Baba has performed at in-person and virtual events produced by Google, IBM, TEDx, Accenture, Alteryx, Tricentis, DLD, BSR, AGU, and The World Parks Congress. His sets combine science-themed rap songs with improvised freestyles incorporating word suggestions from the crowd, as well as custom-written “Rap Up” summaries that provide an uplifting conclusion to any event. See below for the full set of custom-content offerings available.

A “Rap Up” is a custom-written song that summarizes an event, composed during the proceedings and performed as the grande finale, an exercise in rapid-fire creativity and a unique comedy experience.

A cross between a lyrical sketch artist and a stand-up comic, Baba celebrates and satirizes in his signature tongue-in-cheek punchline style, name-checking each of the speakers and weaving the event’s central messages into an original rap anthem, tailored and performed exclusively for your attendees.

Baba Brinkman’s interactive virtual “Freestyle Set” gives your audience a live dialogue with an improvising artist in real time, and a chance to witness one of the most entertaining and demanding tasks performed by the human brain. Rapid-fire rhymes respond in seconds to suggestions posted in a comment thread or chat stream – the more scientifically complex, the more entertaining the challenge!

Partially written and partially improvised, Baba’s signature “Freestyle Tracks” elevate improvisation by putting it into a new and thought-provoking frame, connecting spontaneous creativity with themes from business, science, and technology.

An avid freestyler since 2002, Baba Brinkman has won multiple battles and performed improv rap on stage in front of thousands of people alongside Steven Hawking and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
