- World renowned beatboxer Tom Thum takes you on a journey through sound. With shades of driving drums, stomach churning bass, deafening silence and soulful pitch perfect vocals, Tom invites his audience to explore the sordid love affair. This musical phenomenon showcases that what makes him whole, his music.
Climaxing in his own personal ode to silence, Tom unveils the newest piece in his arsenal, the gorgeous “Love has left here”. Not only showing his amazing ability to carve lush, emotion inducing arrangements through nothing more than the textures in his throat, it’s his unprecedented ability as a singer that is the real show stopper.
It’s been said many times that Beat Boxer Tom Thum appears to have not only a symphony orchestra but also a jazz band, techno DJ, 80’s synth pop group and collection of exotic world instruments all residing somewhere in his throat.
Propelled to Internet stardom with his 2013 TEDx performance at the Sydney Opera House, Tom’s 15 minute showcase quickly became the highest viewed TEDx video of all time with over 70+ million views and counting. Now recognised worldwide for his obscure talent to warp and manipulate his vocal chords, Tom Thum provides confirmation to his audience that there is no sound he cannot mimic to perfection. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I went to the same school as Tom he was a grade ahead of me. I use to always see him beatboxing during lunch breaks in the courtyard, he was impressive back then it's crazy to see how far he's come.
He would draw a crowd while breakdancing at the senior school dance's as well, Dudes got talent.
That's actually sick to hear
Loved hearing your story!
crazy bro!
I think with this fact, it makes him The Godfather of Modern Beatboxing.
I would like to hear more dam.
He's not just a beat boxer. He's a legend, an artist, a musician, multi talented performer of the highest levels! What a man.....! And very handsome as well..
Lol and you’re in love
@@bennitob8 I am very in love for over 6 years with my boyfriend :)
@@nicolinamaria how sweet:) but Tom is your free card I bet lol
@@bennitob8 maybe ;)
I tried to mimic his hand gestures and my furniture started floating around
Hahaha best😂😂😂
Remember its a swish and flick
@Emil C. it's your fault that my neighbour's houses floating in the air for like 5 hours now
People have said the same about pronouncing my name
If you are from the beatbox community, you'll know that this guy is *absolutely insane* ! And these Ted Talks could never do justice for what he really can do.
this is just him playing around
Him and Beardyman are on another level
For me Tom Thum is the best Loopstation Beatboxer
@@Santiago-fn7ff Ever heard of Saro?
@@Santiago-fn7ff Well, Saro is still undefeated.
What's amazing is he's still evolving his game. I was blown away then and I'm blown again.
Crazy! Wins teams in 2005 with Joel yet still evolving, learning, improving
Funfact: I was blown while watching this video
He looks so much different from his tedX sydney video from like 5 years ago
7 years ago, ig.. 2013😳🔥
his hairstyle changed
He's gotten healthier too
hes not wearing unironned shirt
He looks like he gained a little weight
Found his first TedEx video, the Sydney one...so many years back and its like one of my core memory videos. And years later this one from Mumbai, India... He looks different but his craft is still no less than a masterpiece. An absolute genius, a complete legend 🙌🏼🙌🏼

The craft displayed here is absolute light years ahead of his Sydney performance. Don't get me wrong I was blown away by the Sydney performance, but this is just like he invented a new level.
@@ppunionBut that says a lot about him. Because it's gotten so much better since then.
3:37 one of the hardest slapping beats I’ve heard in a long time! Honestly, I thought the sounds were really random at first, but when he put them together it hit SO hard! This man is a true legend ❤️
Was hoping he was gonna play with it some more after the break.
ok I thought it was his cover of bounce - timberland
That was so unexpected and pure fire 🔥🔥 o
If that's an actual music, I wanna know the name 💀💀🗿
This man doing some jutsu with his left hand 👌🤘🖖🤙👈🤚🤞✌️
time stamp?
oh yeah, its his super sekrit musical jutsu, it turns his voice into any instrument he wants.
From 0:00 to 10:16
🤣🤣🤣
Ist echt wichtig. Musiker bzw eher beatboxer können das nachvollziehen.
This is not beatboxing. This is the definition of art in itself!
5:16 - 6:24 GIVES ME CHILLS 😭 dude is extraordinary 🔥
Absolutely incredible. I am such a huge fan of Tom Thum!! He's so playful, funny, creative and heartfelt.
What a lovely performance.
The most psychedelic music ever coming from anyone's mouth . 🤩
Perhaps it was at the time. Now Search: “Azel - Angra”
This may be the best beatbox performance ever. God damn
It is so good!
You should check his performance with ball zee on 2016 beatbox championships it's also good
Damn I see your comment everywhere
@@noverdy that's me
Nope but he is one of the tops
He can make a whole show with this. I would totally pay for a ticket to see him live.
this dude can beatbox and he can sing like he has 10 platinum albums
He should perform at Oscars
Right
Superbowls the last one with the weekend didnt like it lol
THIS IS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN
Exactly what I felt 3 years ago when I saw Tom Thum Ted X Videos one before this prolly at Sydney if im not mistaken and now im beatboxer.
So many incredible people are on earth. God bless you, talented man.
A true human beeing, living and expressing his full Talent and Potential. I wonder how it would look like if me and everyone else with our unique talents get to this Level... .
theres plenty of people ridiculously good at what they do, this does not involve just music. Go look at some artistic masterpieces being produced right now or some incredibly talented dancers. Where there is creativity there will be masters, you just need to find them
That... that was beautiful. Like, wow. Those trumpets he made sound realer than actual trumpets. The actual music itself - a work of art. The range of complexity and skill in his sound - unrivaled. I would like this video a thousand times if I could.
it is very rivaled. go check out some competitions on channels like Swissbeatbox.
My man should win every voice, talent show, without forgetting Grammys. Pure talent
Wow you are breathtaking!! Incredible. Such beautiful art
One of the most creative person Alive, Awesome!!
He's always been such a wonderful story teller. Glad to hear he's found his way back to what he loves again.
"Love will lead you back!"
I need BBK in the audience, pleasssee❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Lmao yes
I didn’t know I needed this and now I can’t unwant it.
Bbk Needs to be present in every bb show. Bbk for president...
you forgot one heart color
(edit): you forgot many
his talent is out of this world, I would love to see him live
At about 3:00 minutes is one of the best pieces of art I have ever heard! This guys never disappoints!
How have I missed this?!?! I cant explain how much goosebumps I got. This deserves another viral ted talk ;)
This guy is a musical genius
1:51 dat beep sound was INHUMANE
Wow! this guy can do anything puts his mine to it. I remember 2013 TED X made me laughed party party party, HAHAHA
I heard this just yesterday for the first time (I was high) , it was honestly so beautiful to listen to. He sings so well , so beautifully , the level he is on is insane , definitely my all time favorite beatboxer . He literally created a story-like performance. Also , I haven’t listened to him since 2016 , the last vid I saw was his ‘Rachet-Face’ performance. I was/am so stunned by how much he’s evolved in this field. I hope to witness this in person some day ❤️ THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A REAL ARTIST
I saw some beatboxer with their loop play but this man is out of the world...
You are far beyond insane...!!!
I am speechless in all the ways Tom is totally expressive. . . This is legend. . .
This performance is one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed. I am so thankful I found this. You are making masterpieces that will not be forgotten. Keep doing what you're doing
This deserves an unreal amount of views. What he’s doing is truly insane and so difficult, and the execution of putting this together so seamlessly is incredible.
This is beyond. Just beyond. Beauty. I don't think I have ever seen or read or heard anyone express the true solitude like that.
You definitely should sing. Your singing voice is so awesome. You are a truly gifted person who has many talents!
Sad to see such less likes on such a masterpiece 😫
it's relative to the amount of views. it's a new talk!
His old Ted talk at Sydney is the most view ted talk ever if I'm not mistaken
@@hpa2361 77mil views!
first beatboxer with this much feel
Him and gene IMO. his 2019 showcase blew me away
@@lukeang5615 I'll check that out too
@@lukeang5615 i came to say Gene is on this level but you beat me to it
dudz, mb14, ... there are many talented beatboxers on this level
This man never ceases to impress me. He is as awesome as I remember. 🔥
i've been following tom tince i started beatboxing myself, and it's only been a little over 4 years now, it's crazy to see how you still keep on improving and figuring out new sounds and routines. man, envy your creativity!
Your gift will make room for you! That's pure talent!
Next level performance. Taking his craft to another dimension. Love the pallete and the touch he did on that halftime dnb sequence. Nothing less than a masterpiece 💙🌊
What a journey! He is expanding and shifting and improving and surprising, for years now, on and on, on and on - how amazingly reminding us to our endless potential! This man more and more becomes a piece of art himself. That´s how it´s supposed to be...
This is such an amazing way to tell your love story with music.
I love Tom, I'm as surprised as he can manage to do that, he's amazing!
Tom is the best !! Truly love u 💓 keep em coming..... I will listen to them all n over and over much love from NY 😘
Wow. Just wow!!!! I could listen to Tom for years on end!!! 👏👏👏👏
He has prefected this sound so so well.
Wow that final half is captivating, would love to see any and all adaptions of that in future!
Looking and hearing this master piece was such an amazing experience
He takes beatbox to a whole new level.
I keep hearing Seal in his voice...that was an amazing performance!
Tom Thum the ABSOLUTE LEGEND! Big Up from the BBX Community!
Discovering this video and subsequently wanting to understand the emotion and story behind this piece from Tom is what led to me realizing that I'm just a beatboxer.
This is MAGNIFICENT!
The second half got me totally!
Outstanding performance
Such a unique guy in the beatbox scene...🌟big ups Tom you're contributing so much along with others in changing the scene
well that was singlehandedly the greatest beatbox performance ever delivered
after 5 years, he shockt me again with his TALENT, omg.. XD
Omg his singing is amazing.
Tom has kicking it on Ted since 2013.
I want to know the name of the soud he makes at 1:30
I think it's Tom's signature
Wow tom got a third tedtalk? thats freakin amazing!!!
Keeping beatboxing alive. I heard this growing up in the 80's non stop and it just brings back so many memories and to see how it's evolved over the decades.
5:30 and onward is insanely beautiful. Almost like an early Sigur Ros track.
Or Vespertine/Medulla era Bjork....or Kid-A/Amnesiac era Radiohead. You get the vibe I'm pointing to lol...
The harmonic texture of these single drones he builds up is beyond gorgeous.
Music is wonderful....
On a whole other level. Sounds like he got singing lessons too!
They turn away to smile was so adorable. Lol. So much talent in one remarkable man. Im entranced
Amazing performance! Maximum respect legend
