Introduce Yourself : Making weird noises is my thing

P1270007.jpg

Yes, you read it right, I like to make weird noises. 

Ranging from bird noises to bass growls, drum to trumpet effects, people like me like to call ourselves beatboxers. We're a bunch of human being who make all sorts of sounds using only our mouths for our own entertainment, and hopefully, everyone else's too. 

My name is Justin Tan and I'm an 18 year old Malaysian. I'm a beatboxer, or as some others like to call it, a vocal percussionist. This hobby of mine has grown to become more than just making noises with my mouth. It has lead to me stepping out of my comfort zone, meeting people from all walks of life, and not to mention ending up right here, on steemit. 

I've ended up here because I joined the Beatnation Initiative, a program run by Beatnation that will one day hopefully help us beatboxers in Malaysia be able to earn some money. As a beatboxer, I can say we have a lot to offer. There's so much untapped potential in beatboxing that is yet to be discovered, and if you're interested to see what we beatboxers are capable of, follow Beatnation on steemit. They upload beatbox related content daily, which includes A Capella's, beatbox tutorials, beatboxers jamming together and so much more. 


If you're a person who greatly enjoys any form of music, trust me, you'll enjoy beatboxing! :) I hope to get to know the steemit community more, and see us develop this platform together. Anyways, thanks for reading my post up till here! Stick around and follow @beatnation for exciting beatboxing videos.

Hello justintan! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
