Alex Sanchez,[1] better known as BizKit, is an American beatboxer and looper.
History[]
BizKit was born on October 31, 2001 in New York. He first discovered beatboxing after watching a video of SoCloseToToast. In middle school, he was involved in a "special advanced choir" and was their beatboxer for a cappella performances, one of their first being Pentatonix's arrangement of "Royals" by Lorde.[2][3]
BizKit was introduced to looping after watching videos of the Loopstation category in the Grand Beatbox Battle 2016. He got a loopstation in late 2017 but only "[started] seriously putting in the effort" in mid-2018.[3]
In 2024, BizKit graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,[4] majoring in Dance.[1]
