George “Georgeous”
Avakian, South African, but naturally
of Armenian decent found his passion for
Beat-boxing and the STAGE through the
classic cliché’, a High School
competition, at the tender age of 14.
Since then, George has found his way as
‘THE corporate party starter’,
has recorded with International artists,
is currently releasing his debut Music
video and is yet to be defeated in one
to one beat box battles. |
It’s been a love
for mastering and pioneering this form of
expression as others have done abroad that
has driven George to master this Art, practice
religiously and leave everything on stage,
slowly earning him recognition as one of
SA’s top beat-boxers and entertainers.
A title further cemented after opening the
stage for International artist, Wyclef Jean
in 2008.
Beat-boxing has always stemmed from Rhythm,
Blues and Hip-Hop, his unique talent however
lies in his ability to combine the above
and if the crowd demands, he easily incorporates
other popular genres, such as, House,
Classical, Jazz, Rock or Pop into a symphony
of music that lifts, invigorates and moves
crowds across all racial and cultural
barriers, from the Sandton “Palms”
to “The Rock” in Soweto!
George moves the stage, moves unlike
any other Beat-boxer on stage and is guaranteed
to move ANY crowd...worldwide!
