Kid Beyond (real name Andrew Chaikin) (December 7, 1969) is an American singer, beatboxer, songwriter, live looper and voice actor, based in the San Francisco area.
Early career[edit]
Chaikin attended Brown University and was a leader in the co-ed fraternity Zeta Delta Xi. He sang in the Jabberwocks, a student a cappella group. He graduated in 1991 and moved to San Francisco to join the House Jacks with Deke Sharon, recording 'Naked Noise' and 'Funkwich' with the band (the latter for Tommy Boy Records).
He left the House Jacks in 1997.
In 2004, Kid Beyond made a cameo appearance as an actor in the music video Maximum Wage, which featured music he co-created with Andrew Bancroft.
He released his first solo EP, Amplivate, in 2006.
Performances[edit]
Kid Beyond has toured nationally with Imogen Heap.[1] He has also performed at major music festivals, including sets at Burning Man atop a Unimog, the Langerado festival,[2] the 2007 Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival,[3] and Coachella.[4]
His song 'Mothership' from Amplivate was used in NBA Live 08 by EA Sports.
While opening for Buckethead in San Francisco on February 15, 2008, Kid Beyond mentioned recording vocals for 'Free Bird' and other songs for Guitar Hero II.
Kid Beyond performed at the inaugural w00tstock[5] shows at the Swedish American Hall, San Francisco, California on October 19 and 20, 2009.
He appeared on the game show Jeopardy![6] on November 6th & 9th, 2020, winning $21,600.
Techniques[edit]
Kid Beyond's performances often include some traditional beatboxing as well as live looping. The looped pieces make heavy use of Ableton's Live software on a laptop to layer and loop vocal and vocal percussion tracks together to create full songs. Prior to concerts, the software is configured with the tracks that will be used in each piece, including any necessary effects and levels, but lacking any audio. A set of MIDI controller foot pedals allow Kid Beyond to control the software during performance, enabling him to record, play, and manipulate the audio tracks with a set of predefined macros. In some cases, a single press of a pedal performs multiple actions, such as muting one track while initializing recording on another.[7]
In recognition of his innovative techniques, Ableton made him a featured artist[8] on their website and presented him at a series of clinics in Germany.[9] The associated footage[10] was shown on a number of viral video sites.
Voice work[edit]
As Andrew Chaikin, he has performed as a voice-over artist for a number of video games and advertisements, prominently in American McGee's Alice as The Mad Hatter/The White Rabbit/The March Hare, and in the 2005 game Star Wars: Republic Commando, where he does the voices of Clone Advisor and Delta 40 'Fixer'.[11]
