Hot Butter Soul Collective (HBSC) is a professional London-based
gospel choir who usually collaborate with a human beatboxer (vocal
percussionist) to produce
stunningly original acapella covers from any
musical genre.

Their manager Breck Marsom first combined gospel singers with a
beatboxer to perform for the top London department store Selfridges 
during Christmas 2005,
helped by
Vula Malinga, lead singer of Grammy
-winners Basement Jaxx, and the multi-talented Richard Lianhart.

HBSC has been invited back for a number of dates every year since.

Besides offering anything from uplifting acapella party music to gentle
wedding music or from opening award ceremonies or fashion shows to
providing backing singers for a concert or session singers to a recording
studio, 
HBSC have performed
in public for such clients as The Royal
Academy of Arts, 
and The Royal Yacht Hotel in Jersey and St. Pancras
International,
and have twice appeared on national radio.

After being enthralled by our gospel choir and beatboxer at Selfridges
in 2007 celebrity DJ Russell Brand immediately invited them to appear
on his
BBC Radio 2 Christmas show that year, on which they performed
an unprecedented five songs, only two of which were carols! They also
appeared on the
 BBC 6Music Sean Keaveny Breakfast Show in Dec 2008
and May 2010.
 

HBSC has an extremely flexible format that can allow for any number
of singers; the optional inclusion of a beatboxer; collaboration with
musicians (who we can also provide); and there are often circumstances
where live performances don't require a PA. It's experienced, charming
vocalists are sourced from the
music industry where they work with
artistes such as Basement Jaxx, Madonna, Elton John, Gorillaz, Lionel
Ritchie and Robbie Williams. The principal human beatboxer is Richard
Lianhart, who starred in the international hit musical 'Daddy Cool'.
