Musical style

Alem is one of the first pioneer of technicality in modern beatboxing. His style generally involves complex, intricate drum patterns and precise rhythms whilst simultaneously maintaining clarity of sound. He has often cited Kenny Muhammad, the human orchestra, as one of his primary early beatboxing influences.Шаблон:Citation needed
