A Monkey Playing the Banjo and a Beatboxing Gorrilla.
Butterscotch is an internationally recognized beatbox artist seen on NBC's number one hit show of the summer "America's Got Talent" as one of the finalists. Before her claim to fame, in September of 2005 she battled for the First International World Female Beatbox Champion title in Leipzig, Germany competing with beatboxers from all over the world. She also is the newly crowned West Coast Beatbox Champion beating 18 men to get to the top. Last May she was selected to be included in Verizon's Beatbox Mixer, a video-game and beatbox sequencer used as a porthole to show the capabilities of hi-speed internet, leading her to work with beatboxing's best including Doug E Fresh, Biz Markie, Rahzel, Click, Scratch, Masai Electro and head of the Beatboxer Entertainment Kid Lucky. Butterscotch was featured on Tom Green's online show "The Channel" on "Freestyle Friday's" with Pigeon John, toured with Mike Patton's (Faith No More, Fantomas, Mr. Bungle) Peeping Tom, and is now touring with his new project with Dan the Automator called Crudo.
Butterscotch is also a singer/songwriter/musician who incorporates beatboxing into her compositions along with instruments she plays such as the piano, flute, saxophone, bass, guitar and performs regularly at shows all over the country. She is heavily influenced by jazz, classical, hip hop and R&B artists ranging from Frederick Chopin to John Coltrane to Stevie Wonder. After high school she was accepted into the music program at California State University Sacramento as a Classical Piano Major but now is solely focusing on her music career outside of school. She hopes to return and create a Beatbox or Vocal Percussion Major and believes the art of beatboxing needs to be recognized as its own entity, instrument, even genre.
On the side she loves photography and has her works featured at local galleries and up for sale. Sports have always impacted her life being a basketball and soccer player on competitive leagues giving her that combative edge to succeed in battles and competitions.
I'd like to wish you good luck and happiness, good luck with the show, maybe it has finished, I don't know as I'm European based and don't have too much time to watch TV, but I enjoyed your performance and would like to wish you all the best, good luck and keep smiling.
