Kyle Andrews is an American indie rock songwriter and performer born in Chicago and based in Nashville, Tennessee.[1]
Career
[edit | edit source]Andrews has released albums on Portland's Badman Recording Co. as well as his own Elephant Lady Records imprint.[2]
His 2010 song "You Always Make Me Smile" (co-written with friend Neil Mason) was featured in a worldwide Holiday Inn ad.[3] Andrews worked with students from the BYU AdLab and ad agency McCann Erickson to concept a music video for the song.[4] The resulting music video was filmed in Provo, Utah,[5][6] featuring Andrews singing in the middle of an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest water balloon fight with 3927 participants and 120,021 water balloons.[7] The video went viral.[8][9]
His interactive video for "Sushi" (directed by Dennis Liu) was made from 1.4 million tiles, and thousands of unique YouTube video stills.[citation needed] In 2010 it was shortlisted for the Guggenheim's YouTube Play Exhibit.[10]
His music has been used in other TV shows and commercials, including a worldwide television ad for Dell ("We Were Colors")[11] and a national television ad for Doritos ("Bombs Away").[12][unreliable source?] "You Always Make Me Smile" also appeared in an episode of ABC's Grey's Anatomy.[13][original research?][failed verification]
Although Kyle performs as a first-name/last-name artist, and self-recorded the majority of his discography, he plays live with a full band.
Andrews' fifth album, Robot Learn Love, was released August 16, 2011.[14]
