Self-described as "just this guy from Topeka, Kansas who kind of blew up on the Internet about a week before Christmas", McKee became one of Candyrat Records' best-selling artists after their video of "Drifting" was massively supported by users at the social news website Digg.com. For a time, three of McKee's videos were concurrently the three most watched on all of YouTube.
In the wake of this exposure, he appeared by invitation on Last Call with Carson Daly, and he contributed to Josh Groban's 2007 Grammy-nominated Christmas album, Noël, playing guitar on the song "Little Drummer Boy". Groban's album went on to become the best-selling CD of 2007 in the U.S. hitting #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200.
In 9 years and 5 records Andy McKee has written a collection of songs that inspire and intrigue legions of fans all corners of the world. His active tour schedule — more than 200 dates from Albuquerque to Jakarta to Zurich and everything in between — and his fan-first commitment have made him a worldwide ambassador for a new era in acoustic virtuosity.
