Bellatrix is a London based beatboxer who is trained in classical and contemporary music. I’m basically in love with her; she has the most soulful style and the hardest inward snare I’ve heard since Kenny Muhammad.

Aside from representing female beatboxing at conventions in Europe, Bellatrix also performs with her group: Bellatrix and the Boxettes!
