The Evolution of Beatbox: DeWayne Taylor at TEDxLincoln

  • Taylor spoke about and demonstrated the evolution of beatboxing, how the art form is spreading like wildfire with just a few clicks of a mouse, and how he's used beatboxing to build bridges between people. Since he was a little boy growing up in St. Louis, Missouri, Taylor has been making sounds with his mouth. He went from annoying his mother with his "sounds" to beatboxing after his freshman year track season at Lincoln Southwest High School in 2009. What began as something to fill the time grew, through hours of practicing, to personal performances at many school functions and activities. In early 2012, after being crowned prom king, Taylor performed to an audience of over 400 people. Since then, he has realized that beatboxing is misunderstood and largely unheard within the community around him. Through competing in the American Beatbox Championships, D-Wayne (his stage name) has connected with other beatboxers, young and old, throughout the nation and around the world. He is constantly looking for ways to help people understand and appreciate this form of artistic expression.
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Tom Thum is better in terms of raw talent, but here's the thing:
    -DeWayne Taylor is telling a story with cultural meaning
    -No, you can't beatbox better than him
    -There's no reason you can't appreciate both videos
    -Small audience + live + one take + nervousness
    All things considered, this video is still amazing.

      Frankly, I think this one makes for a better Ted Talk regardless of talent (which I am not qualified to comment on >.

    I find it funny how people are hating on him, he isn't doing this for show, he is telling a story. Yes he is putting a performance on, that isn't the reason he is giving this. DeWayne is a very hard worker. He is practicing hard on a daily basis and this video is very creative, the culture and history he explains is great. You should hear him now, talking to him a few days ago, this man is still going strong.

    Why are people comparing him to tom thum? I didn't know beatboxing was a contest or something. He's not competing with anyone. He's not the best but he's telling a story and he seems passionate about it. Just enjoy the video and quit holding all beatboxers up to some standard you have created for them. It's a shame that I see this on a lot of beatbox videos. Just enjoy :)

    Although I agree his beatbooxing isn't very exciting, I get that he's explaining and telling a story about beatboxing, and in that... it's interesting.
    I prefer those who put more of a music style beat to it, rather than those who kind of beatbox battle the rhythm, where it's just really fast paced and clicky
