TOM THUM and his globally renowned beatboxing skills have taken him to some of the world’s most impressive stages, entrancing audiences of all ages and walks of life with his almost inexplicable talent for vocal and sonic manipulation.
His career has seen many highlights, including the debut of the world’s first 60-minute beatbox/ orchestral concerto for the iconic BBC Proms, his 2013 performance at the Sydney Opera House for TEDx that holds the record for the highest viewed TEDx video of all time at over 79 million views, winning the first ever Beatbox World Championships alongside Joel Turner in the team category, as well as taking home the coveted Underbelly Edinburgh Award for his acclaimed solo show BEATING THE HABIT.
Having long been regarded a top tier musical Australian export, Tom Thum has supported the likes of hip hop luminaries including Grandmaster Flash, Chali 2na (Jurassic 5) and The X-Ecutioners, as well as beloved Australian artists like Hilltop Hoods, Blue King Brown, The Cat Empire and Ruel. As a solo performer, Tom’s style has remained fresh and exciting – testament to the fact that when it comes to beatboxing, there are no limitations on what you can do with your vocals. It’s no wonder that he is the type of artist to draw sold out crowds time and time again.
Tom Thum’s unique approach to performance is second to none; and now, the sonic phenomenon is about to embark on yet another new chapter in his ever-evolving journey, with the announcement of his official BASICS 2 BASSES beatboxing masterclass.
Having already hosted sessions that delve deep into the art of beatboxing, including a TEDxSydney talk with Dr. Matthew Broadhurst that has been viewed over 4.5 million times, Tom Thum now brings a full educational resource to music fans and aspiring beatboxers to start their own journey into sound.
Created exclusively by Tom Thum, the BASICS 2 BASSES series will teach anyone the tips and tricks of the beatbox trade, regardless of their skill level. Users will learn about the history of beatboxing, as well as how it has developed over the decades into having a cultural impact all its own; all while learning how to forge their own style.
With no instruments needed aside from what’s attached to your face (!), the BASICS 2 BASSES masterclass is an inspiring and engaging digital resource that Tom has created.
Ready to ignite a whole new generation of beatboxers, this masterclass is an offering of what Tom wishes he had ‘back in the day’ when learning his now world-famous skills.
“I have managed to corral a huge chunk of what I have learned over the past 20 years and have whittled it down to just over two hours of intensive learning for any skill level.
Trying to succinctly explain a whole bunch of seemingly inexplicable noises was definitely one of the biggest challenges putting together this course. Trying to make inhuman noises, human, is definitely no easy feat but I feel like I (hopefully) explained it as simply as possible, so no level of detail was missed. In fact, breaking it down to the fundamentals of how the sounds are created taught me a lot about how to approach ways to learn in the future, so not only did I teach most of what I know, I also learned way more than what I thought I would” TOMTHUM

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
