Butterscotch

Why you should listen

A vocal percussionist virtuosa, Butterscotch began her career in the underground male-dominated beatbox battle scene, where she was crowned the world's first female beatbox champion. She blends hip-hop, jazz, soul and reggae into shows that are emotionally and physically invigorating. Butterscotch is known for her trifecta fusion of singing, beatboxing and playing either piano or guitar simultaneously, creating endless layers on her loop station. With a voice reminiscent of Billie Holiday and rap verses comparable to Lauryn Hill, Butterscotch courageously sings about her love life, depression and daily struggles of being a biracial queer woman of color. Her philanthropic mission is to empower and elevate people through music and compassion.

Butterscotch has opened up for Erykah Badu, Earth, Wind & Fire, Thievery Corporation, Sergio Mendes, Wyclef Jean and other musical legends. Her newest release, Scotch, is testament to her growth as an artist and human. Check out Butterscotch on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.
