For the first time ever on Kickin’ It With Katija, we’re shining the spotlight on one of hip hop’s original elements as we welcome our very first beatbox guest to the studio… KUUDA! 🎤🔥

One of the fastest-rising names in the Australian beatbox scene, KUUDA has been making serious waves after competing in Break’n Bread’s inaugural beatbox battle and recently taking out 3rd place at the 2026 NSW Beatbox Championships.

Beatboxing has been a core part of hip hop culture since the very beginning, and I’m excited to dive into its history, learn more about the craft, and showcase this incredible artform to our listeners.

We’ll be chatting about KUUDA’s journey, the growing Australian beatbox scene, and what it takes to compete at the highest level.

And of course, KUUDA will be giving us a live beatbox performance in the Spit Fire Sessions—something we’ve never had on the show before! 👀🔥

Don’t miss this one!
