The amazing percussion sounds you hear in a Rockapella show are performed vocally by Jeff Thacher, completing Rockapella's band-without- instruments sound. Born of a musical family and raised on piano lessons from an early age, he later added frequent vocal and choral experience. After receiving a degree in music and recording from Boston's renowned Berklee College, Jeff spent a few years working in the radio and television industries while singing and experimenting with vocal percussion on the side. Since joining up with Rockapella in 1993, he's become a pioneering legend among professional mouth drummers (a select group of beatboxers) who, as he likes to put it, "spit for a living". Jeff's powerful virtuosity forms the funky rhythmic heartbeat of Rockapella, delighting and astonishing audiences everywhere.
