Welcome to the sanctuary of the Parmesan Man!
This is where you will find a collection of beats, coming straight from the mouth of Leejay the Homay. Wah-hoo. Enjoy. Download. Feed your ears. I hope to motivate people to beatbox themselves. So go right on ahead. Stop reading this.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been attempting beatboxing all the way back to the 6th grade... but my first serious attempts were made back in the summer of 2001 (particularly June). I was with Angel at Philippine National Day 2001, and she knew I was interested in beatboxing, but I didn't know how to quite well. She introduced me to her friend Kevin, who beatboxed. That amazed me to see someone beatbox really well in person, not just on a downloaded sound clip of Rahzel. So from then on, I knew that beatboxing was possible for regular people too. I've been at it like crazy since.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah I've done my share of live performances. I basically beatbox whenever and wherever I'm asked to. It's a pleasure for me, and I love seeing the crowd get hyped. Beatboxing naturally puts smiles on people's faces. It's a great feeling being the one responsible for it.

What equipment do you use?
Like Rahzel says:
"All I need is me and this microphone."
My preferrence is a Shure SM-58.. it's all I ever use anymore.. it's honestly the best for beatboxing.
Anything else?
I live in a horse and was raised by a cup of coffee. (No not really, but I thought it was funny.)
