Andrew Byron Bachelor (born June 26, 1988), better known by his stage name King Bach (/bætʃ/ BATCH), is a Canadian-American[1] Internet comedian and actor who rose to fame on the now-defunct video sharing service Vine, on which he was the most-followed user with 16.2 million followers.[2][3]

Bachelor ventured into acting, first receiving recognition for starring on the Adult Swim series Black Jesus (2014–2015). He rose to mainstream prominence for his roles in the comedy films Meet the Blacks and Fifty Shades of Black (both 2016), the teen romance films When We First Met and To All the Boys I've Loved Before (both 2018), the horror comedy films The Babysitter (2017) and The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020), and the disaster film Greenland (2020).

Bachelor also has a TikTok account with 28.3 million followers[4] and runs a YouTube channel with over 3.5 million subscribers.[5]

Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

Bachelor was born in the neighbourhood of Rexdale in Toronto, Ontario to Jamaican parents, accountants Ingrid Mourice and Byron Bachelor.[6][7] He has one younger sister named Christina. He was two years old when he moved with his family to United States and grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida. His strict parents raised him in a Christian household.[8]

He attended Coral Springs Charter School for both middle school and high school. After graduating, Bachelor enrolled at Florida State University, where he competed in the high jump.[9][10] While a student, he was a member of 30in60, a sketch comedy troupe.[citation needed] He graduated from Florida State University in 2010, with a degree in business management. While at Florida State, Bachelor pledged and became a member/brother of Phi Beta Sigma.[9] Afterwards, he enrolled in a graduate program at the New York Film Academy, but dropped out in his last semester and moved to Los Angeles.[11] He then studied improvisational theatre at The Groundlings.[12]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Bachelor earned 16.2 million followers and over 6.1 billion loops on Vine, ranking first on the app for number of followers.[2] He took the title of most-followed person on Vine in March 2015.[13] Though best known for Vine,[2] Bachelor is also known for his YouTube channel, BachelorsPadTv.[14] Bachelor has stated that he turned down most requests to upload sponsored Vines.[15]

Bachelor's Vine stardom led to him signing with UTA, and landing a recurring role in House of Lies.[16][17] In addition, he was a recurring cast member on Wild 'n Out on MTV2. He was also on a series regular on the Adult Swim series Black Jesus,[8] and had a recurring role on The Mindy Project. Bachelor also had a role in the spoof comedy film Fifty Shades of Black, and was a special guest host for the revived version of Punk'd on BET. He appeared as a fictional version of himself in the 2015 film We Are Your Friends.

Bachelor was introduced to Vine by Brittany Furlan, before uploading his first Vine video on April 19, 2013.[11] He starred in several of Bart Baker's parodies of music videos, portraying Big Sean in "Problem" and "Break Free", Pharrell Williams in "Happy", Juicy J in "Dark Horse", and Tupac Shakur in the parody for Sia's "Big Girls Cry".

Bach co-starred in McG's horror film The Babysitter.[18] He reprised his role in the sequel The Babysitter: Killer Queen.[19]

Bach released his debut album, "Medicine", on August 31, 2019. He released two singles from the album. "Say Daddy" was released on February 14, 2019, and "HTH" was released on May 31, 2019.

Bach also has made several songs, including "See Me Now" which he released on February 21, 2021. Bach sent a TikTok telling people to use the sound of a song and that he would duet the best ones. Bach later posted the song onto YouTube, Spotify and SoundCloud.[4][20] In 2023, Bach was featured in the music video for "TRUCK BED" by country artist HARDY.
