A versatile composer, he is unable to be pinned down to any one genre of music. As a producer he has created work for companies such as WWF, US Bank and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet; as a songwriter and performer he has toured 6 countries. Last fall he worked with Emily Haines of Metric to create a music and video installation piece at The Four Seasons Centre in Toronto.
Huang developed a near-cult following in his early twenties as the creative force behind Songs To Wear Pants To, an online musical comedy project that invites anyone to send him instructions for songs - of which he's created over 600 since 2004.
More recently he has become a well-known YouTube personality, his self-produced content and grassroots approach garnering him over 6 million views in the past year alone. With more by-request musical exploits, dialogues created from user submissions, and eccentric, time-intense pieces - watch him create a beat with 1000 pairs of jeans! - his work continues to hit a sweet spot between sound, picture and audience interaction.
Vass Tunga
Andrew Huang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How are you? this emcee wows
Fem språk from buenos dias to 你好
¿De quién est le meilleur habilidad? 我的
I′ve been training to make hot moves - 火车
Låt mig visa dig how, i'll do it now
Som gör detta mejor que yo? 我不知道
Jag pratar med en vass tunga, and i may be 黄色
No one does this like huang
Ingen gör det som jag
听一点 快啦 是烫 como la playa
Je sais que vous aimez le son
Je vois clairement, 你只有一个 dim fog
Let me illuminate, ge mig en trumslag
También un micrófono, ces idiots 没有口
他们喝太多的酒, try to succeed, they don′t though
I'm flying right past them, son gatitos, soy un dragón
Jag flyger förbi dem, 只是猫，我是龙
Just rhymed la même chose deux fois en quatre langues
I'm blowing up this year, giving you lip bomb
算了！ 我唱歌, my songs flow
Mon ton beau leaves wack rappers in tombeaux
Huang dödar dikter todo el mundo
Ne le sait pas encore, they will soon though
人说不 i′m bad on form, kanske uttalet
Nada es tan loco como este if we′re truthful
Take drastic measures, quand je dis dieciséis
Mi hablar es 非常好, and it's just a phase
