ROXORLOOPS (BE) Born in Asse (Belgium) on 28 april 1984 as Senjka Danhieux.

He is a regular member of international beatbox contest juries. To date RoxorLoops is considered by many as one of the best beatboxers in the world although he himself clearly states there is no best.

He was the resident beatboxer of Witloof Bay (BE) and Voxnorth (DK) and ZAP MAMA (BE). He also performed in contemporary dance and theatre projects such as Les Daltoniens and Urban Nomads. He finished his studies as a soloist at the Royal Academy for Music in Aalborg (DK) and now tours the world with the vocal looping project ‘RoxorLoops & Jasmin’.
