Andrew Huang (musician)

Andrew Lewis Huang (born April 8, 1984[2]) is a Canadian musician, YouTube personality, and video producer.

At the age of 20, Huang developed a hearing loss issue overnight that medical professionals have been unable to explain.

[13] After little success finding a part-time job during his university studies, Huang began auctioning off his songwriting skills to the highest bidder on eBay.

[15][16] The popularity of the site grew as Huang also began to take on commissions for free, provided the song idea interested him.

[16][17] What resulted was an eclectic archive of hip hop, classical, doo wop, electronic, folk, rock and heavy metal tunes performed entirely by Huang.

[18] Huang's channel is known for a wide variety of musical genres, influences, and projects, often thematically focused.

In November 2010, Huang uploaded the song "Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows" (PFUDOR) on his YouTube channel.

One of his early efforts was released a week before AMC's Breaking Bad aired its series finale, featuring a cover of its unsettling title music using clandestine chemistry equipment.

[32][33] He provided instrumentation and songwriting for Hank Green and the Perfect Strangers' Incongruent, and toured across the United States with the band.

[35] In 2010, Huang teamed up with musician and internet personality Gunnarolla to produce videos and music, including the popular series We Are What You Tweet and New State Plates.

[citation needed] Huang and Gunnarolla later created electropop music duo Dreamz.

[37][38] In 2008, Huang entered a contest run by American Express and won a chance to develop a music project with Emily Haines, lead vocalist for Canadian indie band Metric.

In June 2019, Andrew began a new project with YouTuber and science educator Hank Green, Journey to the Microcosmos, a YouTube channel uploading short videos of microscope slides accompanied by voiceovers explaining different mechanisms of microscopic biological life.

In April 2023, Huang launched a new project with YouTuber and musician Rob Scallon called Sonic Boom, a YouTube music show where the pair take on a variety of musical challenges often utilizing unusual instruments, time limits for creating full songs, and other factors.
