Druski is an up-and-coming influencer, comedian, and now record label owner, who has taken the internet by storm through his creation of different forms of entertainment for newer generations.
Born on September 12, 1994, Andrew Desbordes, commonly known as Druski, started posting skits on Instagram in 2017, though he didn’t become a viral sensation until COVID-19. He got his viral nickname from shortening his name. He primarily uses platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to reach over one million followers. He also went so far as creating successful TV shows, such as “Coulda Been Love” and “Coulda Been Records.” Druski created his own record label called Coulda Been Records, where he signs aspiring artists.
Druski’s stardom has even gone on to be recognized in places like the BET awards, Twitch streaming, two movies, and meetings with other celebrities in the public spotlight. His colorations with comedy and adapting to different audiences are why many people find him entertaining. With his show “Coulda Been Records”, he has traveled to different parts of the world to find people who want to be in the entertainment industry, in areas such as music, dance and the media. It has become his way of going back to other communities, and where he can help others get a start in fame as he did. He wanted to provide more inclusion by not just traveling within the United States. He also traveled to different countries like Mexico, Jamaica, and the United Kingdom.
There have been incidents where his fame has created some mild controversy, and there are some people who still have mixed opinions about his comedy. Druski once did a skit about pretending to be a part of the Divine Nine fraternity ΩΨΦ. Many members of this fraternity took Druski’s skit as an offense, and showed up to his “Coulda Been Records” show in retaliation.
His popularity has an impact on communities in different places, to the point where some people have gotten their own fame and popularity from his social media platforms. Influencers such as Jason Pleasent, Yadrian, and Nina Lin were all previous guests on his shows and have expanded to their own personal platforms within the media.
Another one of his collaborators is Bambi, also known as Adizia Benson. She was one of the contestants, then later the winner, on Druski’s show “Coulda Been Love”. She first appeared on his other show, “Coulda Been Records”, as an entertainer and was considered a hit among his fan base. Druski and Bambi have made skits as a “couple” with a baby together. She has appeared on several of his tours and has gotten even more visibility with those who were initially unfamiliar with her.
Druski is experiencing major spikes in his stardom, with many of his fans admiring him. Being famous can have many ups and downs, but he is someone who knows how to manage it. Eventually, he plans to leave a legacy of laughter and entertainment in media.
