Bio
You can catch "Shock" on the new version of Sesame Workshop's "The Electric Company" on PBS. Chris Sullivan has been a beatboxer for 8 years and a lover of music, improvisation and bike riding all of his life. As an original member of Freestyle Love Supreme, he has toured New York City and the world making up beats, soundscapes, and jokes since 2004. He studied improvisation with NYC's The People's Improv Theater, The Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater, and teachers of Chicago's Annoyance Theater. He also works regularly with Beatboxer Entertainment performing with such greats as Doug E. Fresh and Biz Markie. Special thanks to Foxboro High School Music Director Steve Massey, MacGyver and the cast of Goonies.
