Their presentation at habit Hackers floored me, both as a fellow musician and participant.  The blend of entertainment and self-expression, coupled with education and habit awareness facilitates a learning experience like no other.

Kaila and I got right into this episode.  She and i got lost in travel stories before realizing we had an interview to conduct.  Kaila’s energy is palpable, she carries so much passion for her craft. We decided to have jam session after the interview and Im so glad we recorded it. i've included a bit of our "bass & drums" session following the interview. So stick around, I hope you enjoy this episode with Kaila Mullady.

BIO

Kaila Mullady on the MindMill Podcast

Kaila Mullady is the 2015 & 2018 World Beatbox Champion, the 2014 American Vice Beatbox Champion, 3x Loop Station Champion and 3x Beatrhyme Champion. She was the first woman to ever beat a man on a National Level in the North American Battle League. Kaila performs all over the world infusing beatboxing, singing, rapping, and theater to push the boundaries of creativity and show just what the human instrument is capable of.

One of the most fulfilling parts of Kaila's career has been traveling the world teaching workshops promoting expression and leadership through music. Her work using beatboxing as a tool for speech therapy led to a partnership with New York University where a class was explicitly designed to build tools in the classroom for blind students based off of her curriculum. 

Giving back to communities is an integral part of Kaila’s creative process which motivated her to take over producing the American Beatbox Championships and Mexican Beatbox Championships which are the most significant platforms for Beatboxers in North America.
