A Uniquely Gifted Nigerian Slaps His Own Face to Make Music
Ololade Omotoye aka Jojo Bodybeats is not yet a star.

Body-O-Phone involves producing rhythmic sounds by beating all parts of the body with the hand and objects like spoons.

All parts of his body produce tones of desired songs, using his body the way talking drummers use their drums.
