Heart at the Center

Jan 08, 2025

I’m not saying I want to be a published author,

But I am saying, I make Legends.

Mike Tinoco is a Beatbox Legend.

The 2004 US Rep. at the first WORLD Beatbox Championship.

He was disappointed that he didn’t win, because he’s a perfectionist.

He drives a Honda.

Now a Married Man, with a gorgeous wife and daughter named Tala.

He hates working, but he has to. Until now…

We co-produced the biggest and baddest Beatbox Shows the West Coast has every seen, selling out Ashkenaz in Berkeley California at the top of 2007.

I don’t produce live events anymore, because it’s a thankless job.

I actually can’t believe that a show like “Tourettes without Regrets”, now Ruckas Revival has been going since ‘99.

There’s no money in live events. -unless you sell out.

I don’t do TECH.

I’m an artist from the Bay Area,

The richest place on the planet.

There is NO MONEY in the BAY AREA for the ARTS.

Stop looking.

I Hustled for a year,

Downtown San Francisco at Intersection for the Arts,

and didn’t get a dime.

Amy K. won’t even let me crash on her couch.

The SAC is too hard for trains.

I don’t go there anymore.

But this SAC has impossible flows.

Mike Tinoco is a Silicon Valley English Teacher.

He teaches High School. Those Kids. Damn.

If I was Malcom X, he would be MLK Jr.
