"Jason Tom is a walking, talking instrument; an energetic combination of drums, snare, vocals and synthesizer, all replicated using his voice." -Tracy Chan (Metromix cover story, October 1, 2009)

Based in Honolulu's Chinatown, Jason began to perform beatboxing in fall 2004, but has beatboxed since the age of 4 .

He has also performed with local acts Makana, Kamuela Kahoano, Lapwing, Bridget Gray, Pimpbot, Lovechile, Missing Dave, Kings of Spade, Jake Shimabukuro and more.
