Jamie also has a group with Cristian Vogel called Super Collider. Lidell is known for layering tracks made with his voice into a microphone & performing the percussion and melody as a sequenced, beatboxing one-man band. New album comes out May 17/18.
Then over his augmented voices, he sings soul-inspired songs. This exercise makes for energetic live performances. Lidell has become renowned for his diverse range of genre-exploration.
