Rizumik

RIZUMIK stands for artistic expression as the closest form of connection to the source. He is an award-winning artist (performer, musician, dancer, actor, teacher, entertainer, photographer, writer), born in Lisbon, that has also lived in Barcelona, Macau and New York. He is mostly known for his rhythmical and improvisational talents, using mainly beatbox, singing, percussion, dance, humor and character work.

RIZUMIK has traveled the world performing and teaching, and has worked with CIRQUE DU SOLEIL, THE VOCA PEOPLE (Off-Broadway and international cast), and 10 time Grammy-Award winner Bobby McFerrin (in his Circle Singing course at Omega Institute, since 2016), among many others artists of all areas. Apart from his artistic accomplishments (including winning “Best Vocal Percussion” at 2017’s Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella competition, being the 2012 American Beatbox Champion, winning a Lucille Lortel Award with The Voca People, and being a TEDx speaker), the man behind RIZUMIK has a degree in Advertising and Marketing, Reiki 2nd level, formation in socio-cultural animation and creative leadership, a hip hop course, passion for physical activity and interest in some collections.

He mostly thrives in improvisation, humor and movement - following the spirit of "Lila", the divine play - and he firmly believes in a spiritual and sacred approach to music practice and sonic experiences. Being open and present to the moment, our bodies and our creativity, means that we can explore the world and connect with each other in a deeper and more pleasurable way.
