London master of beat boxing Killa Kela was invited as the main star of MTV Ukraine 'sparty dedicated to the channel’s first anniversary. Beat boxing is a so-called vocal percussion that was invented between the 1970s and 1980s. It’s an art of creating beats and rhythms using only your mouth. By now beat boxing has evolved to imitating scratching and different musical instruments. Today the true beat boxing masters sound like deejays with well-packed turntables or even like real bands.

Lee Potter’s (a.k.a. Killa Kela) talent was discovered by famous British deejay Vadim, who released Killa Kela’s debut mix “Antistatic” on the JazzFudge label in 2000 and then invited him to participate in his live project, The Russian Percussion. Since then Killa Kela has grown into a successful musician, taking part in Rock Steady Crew and The Scratch Perverts cult formations.

On the musician’s official site, the Kyiv concert is marked as a “full show.” This means that Killa Kela is likely to bring his Spit Kingdom band along with him and together create an amazing cocktail of hip hop, drum’n’bass, raga-jungle and breaks. Ukrainian electro musician The Maneken will also play at MTV Ukraine's Birthday party.
