About the creators
Bart Voogt, better known as B-Art, started beatboxing at the age of fifteen. He discovered beatboxing through a YouTube video and was captivated by the possibilities of the human voice! Additionally, he was immediately drawn to the close-knit community driven by beatbox battles. His passion became competing in these battles. After countless hours of training and participating in every possible national and international battle, he has now been crowned Dutch champion three times and is also a beatboxing vice-world champion.
Maria Martinez Paya is a Spanish freelance musician who has been based in the Netherlands for nine years. She learned percussion in her home country and further honed her classical training for several years in Rotterdam. The number of percussion instruments she can play has become almost uncountable. She has performed in the musical The Lion King and on tour with Verder by Simone Kleinsma, alongside keyboardist Menno Theunissen (known for Diana en Zonen, among others). With her former duo, Lip Stick Percussion Duo with Laura Trompetter, she performed on various stages and festivals in the Netherlands, such as De Doelen and the Grachtenfestival in Amsterdam. Additionally, she has appeared on TV shows such as Podium Witteman and Het Klokhuis. Since 2019, Maria has been a member of the percussion entertainment group Drumboost and the salsa band Seis en Salsa, led by Thomas Böttcher.
Vitaly Medvedev began studying at one of Russia's most prestigious music schools at the age of seven. He later completed his Bachelor’s degree in Music (Percussion) at the Prins Claus Conservatory in Groningen and earned a Master’s in Percussion at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. Over recent years, Vitaly has developed into a multidisciplinary performer, appearing as a musician/dancer/actor in productions by NITE, Orkater, Oorkaan, and Schweigman&. He has also performed with leading Dutch contemporary music ensembles such as Klang, Asko|Schönberg, Silbersee, Ragazze Quartet, and Cappella Amsterdam. Together with percussionist Mei-Yi Lee, he founded SonoLab, an ensemble for contemporary music and performance.
"With his phenomenally varied repertoire of sounds, he magically conjures an eerie dark cellar or cave for us, using both acoustics and gestures..."
