Andrew Huang Hosts The 2025 MIDI Innovation Award Show

Thursday, September 25, 2025 at 10am Pacific time

Andrew Huang is a musician, video creator, and bestselling author.

Despite being partially deaf, Andrew has been prolific, with hundreds of songs in his discography and an eclectic mix of other projects: He has composed for Blue Man Group, scored commercials for brands like Volvo and Google, created some of the ringtones that ship with Samsung phones, and developed a sound installation under the mentorship of Metric’s Emily Haines.

Besides composing and producing, he’s also spearheaded the creation of numerous music-making tools such as Ghost, Flip Sampler, and Transit, which won the 2025 Sound On Sound award for Best Software Plugin. His online music production course has been taken by tens of thousands of students, many of whom have gone on to work in the industry.

Andrew is best known for his YouTube channel, through which he’s inspired and educated millions of people with creative videos about all aspects of the music-making process. Most notably, his show 4 Producers 1 Sample has featured appearances from guests as wide-ranging as Hiatus Kaiyote, Son Lux, Daedelus, Flux Pavillion, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, AJR, Jamie Lidell, and Virtual Riot.

In 2024, Simon & Schuster published Andrew’s first book, Make Your Own Rules, in which he writes about his journey while extracting both practical and philosophical takeaways for anyone interested in honing their creative practice or pursuing it as a career.
