Why my friend called me a beast -Jojo Body Beats

Jojo

Jojo Body Beats beats every part of his body to make music to entertain. He has been doing so since 1995 and he told OSEYIZA OOGBODO BLOG about the journey to celebrity status.

You beat your body to make entertaining sounds and music and you call it bodiophony. Is this term coined by you or bodiophony is a recognized entertainment genre like comedy, rapping, etc?

Well, I actually coined the word, bodiophony, by myself as the name for what I do which is beating my body to produce sounds to entertain people and I therefore call myself bodiophonist. I derived bodiophony from the music instrument, xylophone, and I had to do so because beating the human body to make music is not common so I had to come up with a unique name for it so people can make reference to it in future for academic studies and research. Although for laymen, I call it Jojo body beat but for corporate shows, I call it bodiophony.

Why don’t you just call yourself a musician?
