Music: PSEC Presents ‘Are You Ready to BEATBOX?’
Well, are you? You better say yes because Adam Matta and Masai Electro don't take no for an answer. Actually, they might, but you would probably have to beatbox it for them. Matta is a beatboxer and vocal artist from New York who has performed all over the city, including venues like Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden. Masai Electro has opened for stars like Will Smith and Missy Elliot, and his vocals have been featured in various TV commercials. If these two aren’t enough to get you to Cafe Viv (and they really should be), Princeton’s own Off the Record will also be performing. This opportunity is unBEATable.
