Career

2015–2016: Formation crew and debut

Berywam was formed in 2015 to the surprise of everyone during the French Beatbox Championship. The name of the band is composed with the first letters of each original member (BE-RY-WA-M). Despite being defeated by Team Punk in 2015, they won the French beatbox championship team category in 2016 and qualified for the 2018 World Beatbox Championship. [2] Berywam became popular on the internet for their beatbox covers posted on various social media websites. [2]

2017–2019: Tú sí que vales, tour concert, line changes-up, America's Got Talent

2017 was a turning point for the band as they began a tour across the France in April and finished with a summer tour until August. They released their EP on 2 June 2017, after signing a contract with Barclay Records. [2] They opened for several well known artists' gigs like Bigflo & Oli [3] and Georgio. [4] They ended their year strong, taking part in the Italian TV talent show Tú sí que vales. It was a success for the band, being eliminated only after reaching the finals. [5]

They began 2018 by announcing two gigs: one in Paris in April and the other in Toulouse in February. Both concerts were sold out one month in advance. Stemming from their success that came from the two gigs, the band announced two more gigs in the same cities in September in Paris, and in October in Toulouse. They were also invited to one of the most famous French music festivals, Les Francofolies de La Rochelle. [6]

2018 was a crucial year for the band as they prepared for their first album [2] and the 5th Beatbox Battle World Championship.On 9 April 2018, Berywam published on their YouTube channel a video explaining that MB14 decided to leave the band to pursue his solo career. On 20 April 2018, the crew announced in another YouTube video that Beasty, winner of the 2010 French Beatbox Championship, was chosen as the new member of the crew. [2] At the World Championships that year, Berywam (composed of the current members along with MB14), became world champions in the "Crew" category. [7]

Berywam continued their talent show appearances by participating in the 14th season of America's Got Talent, broadcast on the NBC channel. Their first participation was broadcast on 18–19 June 2019. Following the latter, they managed to climb to the second round of show. Berywam successfully passed the second round but were unsuccessful in progressing to the semi-finals.[ citation needed ]
