Jason Tom is Hawai’i's freelance Human Beatbox and TEDx presenter that gets mistaken for a boombox. Nicknamed Superman in P.E. as a Kauluwela Tiger Cub, and Spider-Man as a McKinley Tiger judo athlete. He's collaborated with artists Tom Thum, John Cruz, Jake Shimabukuro, and Imua Garza, and opened shows for Michael Winslow, Blue Scholars, Quest Crew, the Jabbawockeez, Reeps One, and Mike Love. He quickly has become an artist to watch with his high-energy performances. Jason Tom is McDonald's top 3 NextNext music artist, Beatbox Battle TV's top 150 men, and Hawai’i Scene Choice Awards' Best Solo Performer. This beatboxer of the decade is a former McKinley Tigers' award-winning soccer forward, and judo champion. As a Kawananakoa Ali’i Warrior, he got suspended for winning against a Goliath who constantly challenged him and name called him "loser," but it was Charlie and Lucy Wedemeyer's story in Charlie's Victory that helped him to flip the script. After being struck by a SUV at the age of 21, Jason Tom was hit with the realization of what he was doing with his life. Having a near-life death experience was a wakeup call for Tom to pursue a career he is passionate about, which is beatboxing. He perpetuates vocal percussion to 5.6 million.
