Darren Foreman (born May 14 1982), better known as Beardyman, is a musician from London renowned for his beatboxing skills and use of live looping technology. According to the BBC he is “the King of Sound and Ruler of Beats”.
Foreman was born into a Jewish family in Stanmore, North London. After studying at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School for Boys, Foreman moved to Brighton in 2001 to study at the University of Sussex
Although he started making noises at the age of three by imitating Michael Winslow from the Police Academy movie series, it was seeing Rahzel perform live that convinced Foreman that beatboxing, looping and making music was what he wanted to do.
His little brother, Jay Foreman, is also a musician and a comedian. Darren and Jay have often performed together.
Beardyman often incorporates humour into his act. He has impersonated Elvis, dressed as a monkey on stage at Bestival and once posed as an Austrian climate change lecturer, "Professor Bernhard Steinerhoff", before breaking into his set, with over 1 million views on YouTube. Beardyman also features in the Funky Sage ring tones in which he plays a floating head who beatboxes and gives good advice. His video "Kitchen Diaries" which features him combining beatboxing with cooking has been viewed more than 4 million times on YouTube.
