About CHARLES WONG
Expertise
- Vocal Percussion/Beatbox (Check out his sound! )
- Guitar

Beatboxing is using your mouth to make rhythms and sound effects, and that’s what CHARLES does during performances. Anything goes from the basic kick drum or snare drum, to sirens, trumpets and animal sounds, or even beating and singing certain songs at the same. What defines his style is that CHARLES does not stick to the norm of what other beatboxers do. He is always on the look-out for new stuff fresh from the radio or advertisements or games around him, and he works towards imitating them so that the audience can relate to what he is doing and fully enjoy the show.

CHARLES has collaborated with several outstanding local artistes such as Channel U Superband's JUZ B and Singapore Idol's 3rd Finalist, Jasmine Tye. He is currently one of the top beatboxers in the local beatbox scene, having garnered top honors at the 98.7fm National Beatbox Championships 2005, and bagging 2nd place at the coveted Club Orange Beatbox National Competition in 2006. He was invited as one of the judges in the same competition in 2007. This seasoned beatboxer has performed at numerous events and functions over the past 5 years such as MTV's Bario 19, the Istana Open House 2006, and Viva Verdi Opera at The Esplanade in 2007, to name a few. CHARLES never fails to wow his audience with his mind-blowing performances. In addition to beatboxing, CHARLES also sings and plays the guitar weekly at Acid Bar, playing contemporary hits on a solo acoustic set.

The House Jacks in Singapore!!

Review: Our local percussionist star, Peter Huang opened the show for the House Jacks (HJs). He introduced a song or 2 from his debut solo album which the instruments were vocalised by him using layering to create a 'band sound'. However, the audience didn't take to his performance. It was grating to the ears when he made certain sounds: more like noise than music to the ears. There was a slight limp in his leg since his recovery from an accident, which prevented him from dancing around the stage too much. I think it's better that he sticks to his vocal percussion than his weak singing or hiphop rap. People were more impressed with his percussion than him singing or rapping. Good & tight harmony I would say. If you have heard Wes Carrol, the group percussionist, Peter Huang seem amateurish. Real solid vocal percussion from Wes. The bass is Bert Bacco, showing off his really deep rumble. Next is Deke Sharon and Garth Kravitis, the group's vocal instrumentalist wh
