Are you a beginner or advanced singer?

Nizlopi gained popularity in the late 2000s with their hit song "JCB Song". Luke Concannon is the lead vocalist, and John Parker plays the double bass. Nizlopi's music is quite unique as they incorporate beatboxing and the double bass into their performances. To learn how to sing like Nizlopi, you need to develop a good understanding of beatboxing, master unique rhythms, and learn to sing with a double bass. Here's how you can achieve this:

  • To get that Nizlopi feel, you need to work on your beatboxing. Singing while beatboxing will come in very handy for you.
