Toyota Brings Hip Hop Pioneer Doug E. Fresh to Perform Live At The Opening Day of the 2016 New York International Auto Show
NEW YORK, March 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor North America, as a part of its 2016 New York International Auto Show presence, will bring Toyota Music in Motion to life during a live performance in the Toyota exhibit featuring the "Original Human Beat Box" and Hip Hop Legend Doug E. Fresh. Doug E. Fresh will perform several of his classic hits demonstrating his mastery of the craft of beat boxing providing note-perfect imitations of drum machines, effects and samples of hip-hop classics for the audience to experience.
The performance is inspired by the Toyota Avalon "Music in Motion" digital series featured last month on Interactive One's digital platform. The digital content segments feature musical artists Doug E. Fresh and Jay Electronica, paired with visual artists to celebrate the spirit of the "rule breaker" who chooses the road less traveled and rarely shies away from a challenge – much like the Toyota Avalon – the car for successful "rule breakers."
