Freedom's Boombox (US美國)

Freedom’s Boombox is pop vocal trio from the US formed in late-2016. With only 3 voices and no instruments, Freedom’s Boombox is built to get the most out of every musical moment. In their first year, Freedom’s Boombox rose from internet favorites to international touring trio. The band started as a collaborative music side-project, but Freedom’s Boombox gained momentum after one of their all-vocal music videos went viral. Their social presence jumped dramatically after their first album release in July 2017 as the trio brought their a cappella music to 4 continents in under 6 months. They released their 2nd album of collaborations with pop stars they’ve met around the world. In 2018, Freedom’s Boombox toured the US and abroad again to perform, teach, and promote the album.

Their mission of reaching the corners of globe with the voice has a deeper purpose. The singers, with experience as instructors, make it a point to teach music and develop hip hop, beatbox, and vocal music programs with aspiring musicians. The dream is to bring these programs to more places in an ongoing journey to provide positive activity alternatives for youth and underserved artists.

Freedom's Boombox是來自美國的流行聲樂三人組合,成立於2016年底。他們只有三把聲音,沒有樂器,為了探索音樂上每一個可能。在他們成立的第一年,Freedom's Boombox從互聯網上的寵兒搖身一變成為國際巡演的三人組。該組合源於一個協作小計劃,但在他們的一段全人聲音樂視頻走紅後,Freedom's Boombox 便發展出勢頭。在2017年7月他們的第一張專輯發行後,他們的影響力急速躍升,並火速在六個月內將他們的無伴奏合唱音樂傳遍了世界四大洲。他們發行的第二張專輯連繫著他們跟在世界各地遇到的流行歌手。在2018年,Freedom’s Boombox再次在美國和國外巡演,進行表演、教學和推廣該專輯。

Freedom’s Boombox以把人聲音樂傳達到世界每個角落為己任。他們豐富的教學經驗促使他們跟有抱負的音樂人一起發展嘻哈、beatbox和人聲項目。他們夢想把這些項目帶到更多的地方為年輕人和尚未被眷顧的藝術家提供正向活動選擇。
