Synopsis

Using a simple loop pedal, Minian layers his beatboxing live, effectively becoming a one-man band. He recreates entire songs using only his voice, without any instrument or backing tracks. His energetic yet soulful style mashes popular mainstream hits from artists such as Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran with more progressive Avicii-type house tracks. As the reigning Acapella Loop Station Champion in Singapore for the past two years, Minian continues to push the boundaries of his acoustic-electric hybrid style with his own reggae and drum’n’bass compositions, hoping to inspire more artists in the local a capella scene.

Minian is a beatboxer who uses a loop pedal to layer his vocals live. As a one-man band, he recreates entire songs using only his voice—without instruments or pre-recorded tracks. Despite the uniqueness of his art form, Minian’s musical skills beyond vocal percussion equip him with the ability to create full and enriching sounds which he carries into his live shows. His experiences have led him to perform for and work with notable corporations such as Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, Gardens by the Bay, National Library Board, SCDF E-Sports, and the 555Beatbox Initiative. Minian earned the competitive title of Loopstation Champion at the Singapore A Capella Championships in both 2023 and 2024, a recognition that also featured him on Channel 8 News.

 

His passion for music stems from a love of spreading positivity and empathy, resulting in a style that blends energetic and soulful genres such as country pop, reggae, progressive house and liquid drum’n’bass. This passion is evident in his strong stage presence as he engages the crowd and explores the wide range of soundscapes. Through his journey as an aspiring musician, Minian aims to continue pushing the boundaries of vocal music with his acoustic-electric hybrid style and hopes to empower the local a cappella scene.
