In this episode of Toasts & Jams, we welcome Harry "Reeps One" Yeff, artist, voice pioneer and creative technologist whose work sits at the intersection of human expression, artificial intelligence and performance.
From his beginnings as a world-renowned beatboxer to collaborating with leading researchers and institutions including Harvard, Harry has dedicated his career to exploring the limitless potential of the human voice and what it can teach us about creativity, technology and ourselves.
We talk about neurodivergence, finding belonging through art, the future of AI, voice technology, creativity and why human expression will always remain at the centre of innovation. Harry also reflects on stepping away from touring, preserving voices for future generations and how technology can help us become more creative, rather than replace us.
It's a fascinating conversation about curiosity, identity, creativity and the future of what it means to be human.
