A musical dad has devised up with an ingenious way of getting his baby to stop crying.

David DeVaul, 33, has discovered that beatboxing is a sure-fire way to grab his son Waylon’s attention.

The musician from Nashville, Tennessee, says he came up with the idea when he was trying to find a way to connect with his eight-month-old.

DeVaul noticed that when his son was looking for her attention he would roll his lips, so one day decided to mimic this and it developed into a full beatboxing routine.
