Kenny Muhammad is an American Beatboxer and vocal percussionist who often performs under the alias "The human orchestra". He is well known for his ability to vocaly imitate complex percussive rhythms and layer vocally imitated sound effects and basslines on top of them to simulate the music of a full rhythm section. He also utilizes "vocal scratching" a vocal technique commonly used by rappers and beatboxers that mimics the sound of vocal samples being scratched by hip hop DJs.

Kenny is known for using a technique called the "wind technique", which heavily utilizes breathing as an element of the beatbox routine. This creates a unique effect of audibly inhaling and exhaling while simultaneously creating percussion sounds with the mouth.
