Butterscotch          

Beatbox Champion, Multi-Instrumentalist, Social Activist

Butterscotch, a sonic alchemist and the world's first female beatbox champion, seamlessly blends Hip-Hop, Jazz, Soul, and Reggae into her performances. Her journey in music began with classical piano, which laid the foundation for her expansive artistry, ultimately propelling her into prominence when she placed third on "America’s Got Talent." Her musical prowess extends beyond beatboxing as she also sings, plays piano or guitar, and uses a loop station to craft her unique sound.

As a globe-trotting singer, beatboxer, and multi-instrumentalist, Butterscotch transcends gender and genre conventions. She invites the audience to participate in spontaneous creations through improvisation, shaping music into a soulful and enchanting tapestry. This approach to performance has led her to share stages with notable artists such as Erykah Badu, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Wyclef Jean, and to perform at prestigious events like the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Java Jazz Festival in Indonesia.

Butterscotch's influence extends beyond music to activism and education. She has taught beatbox workshops at various educational institutions and performed for incarcerated individuals at San Quentin Prison. Her commitment to social causes is evident in her music and public engagements, where she addresses issues such as mental health, the challenges of being a biracial queer woman of color, and the importance of compassion and empowerment. Through her album "The Scotch Tapes" and singles like "We Are All We Got," Butterscotch continues to inspire and impact audiences worldwide.
