Piman

I am Simon Olivier AKA Piman.

I am an A level student at school in Oxford.

I have been BeatBoxing for about 2 years but have made weird little noises with my mouth for aslong as I can remember.

I am currently trying to get gigs in the local area (4 so far) and trying to record and feature on some CDs.

I started to beatbox

I kept doing it

I got pretty good

Rahzel first got me into BeatBoxing properly but Killa Kella is also an important influence as well as Monkey Moo and Shlomo.

UK Hip-Hop is a huge influence on me. This includes artists such as Jehst, Lowkey, Skinnyman and Klashnekoff to name a few.

Also (mainly old school) American Hip-Hop especially bands such as J5, Run DMC, cypruss hill.

On top of this I also enjoy many other types of music including, rock, dub, regae, drum'n'base, ska and dance; though these have less of an impact on my beatboxing.
