quot;wind-technique in a video commercial for Vodafone. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad grew up in Far Rockaway, a peninsula south of John F. Kennedy International Airport, and lived in an apartment in one of &#039;&#039;The Edgemere Houses&#039;&#039;, which were later renamed into &#039;&#039;The Beach Channel Houses&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1973 to 1978 he attended &#039;&#039;P.S. 105 Bay School&#039;&#039; on 420 Beach Channel Drive 51st Street.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager he joined (when?) the local baseball club (name?), but gave it up in favor of his musical career.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1978 to 1981 he went to &#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039; on 320 Beach 104th Street, which was later changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Musical Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad started beatboxing in 1984 after hearing the song &amp;quot;Brrr Stick&#039;em&amp;quot; by the [[The Fat Boys]]. Their debut album came out on May 29, when he in his 11th grade at &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; in Manhattan. First he just immitated Buff&#039;s beatbox style, but soon he started developing his own beatbox technique and routines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time he also became friends with [[Ozzie]], which had a strong effect on both their styles. Before he met Ozzie at a contest at Beach Channel High School, he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood.&lt;br /&gt;
Eventhough they only had a short conversation at the venue, he found out his address and showed up at [[Ozzie]]&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and they exchanged their knowledge and their skills with each other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also performed together in shows and literally underground battles and in subway stations and on the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They often went to these battles right after high school to compete with other beatboxers from the Bronx and Harlem. Popular stations were &#039;&#039;59th Street Lexington&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Broadway-Nassau&#039;&#039; (renamed &#039;&#039;Fulton Street&#039;&#039; in 2011). According to Kenny Muhammad the police was not capable to control or prevent these events from happening as there were too many participants and these crowds could also move to other subway stations shortly.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Apollo Theater.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;Apollo Theater&#039;&#039; on 254 West 125th Street in Harlem|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1992 he performed as &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; at the &#039;&#039;[[Apollo Theater]]&#039;&#039; in Harlem and won the &#039;&#039;Amature Night&#039;&#039; contest on February 8.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad appeared on NBC&#039;s &#039;&#039;The Tonight Show&#039;&#039; hosted by Jay Leno on ???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=37&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Kenny Muhammad was at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039; for an event in 1998, Carol Pobanz introduced him to her friend and composer [[David Eaton]], who was also the conductor of the New York Symphony. He came to his office in the &#039;&#039;New Yorker Hotel&#039;&#039;, which is located in the same building on 311 West 34th Street, and gave him a demonstration of his beatboxing skills. Eaton was so impressed that they immediately decided to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=89&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short clip of a rehearsal of the piece with Kenny Muhammad and Eaton could be seen in an episode of the TV serious &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman&#039;&#039; in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/l7R5BWBy5b4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/fW6devXUWNY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kenny Muhammad has never released an official album he had guest appearances. On the album &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; (1997) by [[DJ Skribble]] he can be heard on the track &amp;quot;The Battle&amp;quot;, in which two DJs and two beatboxers are having a (staged) competition. Here Kenny Muhammad and [[Rahzel]] take the chance to show their groundbreaking skills. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/of5jZA0c9Us?t=1654&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This track is a shortened version of the last (hidden) track &#039;&#039;Man vs. Machine&#039;&#039;, which was released two years later on Rahzel&#039;s Album &amp;quot;Make The Music 2000&amp;quot; (1999) inspiring a whole new generation of beatboxers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Rahzel]]&#039;s album contains all the &#039;four elements&#039; (earth, wind, fire, water), &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; has only &#039;two elements&#039; (fire and water).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/bN3B0giSwu4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His so-called &amp;quot;water-technique&amp;quot; covers the beat of [[James Brown]]&#039;s popular track &amp;quot;Funky drummer&amp;quot;. Whereas his so-called &amp;quot;wind-technique&amp;quot; makes use of [[Kraftwerk]]&#039;s beat of &amp;quot;Nummern&amp;quot; (engl. &amp;quot;Numbers&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;

Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=89&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short clip of a rehearsal of the piece with Kenny Muhammad and Eaton could be seen in an episode of the TV serious &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman&#039;&#039; in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/fW6devXUWNY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kenny Muhammad has never released an official album he had guest appearances. On the album &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; (1997) by [[DJ Skribble]] he can be heard on the track &amp;quot;The Battle&amp;quot;, in which two DJs and two beatboxers are having a (staged) competition. Here Kenny Muhammad and [[Rahzel]] take the chance to show their groundbreaking skills. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/of5jZA0c9Us?t=1654&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This track is a shortened version of the last (hidden) track &#039;&#039;Man vs. Machine&#039;&#039;, which was released two years later on Rahzel&#039;s Album &amp;quot;Make The Music 2000&amp;quot; (1999) inspiring a whole new generation of beatboxers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Rahzel]]&#039;s album contains all the &#039;four elements&#039; (earth, wind, fire, water), &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; has only &#039;two elements&#039; (fire and water).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/bN3B0giSwu4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His so-called &amp;quot;water-technique&amp;quot; covers the beat of [[James Brown]]&#039;s popular track &amp;quot;Funky drummer&amp;quot;. Whereas his so-called &amp;quot;wind-technique&amp;quot; makes use of [[Kraftwerk]]&#039;s beat of &amp;quot;Nummern&amp;quot; (engl. &amp;quot;Numbers&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among serious beatboxers both techniques are considered beatbox classics. The French beatboxer [[Polpo]] even made uncredited use of Kenny Muhammad&#039;s &amp;quot;wind-technique in a video commercial for Vodafone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatboxing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad was the most influencial beatboxer popularizing the [[Ozzie Snare]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As an adult Kenny Muhammad joined the &#039;&#039;Nation of Islam&#039;&#039; and attended the &#039;&#039;Muhammad Mosque No. 7&#039;&#039; in Harlem on 106-08 West 127th Street.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Ozzie (real name?) (*December 12, 1967 in the Bronx, New York) also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Little Man&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;King of the Beats&#039;&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Ozzie The Showman&#039;&#039;&#039; is a beatboxer, comedian, and music producer from Far Rockaway, Queens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early life ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ozzie was born in the Bronx on December 12, 1967. He was the third child in the family and had three siblings, his older sister (name?), his brother (name?) and his younger brother (name?). His father had a repair shop for television (address?) and his mother was a housewife.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he was still a child, his parents moved to Queens and lived with their family on Beach Channel Drive 40th Street (apartment 8-e) in Edgemere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While growing up he already started to make sound effects at the age of 5. As his father played the bongos, percussive music was always present in the family. So Ozzie learned to play the bongos, too, and later also turned to the drumset.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:P.S. 197 The Ocean School.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;P.S. 197 The Ocean School&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1973(?) to 1978(?) Ozzie attended elementary school &#039;&#039;P.S. 197 The Ocean School&#039;&#039; on 825 Hicksville Road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Far Rockaway High School.JPG|thumb|building of former &#039;&#039;Far Rockaway High School&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1978(?) Ozzie went to &#039;&#039;J.H.S. 198 Benjamin N. Cardozo Junior High School&#039;&#039; on 365 Beach 56th Street, which was later changed into the &#039;&#039;Goldie Maple Academy&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1981(?) Ozzie attended &#039;&#039;Far Rockaway High School&#039;&#039; on 821 Beach 25th Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His musical influences came from artist like [[Will Smith]], Rakim, Big Daddy Kane.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager Ozzie became friends with [[Kenny Muhammad]], which had a strong effect on both their styles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before Kenny Muhammad saw him perform at Beach Channel High School one day he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood. Eventhough they only had a short conversation, Kenny Muhammad found out his address and showed up at Ozzie&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and the exchanged their knowledge and their skill with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ozzie went to a contest at Delancey, where a rapper (name?) from his neighbourhood was participating. Ozzie went up there with him and got on the mic and started doing the beatbox for him to rap to it. And that&#039;s where he met the Crush Crew. He and Kenny Muhammad got together and started going to Delancey and met up with those guys from [[The Crush Crew]].&lt;br /&gt;
Later on Ozzie and Kenny started going to &#039;&#039;The Roxy&#039;&#039; on 515 West 18th Street together with [[The Crush Crew]] who had connections with DJ Roman Ricardo, who was the DJ for &#039;&#039;The Roxy&#039;&#039; at the time. Due to these connections they started doing shows there.&lt;br /&gt;
In these shows they were beatboxing and opening up for popular artists of the time like UTFO (Untouchable Force Organization eg. &#039;Roxanne, Roxanne&#039;), Roxane Shante, RunDMC, Rapping Duke, [[Doug E. Fresh]] and [[The Fat Boys]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatboxing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to his own statement Ozzie developed his beatboxing independently from [[Darren Robinson]] and [[Doug E. Fresh]] when he was about 15 years old. But his friend Frankie Velázquez was certain that Ozzie was already doing it in 1978, when he first got to know him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His first performance was at the Beach Channel High School in the early 1980s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the inventor of the [[inward snare|Ozzie snare]], which he taught [[Kenny Muhammad]], who made it popular through his long lasting career. The Ozzie snare is the [[inward snare]], which allows beatboxers to constantly beatbox without breathing interruptions as they can inhale some air with every snare they produce in a rhythm. This technique has revolutionized beatboxing with regards to speed and endurance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Later (when?) Ozzie moved to Las Vegas and also works as a music producer there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2017 he went to an audition for &#039;&#039;[[America&#039;s got Talent]]&#039;&#039;, but was not picked to be on the show.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

His musical influences came from artist like [[Will Smith]], Rakim, Big Daddy Kane.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager Ozzie became friends with [[Kenny Muhammad]], which had a strong effect on both their styles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before Kenny Muhammad saw him perform at Beach Channel High School one day he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood. Eventhough they only had a short conversation, Kenny Muhammad found out his address and showed up at Ozzie&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and the exchanged their knowledge and their skill with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ozzie went to a contest at Delancey, where a rapper (name?) from his neighbourhood was participating. Ozzie went up there with him and got on the mic and started doing the beatbox for him to rap to it. And that&#039;s where he met the Crush Crew. He and Kenny Muhammad got together and started going to Delancey and met up with those guys from [[The Crush Crew]].&lt;br /&gt;
Later on Ozzie and Kenny started going to &#039;&#039;The Roxy&#039;&#039; on 515 West 18th Street together with [[The Crush Crew]] who had connections with DJ Roman Ricardo, who was the DJ for &#039;&#039;The Roxy&#039;&#039; at the time. Due to these connections they started doing shows there.&lt;br /&gt;
In these shows they were beatboxing and opening up for popular artists of the time like UTFO (Untouchable Force Organization eg. &#039;Roxanne, Roxanne&#039;), Roxane Shante, RunDMC, Rapping Duke, [[Doug E. Fresh]] and [[The Fat Boys]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Beatboxing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to his own statement Ozzie developed his beatboxing independently from [[Darren Robinson]] and [[Doug E. Fresh]] when he was about 15 years old. But his friend Frankie Velázquez was certain that Ozzie was already doing it in 1978, when he first got to know him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His first performance was at the Beach Channel High School in the early 1980s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the inventor of the [[inward snare|Ozzie snare]], which he taught [[Kenny Muhammad]], who made it popular through his long lasting career. The Ozzie snare is the [[inward snare]], which allows beatboxers to constantly beatbox without breathing interruptions as they can inhale some air with every snare they produce in a rhythm. This technique has revolutionized beatboxing with regards to speed and endurance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Later Live ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later (when?) Ozzie moved to Las Vegas and also works as a music producer there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2017 he went to an audition for &#039;&#039;[[America&#039;s got Talent]]&#039;&#039;, but was not picked to be on the show.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
In 1973 to 1978 he attended &#039;&#039;P.S. 105 Bay School&#039;&#039; on 420 Beach Channel Drive 51st Street.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Musical Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad started beatboxing in 1984 after hearing the song &amp;quot;Brrr Stick&#039;em&amp;quot; by the [[The Fat Boys]]. Their debut album came out on May 29, when he in his 11th grade at &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; in Manhattan. First he just immitated Buff&#039;s beatbox style, but soon he started developing his own beatbox technique and routines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time he also became friends with [[Ozzie]], which had a strong effect on both their styles. Before he met Ozzie at a contest at Beach Channel High School, he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood.&lt;br /&gt;
Eventhough they only had a short conversation at the venue, he found out his address and showed up at [[Ozzie]]&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and they exchanged their knowledge and their skills with each other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also performed together in shows and literally underground battles and in subway stations and on the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They often went to these battles right after high school to compete with other beatboxers from the Bronx and Harlem. Popular stations were &#039;&#039;59th Street Lexington&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Broadway-Nassau&#039;&#039; (renamed &#039;&#039;Fulton Street&#039;&#039; in 2011). According to Kenny Muhammad the police was not capable to control or prevent these events from happening as there were too many participants and these crowds could also move to other subway stations shortly.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Apollo Theater.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;Apollo Theater&#039;&#039; on 254 West 125th Street in Harlem|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1992 he performed as &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; at the &#039;&#039;[[Apollo Theater]]&#039;&#039; in Harlem and won the &#039;&#039;Amature Night&#039;&#039; contest on February 8.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad appeared on NBC&#039;s &#039;&#039;The Tonight Show&#039;&#039; hosted by Jay Leno on ???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=37&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Kenny Muhammad was at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039; for an event in 1998, Carol Pobanz introduced him to her friend and composer [[David Eaton]], who was also the conductor of the New York Symphony. He came to his office in the &#039;&#039;New Yorker Hotel&#039;&#039;, which is located in the same building on 311 West 34th Street, and gave him a demonstration of his beatboxing skills. Eaton was so impressed that they immediately decided to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=89&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short clip of a rehearsal of the piece with Kenny Muhammad and Eaton could be seen in an episode of the TV serious &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman&#039;&#039; in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/yHgeDjIXJ3Y&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/l7R5BWBy5b4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/fW6devXUWNY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kenny Muhammad has never released an official album he had guest appearances. On the album &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; (1997) by [[DJ Skribble]] he can be heard on the track &amp;quot;The Battle&amp;quot;, in which two DJs and two beatboxers are having a (staged) competition. Here Kenny Muhammad and [[Rahzel]] take the chance to show their groundbreaking skills. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/of5jZA0c9Us?t=1654&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This track is a shortened version of the last (hidden) track &#039;&#039;Man vs. Machine&#039;&#039;, which was released two years later on Rahzel&#039;s Album &amp;quot;Make The Music 2000&amp;quot; (1999) inspiring a whole new generation of beatboxers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Rahzel]]&#039;s album contains all the &#039;four elements&#039; (earth, wind, fire, water), &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; has only &#039;two elements&#039; (fire and water).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/bN3B0giSwu4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His so-called &amp;quot;water-technique&amp;quot; covers the beat of [[James Brown]]&#039;s popular track &amp;quot;Funky drummer&amp;quot;. Whereas his so-called &amp;quot;wind-technique&amp;quot; makes use of [[Kraftwerk]]&#039;s beat of &amp;quot;Nummern&amp;quot; (engl. &amp;quot;Numbers&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among serious beatboxers both techniques are considered beatbox classics. The French beatboxer [[Polpo]] even made uncredited use of Kenny Muhammad&#039;s &amp;quot;wind-technique in a video commercial for Vodafone. &lt;br /&gt;

Their debut album came out on May 29, when he in his 11th grade at &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; in Manhattan. First he just immitated Buff&#039;s beatbox style, but soon he started developing his own beatbox technique and routines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time he also became friends with [[Ozzie]], which had a strong effect on both their styles. Before he met Ozzie at a contest at Beach Channel High School, he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood.&lt;br /&gt;

A short clip of a rehearsal of the piece with Kenny Muhammad and Eaton could be seen in an episode of the TV serious &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman&#039;&#039; in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kenny Muhammad has never released an official album he had guest appearances. On the album &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; (1997) by [[DJ Skribble]] he can be heard on the track &amp;quot;The Battle&amp;quot;, in which two DJs and two beatboxers are having a (staged) competition. Here Kenny Muhammad and [[Rahzel]] take the chance to show their groundbreaking skills. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/of5jZA0c9Us?t=1654&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This track is a shortened version of the last (hidden) track &#039;&#039;Man vs. Machine&#039;&#039;, which was released two years later on Rahzel&#039;s Album &amp;quot;Make The Music 2000&amp;quot; (1999) inspiring a whole new generation of beatboxers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Rahzel]]&#039;s album contains all the &#039;four elements&#039; (earth, wind, fire, water), &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; has only &#039;two elements&#039; (fire and water).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/bN3B0giSwu4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His so-called &amp;quot;water-technique&amp;quot; covers the beat of [[James Brown]]&#039;s popular track &amp;quot;Funky drummer&amp;quot;. Whereas his so-called &amp;quot;wind-technique&amp;quot; makes use of [[Kraftwerk]]&#039;s beat of &amp;quot;Nummern&amp;quot; (engl. &amp;quot;Numbers&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among serious beatboxers both techniques are considered beatbox classics. The French beatboxer [[Polpo]] even made uncredited use of Kenny Muhammad&#039;s &amp;quot;wind-technique in a video commercial for Vodafone. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager he joined (when?) the local baseball club (name?), but gave it up in favor of his musical career.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1979(?) to 1982(?) he went to &#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039; on 320 Beach 104th Street, which was later changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A car accident that punctured his left lung left no permanent damage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Musical Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad started beatboxing in 1984 after hearing the song &amp;quot;Brrr Stick&#039;em&amp;quot; by the [[The Fat Boys]]. Their debut album came out on May 29, when he in his 10th grade at &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; in Manhattan. First he just immitated Buff&#039;s beatbox style, but soon he started developing his own beatbox technique and routines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time he also became friends with [[Ozzie]], which had a strong effect on both their styles. Before he met Ozzie at a contest at Beach Channel High School, he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood.&lt;br /&gt;
Eventhough they only had a short conversation at the venue, he found out his address and showed up at [[Ozzie]]&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and they exchanged their knowledge and their skills with each other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also performed together in shows and literally underground battles and in subway stations and on the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They often went to these battles right after high school to compete with other beatboxers from the Bronx and Harlem. Popular stations were &#039;&#039;59th Street Lexington&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Broadway-Nassau&#039;&#039; (renamed &#039;&#039;Fulton Street&#039;&#039; in 2011). According to Kenny Muhammad the police was not capable to control or prevent these events from happening as there were too many participants and these crowds could also move to other subway stations shortly.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Apollo Theater.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;Apollo Theater&#039;&#039; on 254 West 125th Street in Harlem|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1992 he performed as &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; at the &#039;&#039;[[Apollo Theater]]&#039;&#039; in Harlem and won the &#039;&#039;Amature Night&#039;&#039; contest on February 8.&lt;br /&gt;

Kenny Muhammad appeared on NBC&#039;s &#039;&#039;The Tonight Show&#039;&#039; hosted by Jay Leno on ???&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Kenny Muhammad was at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039; for an event in 1998, Carol Pobanz introduced him to her friend and composer [[David Eaton]], who was also the conductor of the New York Symphony. He came to his office in the &#039;&#039;New Yorker Hotel&#039;&#039;, which is located in the same building on 311 West 34th Street, and gave him a demonstration of his beatboxing skills. Eaton was so impressed that they immediately decided to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=89&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short clip of a rehearsal of the piece with Kenny Muhammad and Eaton could be seen in an episode of the TV serious &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman&#039;&#039; in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

Popular stations were &#039;&#039;59th Street Lexington&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Broadway-Nassau&#039;&#039; (renamed &#039;&#039;Fulton Street&#039;&#039; in 2011). According to Kenny Muhammad the police was not capable to control or prevent these events from happening as there were too many participants and these crowds could also move to other subway stations shortly.&lt;br /&gt;

When Kenny Muhammad was at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039; for an event in 1998, Carol Pobanz introduced him to her friend and composer [[David Eaton]], who was also the conductor of the New York Symphony. He came to his office in the &#039;&#039;New Yorker Hotel&#039;&#039;, which is located in the same building on 311 West 34th Street, and gave him a demonstration of his beatboxing skills. Eaton was so impressed that they immediately decided to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=89&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kenny Muhammad has never released an official album he had guest appearances. On the album &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; (1997) by [[DJ Skribble]] he can be heard on the track &amp;quot;The Battle&amp;quot;, in which two DJs and two beatboxers are having a (staged) competition. Here Kenny Muhammad and [[Rahzel]] take the chance to show their groundbreaking skills. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/of5jZA0c9Us?t=1654&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This track is a shortened version of the last (hidden) track &#039;&#039;Man vs. Machine&#039;&#039;, which was released two years later on Rahzel&#039;s Album &amp;quot;Make The Music 2000&amp;quot; (1999) inspiring a whole new generation of beatboxers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Rahzel]]&#039;s album contains all the &#039;four elements&#039; (earth, wind, fire, water), &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; has only &#039;two elements&#039; (fire and water).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad grew up in Far Rockaway, a peninsula south of John F. Kennedy International Airport, and lived in an apartment in one of &#039;&#039;The Edgemere Houses&#039;&#039;, which were later renamed into &#039;&#039;The Beach Channel Houses&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1974(?) to 1979 (?) he attended &#039;&#039;P.S. 105 Bay School&#039;&#039; on 420 Beach Channel Drive 51st Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:JHS_180_(later_The_Scholars_Academy).JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039;, which was changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager he joined (when?) the local baseball club (name?), but gave it up in favor of his musical career.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1979(?) he went to &#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039; on 320 Beach 104th Street, which was later changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For his 10th and 11th grade he commuted to &#039;&#039;High School of Art and Design&#039;&#039; on 245 East 56th Street in Manhattan but did his 12th grade at &#039;&#039;Beach Channel High School&#039;&#039; on 100-00 Beach Channel Drive.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A car accident that punctured his left lung left no permanent damage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Musical Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad started beatboxing in 1984 after hearing the song &amp;quot;Brrr Stick&#039;em&amp;quot; by the [[The Fat Boys]], which he soon started to immitate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time he also became friends with [[Ozzie]], which had a strong effect on both their styles. Before he met Ozzie at a contest at Beach Channel High School, he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood.&lt;br /&gt;
Eventhough they only had a short conversation at the venue, he found out his address and showed up at [[Ozzie]]&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and they exchanged their knowledge and their skills with each other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also performed together in shows and literally underground battles and in subway stations and on the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They often went to these battles right after high school to compete with other beatboxers from the Bronx and Harlem. Popular stations were &#039;&#039;59th Street Lexington&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Broadway-Nassau&#039;&#039; (renamed &#039;&#039;Fulton Street&#039;&#039; in 2011). According to Kenny Muhammad the police was not capable to control or prevent these events from happening as there were too many participants and these crowds could also move to other subway stations shortly.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Apollo Theater.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;Apollo Theater&#039;&#039; on 254 West 125th Street in Harlem|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1992 he performed as &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; at the &#039;&#039;[[Apollo Theater]]&#039;&#039; in Harlem and won the &#039;&#039;Amature Night&#039;&#039; contest on February 8.&lt;br /&gt;

He came to his office in the &#039;&#039;New Yorker Hotel&#039;&#039;, which is located in the same building on 311 West 34th Street, and gave him a demonstration of his beatboxing skills. Eaton was so impressed that they immediately decided to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Among serious beatboxers both techniques are considered beatbox classics. The French beatboxer [[Polpo]] even made uncredited use of Kenny Muhammad&#039;s &amp;quot;wind-technique in a video commercial for Vodafone. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In 1979(?) he went to &#039;&#039;J.H.S. 180&#039;&#039; on 320 Beach 104th Street, which was later changed into &#039;&#039;The Scholars&#039; Academy&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Musical Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad started beatboxing in 1984 after hearing the song &amp;quot;Brrr Stick&#039;em&amp;quot; by the [[The Fat Boys]], which he soon started to immitate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time he also became friends with [[Ozzie]], which had a strong effect on both their styles. Before he met Ozzie at a contest at Beach Channel High School, he had already heard about him as they were living in the same neighbourhood.&lt;br /&gt;
Eventhough they only had a short conversation at the venue, he found out his address and showed up at [[Ozzie]]&#039;s doorstep on the next day. He was invited in and they exchanged their knowledge and their skills with each other. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also performed together in shows and literally underground battles and in subway stations and on the street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They often went to these battles right after high school to compete with other beatboxers from the Bronx and Harlem. Popular stations were &#039;&#039;59th Street Lexington&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Broadway-Nassau&#039;&#039; (renamed &#039;&#039;Fulton Street&#039;&#039; in 2011). According to Kenny Muhammad the police was not capable to control or prevent these events from happening as there were too many participants and these crowds could also move to other subway stations shortly.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Apollo Theater.JPG|thumb|&#039;&#039;Apollo Theater&#039;&#039; on 254 West 125th Street in Harlem|border|right|200x200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1992 he performed as &#039;&#039;&#039;Kenny X&#039;&#039;&#039; at the &#039;&#039;[[Apollo Theater]]&#039;&#039; in Harlem and won the &#039;&#039;Amature Night&#039;&#039; contest on February 8.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenny Muhammad appeared on NBC&#039;s &#039;&#039;The Tonight Show&#039;&#039; hosted by Jay Leno on ???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=37&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Kenny Muhammad was at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039; for an event in 1998, Carol Pobanz introduced him to her friend and composer [[David Eaton]], who was also the conductor of the New York Symphony. He came to his office in the &#039;&#039;New Yorker Hotel&#039;&#039;, which is located in the same building on 311 West 34th Street, and gave him a demonstration of his beatboxing skills. Eaton was so impressed that they immediately decided to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a few days Eaton composed a piece for strings, which he called &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; in reference to Kenny Muhammad&#039;s first name. When Kenny Muhammad was listening to the MIDI-file on their second meeting, he immediately started beatboxing along to it. Later his beats and the MIDI-file were recorded as an audio file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the same year &amp;quot;Kenny&#039;s Joy&amp;quot; had its premier at &#039;&#039;The Manhattan Center&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/55C0RirU3yA?t=89&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short clip of a rehearsal of the piece with Kenny Muhammad and Eaton could be seen in an episode of the TV serious &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman&#039;&#039; in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2015 Kenny Muhammad also performed the piece with Boris Strulev and a Balalaika Orchestra conducted by Denis Zabavsky at the open air &amp;quot;Hoff Music Fest&amp;quot; in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also gave two short performances at the TV series &#039;&#039;30 Seconds to Fame&#039;&#039; hosted by Craig Jackson, which was aired by the Fox Network in 2003 ??? (from July 17, 2002 to June 26, 2003).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/l7R5BWBy5b4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He later stated that the show was obviously rigged as the dancing couple won despite the fact that male dancer had dropped his partner during the performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 Kenny Muhammad was featured in on &#039;&#039;Stan Lee&#039;s Superhuman - Super Sound Episode&#039;&#039; in the episode &amp;quot;Hammer Head&amp;quot; (Season 1, episode 3), which was aired on the &#039;&#039;History Channel&#039;&#039; on August 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/fW6devXUWNY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kenny Muhammad has never released an official album he had guest appearances. On the album &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; (1997) by [[DJ Skribble]] he can be heard on the track &amp;quot;The Battle&amp;quot;, in which two DJs and two beatboxers are having a (staged) competition. Here Kenny Muhammad and [[Rahzel]] take the chance to show their groundbreaking skills. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/of5jZA0c9Us?t=1654&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This track is a shortened version of the last (hidden) track &#039;&#039;Man vs. Machine&#039;&#039;, which was released two years later on Rahzel&#039;s Album &amp;quot;Make The Music 2000&amp;quot; (1999) inspiring a whole new generation of beatboxers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While [[Rahzel]]&#039;s album contains all the &#039;four elements&#039; (earth, wind, fire, water), &#039;&#039;Traffic Jams&#039;&#039; has only &#039;two elements&#039; (fire and water).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://youtu.be/bN3B0giSwu4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His so-called &amp;quot;water-technique&amp;quot; covers the beat of [[James Brown]]&#039;s popular track &amp;quot;Funky drummer&amp;quot;. Whereas his so-called &amp;quot;wind-technique&amp;quot; makes use of [[Kraftwerk]]&#039;s beat of &amp;quot;Nummern&amp;quot; (engl. &amp;quot;Numbers&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among serious beatboxers both techniques are considered beatbox classics. The French beatboxer [[Polpo]] even made uncredited use of Kenny Muhammad&#039;s &amp;quot;wind-technique in a video commercial for Vodafone. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Doug E. Fresh&#039;&#039;&#039; (born September 17, 1966 in Christ Church, Barbados), born &#039;&#039;&#039;Douglas Davis&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a beatboxer from Harlem, New York.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His parents originate from Barbados. He was named after his biological father, whom he did not know for a very long time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh is the fourth child and had four siblings, a younger brother, an older brother and two older sisters. Davis is father of six children himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Doug E Fresh lived on the West Side of Harlem and his school was on the East Side. (min. 14:20)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Doug E Fresh met DJ Chill will, when he was in 9th grade at &#039;&#039;Charles Evans Junior High School&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They only lived 5 blocks away from each other.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the late 1970s Fresh attended &#039;&#039;Charles Evans Hughes Junior High School&#039;&#039; on 351 W 18th St, New York, NY 10011, which was renamed &#039;&#039;Bayard Rustin Educational Complex&#039;&#039; in 1983 due to &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He got his artist name by chance in High School when he was about 14. After defeating three students in a rhyming battle in the lunch room (while skipping class), a graffiti artist wanted to put his name on a wall of the school and asked him what to write. Fresh told him to write &amp;quot;Dougy&#039;s fresh&amp;quot;. The graffiti artist obviously misunderstood him and spelled it out &amp;quot;Doug E. Fresh&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When in his 20s, Fresh had his original name legally changed to his artist name.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh is generally considered the inventor of the [[Fresh click]]s and [[clickroll]]s, which have also become his trademark sounds.&lt;br /&gt;

In the late 1970s Fresh attended &#039;&#039;Charles Evans Hughes Junior High School&#039;&#039; on 351 W 18th St, New York, NY 10011, which was renamed &#039;&#039;Bayard Rustin Educational Complex&#039;&#039; in 1983 due to &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He got his artist name by chance in High School when he was about 14. After defeating three students in a rhyming battle in the lunch room (while skipping class), a graffiti artist wanted to put his name on a wall of the school and asked him what to write. Fresh told him to write &amp;quot;Dougy&#039;s fresh&amp;quot;. The graffiti artist obviously misunderstood him and spelled it out &amp;quot;Doug E. Fresh&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When in his 20s, Fresh had his original name legally changed to his artist name.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Beatboxing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Fresh&#039;s own statements, he started beatboxing in 1982. When he was practicing rhymes and the music stopped, he started just doing some beatbox sounds. His DJ Barry B liked it and suggested to call it &amp;quot;The Human Beatbox&amp;quot; and encouraged him to pursue it further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Fresh has continually claimed to be and even named himself &amp;quot;The Original Human Beatbox&amp;quot;, he is not the inventor of the art form of beatboxing in general. According to his own satement in an interview with [[Beatbox Battle|Beatbox Battle TV]] he started beatboxing in 1982, whereas [[Darren Robinson]], [[Gavin Tyte]], [[Yoyobeats]] and possibly [[Michael Winslow]] were already beatboxing in the 1970s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh is generally considered the inventor of the [[Fresh click]]s and [[clickroll]]s, which have also become his trademark sounds.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The Fresh click [ ^C ] or clave click is a short [[beatboxing|beatbox]] sound that is produced by the quick release of the tongue after being positioned on the roof of the mouth closing the airway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When several click sounds are produced in a row in a very short time they are refered to as [[clickroll]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In beatbox rhythms clicks and [[clickroll]]s are usually placed between [[kick]]s and [[snare]]s and are therfore a versatile alternative to common [[hihat]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click sounds are not limited to beatboxing, but have always been used as click consonants in several African languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As [[Doug E. Fresh]] was the first artist to frequently use these sounds in [[beatboxing]], the click sounds are named after him. On the West Coast [[Click Tha Supah Latin]] was one of the early beatboxers to integrate his signature sound into his artist name.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
