Neil Patrick Meadows,[1] better known as NaPoM (Dr. NaPe in Loopstation battles), is an American beatboxer and looper. He is a current member of The Beatbox House. He is known for his unique lip rolls.
History[]
NaPoM was born on August 9, 1996 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania[2] and grew up in the surrounding areas of Slickville and Delmont.[3][4] He started beatboxing in 2011 at 16 years old after watching a video of Greg Pattillo beatboxing with a flute.[4] One of his first attempts at beatboxing involved imitating Pattillo's performance using his sister's flute. The first battle he ever attended was the 2012 Midwest Beatbox Battle, where he first met future collaborators like Kenny Urban, Amit, BBK, and Kaila Mullady.[5]
He released an album "Lips" in 2018.
