Summary

Andy Arthur Smith is a singer, songwriter, and internet force of nature with 5.1M followers on TikTok (100M+ likes) and 1.1M on Instagram. Often described as “Jim Carrey meets Jacob Collier,” he combines elastic, absurd humor with mind-blowing musical ability by delivering powerhouse vocals, tight harmonies, and genre-jumping arrangements that feel as hilarious as they are impressive. What started as wildly creative short-form videos has grown into a full-fledged artist project. Andy’s debut EP Shortcut is a whirlwind blend of pop, jazz fusion, soul, and funk, showcasing both his technical chops and emotional depth. Whether he’s belting a hook, stacking harmonies, or slipping into a character mid-song, his performances feel unpredictable and electric. Previous collaborations include Vulfmon, GRAMMY-winning 8-Bit Big Band, KNOWER, and Straight No Chaser.
