The one-man entertainment system, other wise known as the HeatBox, will come to WTAMU on Feb. 7 to put on a show for students. By creating music from the ground up using a LoopStation RC-50 and a voice modulator, he is able to create layers of music with only his voice. He does not use any tracks or songs, which makes his performance raw and original.

“His style of voice is so unique and he makes all the sound that is being heard for his performance,” said Brianna Moore, a sophomore CORE consultant. “He literally has about fifty layers of sound going during his performance.”

“Every year we go to APCA (Association for Programming of Campus Activities) which is a talent show where people perform in hopes to take their talent to the college campuses,” Stephanie Bracket, assistant director of Student Activities, said. “We take CORE students who choose someone they want to bring to campus.”

APCA is where CORE found Fiddler Natalie Stovall who has performed for WT in the past.

This year, CORE students went to Corpus Christi to find HeatBox.

“He does imitations of other singing artist along with his vocal beats,” said Kiana Garcia, a student consultant for diversity. “They need to be prepared for high intensity level, he brings a lot of fun and action.”

This performer is not like a typical beat-boxer because of the device in his hand. During his performance in Corpus Christi, he was able to say a word backwards, record it, and then play the track backwards which sounded like he was saying the actual word.

“It was really entertaining,” said Moore. “You have to go because it’s nothing like you’ve never heard.”

HeatBox’s performance will take place at the JBK at 6 p.m. and it is a free show.
