The best kept secret in music

It's hard to find an act that experienced entertainment professionals haven't seen before, but every now and then one comes along with a new take or twist that gets us all excited again. Often the hybridization of multiple talents brings about this result. We've all seen eyes roll when someone mentions a juggler, calling to mind the stereotypical goofball in a bow tie often associated with the likes of mimes and hack ventriloquists. But, for those of us who have seen truly talented jugglers (that are usually pretty decent comics too), we know that there is great entertainment value to be had in the art form.
Enter Bronkar Lee, who's not only a talented juggler, but a musician at heart. He's got a new twist on an old art form you've got to see, because Bronkar isn't just a juggler, he's a beat boxer as well; and instead of tossing his balls up, he throws them down. Pounding them rhythmically against a resonating mic'ed box on stage, he bounces the balls in cadence with the beats he's spouting vocally. It's a strangely symbiotic and mesmerizing experience and when coupled with Bronkar's wit and personality, is a uniquely entertaining experience.
Bronkar is the world's only rhythmic juggling beat boxer. "I started out as a drummer: he says. "I have always been into rhythms and beats, so I got into beat boxing sometime after. People that I hung out with and performed for seemed to really dig that so I got really good at It - enough that I could show up to real music gigs and sit in with bands on rhythm as a drummer on a microphone." It was some years after that Bronkar stumbled across juggling, but it still took a while for the two hobbies to merge. "I got into juggling a few years later and was immediately taken with it, as I had always been fascinated with anything that had to do with hand-eye coordination. I was an avid athlete, especially as a tennis player. So, when I picked up juggling, I immediately got it and it felt like home." Naturally, the first things Bronkar began juggling were racquet and tennis balls. "That's what I had around, so I started juggling them, then I was bouncing them off the floor and walls." It was some time later in a conversation with his Mom that she suggested he merge the two talents together. "It took a while to figure out. At first we had the idea of juggling the balls by bouncing them off my drum set, but the surface area was too small and it didn't seem to click. I finally invented my own box for the stage (in its 16th generation) that I mic. With a headset mic on, I can beat and bounce in sync." It's unique and exciting performance, and Bronkar's youthful energetic looks and charming personality seal the deal.
