Andy (Andrew) Kierans is a music production artist located in Ireland. From the art on his YouTube channel "AndyPRD" it seems he is living in the town of Drogheda, Co.Louth, in The Republic Of Ireland. Little is known about the aspiring musician except that he has reached platinum single status in Ireland per RIAA certification standards with his own remix of The Chainsmokers' "Don't Let Me Down"

Early Life
Kierans was born in Drogheda and has lived there for his whole life. He comes from a family of 5, including 2 sisters.

Career
While an exact timeframe isn't clear, the YouTube channel "AndyPRD" was created in 2014 with it's first upload coming in 2016. The channels bio reads "Focusing on music since 2017, specializing in instrumentals and producing. Freelance graphic designer. Self taught talent, living a self made dream. ATeamWorldWide"

While no record of graphic design takes space on the channel, it boasts a professional background banner and video graphics accustomed to that of a Graphic Design artist.

The channels first upload is titled "Chill background music - Don't let me down (Prod. AFX)" and sits just shy of 40,000 video views and an impressive like to dislike ratio of 670 likes to 15 dislikes at the time of writing. While the song sits at platinum status in Ireland per ammasing the required stream count, it is safe to believe Kierans is not set for monetary gain as he holds no rights to the original song.

There are several references to the "ATWW", an independent music group on his social medias, however it is currently unknown what part he has to play within the group. While having plenty of interaction with the group publicly it is not known whether it is a business or purely social relationship. The group's headlining artist "Abstract" responded to a tweet in 2017 in which he asked twitter user "amp" "Who is Andy (Laughing emoji)" before again replying stating "Andy will join us in LA this Summer if all goes according to plan, yes" It is not known if this is a reference to Kierans or someone else of the same name.

The YouTube channel in question has gone dark since May 2017 and it is unknown if Kierans left a life of music behind or is working on bigger projects behind the scenes, perhaps under a different alias
