Teacher Bio:

Known for being the wildest beatboxing cellist in the west, Cello Joe does live looping and Ableton production with his sets.

CelloJoe records live on stage with a loop pedal and produces intricate tapestries of harmony, melody, and rhythm. His beatboxing (vocal percussion) and funky cello grooves form a rich soundscape for intelligent lyrics and his music spreads love, joy, laughter, and conscious vibrations.

Applying all of these techniques to their limit, CelloJoe creates music with styles ranging from dubstep to folk to rock to classical to hip hop.  Come to the workshop to see how he does it!
