Moonsoo Jo

Vocal Percussion/Bass | Mechanical Engineering, '15 | Irvine, CA 

Moonsoo was born in Daegu, South Korea. He played piano for a year until he moved to Irvine, where he continued developing his musical abilities through clarinet. Throughout his younger years, he played in classical and jazz orchestras but also developed interests in many different genres, starting with Hip Hop to Trance, Jazz, etc. He started beatboxing by mixing his varied musical background with his friends’ beatboxing interests. Although he started the activity just for kicks, he has been more serious about it in his recent years, under the alias "Beat Rhino". In order to broaden both his musical and beatboxing perspectives, Moonsoo joined Bruin Harmony in Fall, ’11. He enjoys the rehearsals and performances, and the brotherhood keeps him going, even when studying becomes a tad difficult. His future goal is to win the American Beatboxing Championship and stay true to Bruin Harmony’s crazy personality and perfection of music.
