Harry Yeff (born 18 November 1989), better known by his stage name, Reeps One is a British artist based in London, known for his focus on performance, vocal experiments, and digital installations.
[3] In November 2018, Reeps One was a co-author to the paper 'Beatboxers and Guitarists Engage Sensorimotor Regions Selectively When Listening to the Instruments[4] published by Oxford Academic.
He discovered this during his time with Dr. Sophie Scott during the making of the We Speak Music documentary with Nokia Bell Labs where they used an MRI to observe his diaphragm while using his signature beatbox technique, the Inward Drag.
[6] Reeps One has collaborated with a diverse selection of artists and institutions including Damon Albarn, Mike Patton, the University College and the United Nations.
It was titled A new virtuoso: when AI is both an opponent and a collaborator and featured five pieces in which he beatboxed to and interacted with syntactic voices created by Machine learning models.
