Andi Young is an Australian artist of Chinese descent. He started to learn violin at the age of 4 and vocals and dance at the age of 8.[4] While attending high school he participated in talent shows and toured around Europe.[5] After Europe, he relocated to South Korea to pursue K-pop training. His Korean period was one of the most difficult times of his life due to an extreme gap in communication, yet it contributed heavily to shaping him up as a singer.[6] After Korea Young moved to Australia where he applied for being a composition student at a music conservatory. But later, encouraged by the head of the composition department, Young passed up formal training in favour of creating the music his own way.[5]
