MalGayaud (born 25 March 1992), better known as Alem is a French beatboxer.[2] He is widely regarded as one of the greatest beatboxer of his generation as well as one of the best technical beatboxer in the world.[3][4]

Before becoming a beatboxer, Gayaud used to play drums.[5] He began beatboxing at the age of 11. In 2015 he won the Beatbox Battle World Champion after defeating NaPoM of United States in the final.[6]Gayaud has also collaborated on several musical projects (Group of Jazz, gospel, Irish, and Breton music).[5]


In October 2009, Alem competed at his first beatbox competition at the French Beatbox Championship. In the round of 16, his first ever battle, he won against Beasty.[7] He lost to Dawan Player in the quarter-finals.[8] In the 2010 French Beatbox Championship, Alem finished as runner-up, losing to Beasty.[9] Alem was knocked out at the quarter final of the 2011 French Beatbox Championship, after losing to BMG.


In 2018, Alem and female solo Champion, Kaila Mullady, both entered the 5th Beatbox Battle World Championships, marking the first time a World Champion has attempted to defend their title in a consecutive World Championship. Alem was defeated by B-Art in the Top 8 battles.


In 2019, Alem and newly crowned World Champion, Alexinho, formed a tag team and entered into the Grand Beatbox Battle as Uniteam. They went on to win the competition defeating Middle School in the final.


Alem is one of the first pioneer of technicality in modern beatboxing. His style generally involves complex, intricate drum patterns and precise rhythms whilst simultaneously maintaining clarity of sound. He has often cited Kenny Muhammad, the human orchestra, as one of his primary early beatboxing influences.[citation needed]


It's the story of Male_07, a beatboxer with supernatural powers trying to stop Male_09 from destroying the Earth in every universe. As well as Male_07 wanting to kill all other male_07 with superpowers, as he did not intent to help until male_09 mentions he will ask for other male_07's for help which makes him help male_09 to stop his evil version.


To qualify for BBBWC they have to win the Beatbox Championship in their country or at least reach a high place in the same competition. However, they can also qualify by Wildcard or a special invitation from the organization. For this there are internationals that also give a quota such as the Grand Beatbox Battle.


In the first round, each particpant(s) must make a presentation of 2 minutes, in front of the judges (almost always formed by previous champions or beatboxers of international renown) to demonstrate their potential. The judges base their decision on different aspects, such as the musicality, originality and quality of the show, among others. The best 16 (8 in the case of the Women's Solo and 4 in the case of the Tag-Team) go to the next round.


The Beatbox Battle World Championship (BBBWC) is hosted triennially (every three years) hosted by Beatbox Battle Tv in a week-long festival held in Berlin, Germany. Face-to-face beatbox battles take place in five different categories:- individual male, individual female, tag-team, loop station and crew battle. In 2015, more than 150 national or major event champions of beatboxing gathered from 50 or so countries, after qualifying to participate in the world event by winning their respective national championships.[1][2]


The sixth Beatbox Battle World Championship was held in Berlin, Germany from 2 to 6 August 2023.[3] The women's battle has been reinstated. The tag-team, loop station and crew battle, also two new categories: Best new sound FX and Best vocal scratching.[3]


The first ever Beatbox Battle World Championship was started in 2005 by Alexander "BeeLow" Blow[8] and took place in 2005 in Leipzig, Germany. The event was the first international beatboxing championship.[1][2]


The 3rd BBBWC in 2012, the 4th in 2015 and the 5th in 2018 were held at the Astra Kulturhaus in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Berlin.[10] In 2012, over 1000 people attended the event and over 100,000 people viewed the event live online.[11]


In 2018, more than 150 artists from 6 continents and 50 countries qualified for the event, including musicians from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines,[12] Singapore, Venezuela, Vietnam, South Africa, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, United States, + 26 European countries were invited to perform in front of around 1,500 spectators.[13]


This story begins with Male_09 doing research in the lab. When the alarm goes off, he checks the footage and sees Male_09 from another universe destroying the Earth in some other universe. So Male_09 decided to visit Male_07, because Male_07 might be able to stop him, for help. Male_09 took one from his headphone collection, put it on, and got into his car. He arrived at Male_07's apartment and searched his room. Near the door of his room had "disturb = die" written on it, but the door was not locked. Male_09 entered without hesitation. The room looked like a living room and had a TV on. It showed a video of Male_07 driving a car while beatboxing. Male_07 was so focused on it that he didn't notice Male_09. When Male_09 looked up at the clock, the hands were spinning in a strange way. He decides to compliment Male_07 on the watch to make him realize he's here.


The Beatbox Alien (also called the Rapping Alien) is a unique alien shown in Men in Black II. Here, Jay convinces Kay (working at a post office in Massachusetts post-neuralyzation) that aliens are real. He then exposes that nearly everyone in the post office is an alien. Jay uses a translator to talk to the alien. They talk to each other in beatbox. The Beatbox Alien was portrayed by the late rapper Biz Markie.


"While there are lots of data on how the voice is used and can be injured in singers, little is known about the structures involved in beatboxing and if it poses a risk of injury to the vocal tract," said Sims, UIC associate professor of otolaryngology and director of the Chicago Institute for Voice Care at UI Health.


Beatboxing, which first became popular in the 1980s, is a type of vocal percussion in which performers imitate drum sounds with the voice, often accompanied by rapping or singing. The number of amateur performers taking part in national and international competitions is increasing.


Sims imaged the vocal tracts of four male beatbox artists using a flexible fiber optic endoscope threaded through the nose and positioned just above the vocal apparatus. Another camera recorded the artists as they performed various isolated and combination beatbox sounds. Side by side, the videos show which vocal structures are engaged as the artists riff.

Sims found that beatboxers use the whole vocal tract to produce a range of sounds, spreading the energy among several structures and minimizing wear on any single part. They also tended to keep the glottis -- the space between the vocal cords -- open. "Keeping the glottis open means that beatboxing may actually be protective of the vocal folds," Sims said.


"Singers rely almost exclusively on the vocal cords themselves to produce their sounds," Sims said. "So all the energy involved with singing is concentrated on these structures, which can develop scar tissue with overuse."


Sims says that some of the techniques beatboxers use could help singers relieve stress on their vocal cords. For instance, using muscles to elongate the vocal tract, he said, could help singers "get themselves a little closer to that high note, before engaging the vocal folds." The technique could be useful for Broadway singers who have up to eight shows a week and need to compete in sound volume with an orchestra.

SCENES shines a spotlight on youth around the world that are breaking down barriers and creating change. The character-driven short films will inspire and amaze as these young change-makers tell their remarkable stories.


Sufiyan Rouf was 16 years old when Kashmir went into a 132-day shutdown. The death of the militant leader, Burhan Wani, by government forces in July 2016, sparked days of deadly violence. The unrest caused the deaths of 76 civilians, the closure of schools and universities and the imposition of a strict curfew.


Confined to his home, Sufiyan found himself with a lot of free time. One day while surfing the internet, he stumbled upon a video that would change his life. "I just came across a YouTube video. It was NaPoM versus Alexinho (Beatbox Battle World Championship quarter-final). I saw that video and it hit me really hard. I've been beatboxing ever since," he told Scenes.


Sufiyan was hooked. For days on end, he practiced and researched the vocal percussion. "The best thing that I love about beatboxing is that you don't really need an instrument to beatbox, all you need is your mouth and you can beatbox almost anywhere," the now 21-year-old explains.


The music history in Kashmir is very rich. Over the centuries, the country has been influenced by Indian and Middle Eastern classical music. However, in recent years, American hip hop has become more popular. MC Kash became the first rapper from the conflict-stricken area to gain international fame. His sharp and politically conscious words gave the Kashmir people a voice.


Other rappers, such as Ahmer Javed and SOS, followed suit. Despite the emerging rap scene, beatboxing was still relatively unknown. Realising there was a gap to fill, Sufiyan began posting content on his social media and quickly gained a following. He gave a shout out to all the beatboxers of Srinagar to join him and in July 2018, the Kashmir Beatbox Community was born.
