Steven Cantor, commonly known as HeaveN Beatbox, grew up in Alpharetta, GA, and has been beatboxing, vocally replicating, creating and mimicking music since the age of 14.
While most consider beatboxing to be an art form of hip hop, HeaveN was initially inspired by vocally imitating alternative rock groups Third Eye Blind and Matchbox 20. As his passion for beatboxing grew, he found platforms to showcase his talent by competing in open-mic competitions and performing locally around Atlanta. In 2011, HeaveN toured in India with legendary dance crew HaviKoro.
HeaveN is a three-time top-16 American Beatbox Championship qualifier and the 2012 American Vice-Beatbox Champion. At the Boss Loop Pedal World Championship in Hollywood, CA, he placed third, and in March 2012 he was selected as one of three American representatives to compete at the third annual World Beatbox Championships in Berlin.
HeaveN has introduced, performed and opened for entertainers including Carl Payne and Tommy Ford from the sitcom Martin, comedians Shucky Ducky and Tony Tone from BET’s Comic View, and Eshe and Speech of the alternative hip-hop group Arrested Development. HeaveN’s latest television appearances include USA Morning News (Washington, D.C.), Good Morning America and Revolt TV (Austin, TX).
