Andrew 'Drew' Jungerwood

---

2:00 AM The day before he needed to arrive in Philly. A motel in Monroeville. Andrew Jungerwood was exhausted from the drive from Colorado to Philadelphia. He had checked in the previous day at 3:00 AM, deciding he could get a couple hours sleep and end up in Philly within the day. It seems he got a bit too much sleep, ordered room service and spent the rest of the day in his room, only realising his mistake half way through a rather pleasent dream.

Sprinting downstairs, quickly handing in his key to the groggy receptionist, Andrew contemplated the long drive ahead. Google maps said it should take four and a half hours. Dammit. Traffic permitting as well. His car was, unfortunately, quite old. He was loaded now, sure, but he never spent the money on a car. Adjusting his car in the rearview mirror, he pulled away from the motel, fearful of the journey that lay ahead. He wasn't scared of the new record deal, or the resulting insomnia. He was scared getting a severe case of road rage that could only be cured via doughnuts. 'Tis torture.

---

By the time he reached Endeavor, having spent five hours driving and the rest sleeping in a lay-by, he was as exhausted and irritable as humanly possible. Well, he was, until he ate his way through three doughnuts, though he was still pissed at that one DJ who played some awful Taylor Swift single one thousand times, or maybe more. All he wanted to do was lie down and watch reruns of Twin Peaks all day. Alas, part of him really wanted this deal. Finally a company that didn't want him just because they reckoned they could monetize him. His last deal with his uncle was painful? It started off fine, until dear Uncle Mikey decided that Andrew would be better as a brooding pop singer. No dice.

Pulling up in front of the studio, dark rings forming rapidly under his eyes, Andrew decided to unload his car later. He was also moving into the new apartments, so a brought a lot of luggage. He felt weirdly confident, strutting down the hallway, the heels of his boots making a louder sound than he thought. He turned the corner, following the sound of voices. The mention of food. Honestly, this studio was going to rock. The first thing he heard was about pizza, they had him at pizza.

Slicking back his hair, Andrew cautiously entered the room, blocked by the woman with the pizza. Be waited until she had stopped talking, before adressing the woman in front of him. "I daresay you shouldn't block the doorway." His voice was strange, oddly low and steady. Almost quite eerie. He reached over her shoulder, opening the box and tearing a piece free. He then sold past her, leaning against the wall, quickly wolfing down the pizza slice.

Andrew Jungerwood

║ Name ║
Andrew 'Drew' Jungwood

║ Birthday & Age ║
26 years old, born on November 6th 1991

║ Gender & Sexual Orientation ║
Male, bisexual

║ Occupation ║
Singer-songwriter

║ Appearance ║
Andrew stands at 6'1", with an unusually broad chest and unusually slight shoulders. His skin is pale from one too many hours spent indoors. His hair used to be entirely dark blonde, but during his youth, his search for self-expression led him to dying the top of his hair black. He originally did not like this, but as time went on he got rather attached to his blonde roots. The black has now faded, but in a certain light it is possible to make out small specks is it. He keeps his curly hair in a side parting, preferring to have his hair out of his face. His eyes are grey, and quite hostile, usually involuntarily. On his upper back, Drew has a large tattoo of a pair of black wings, and two piercings in his upper left ear, more bad decisions from his teenage years.

His style mainly consists of many plain shirts, scarves, cords and leather jackets. People say that's an odd mix, but he believes it works quite well. He can be formal and casual at the same time. He calls this a multi-tasking wardrobe, and it has been catching the public eyes since he was 21. His on-stage store consists of his almost iconic white trench coat.



║ Personality ║
Drew's mind is not always said to be on planet Earth. He is known as a dreamer, a man with a great mind that spends its time in fantastical worlds. Drew loves ambiguity, mystery and the macabre. He is a very strange man, withdrawn and eccentric, obsessed with the darker side of humanity. This led to what his fans call genius, but he calls luck. People have said that he is hard to get along with because of his peculiarities and unpredictability, however those who know him well know that he can be a very exciting person to know, always coming up with new ideas. A loyal man who would die for those he cares about, with a romantic streak reflected in his more famous songs. He can be intense when taken with one of his ideas, and has given up many hours of sleep trying to perfect one song. Eventually, everyone who cares to get to know him find this: he's just a man trying to prove that life is exciting once you let go of fact and concentrate on possibility.


║ My Dreams ║
To show the world that idiosyncracy and oddity are better than the norm.

║ Autobiography ║
Born to a dull, middle class family in Fort Collins, Colorado, Drew has a disturbingly conventional upbringing. His parents were very odd people, he could remember that from a young age that they never supported his peculiarities. Whilst his parents would have had him outside playing football with the other boys, he would rather stay indoors with an Alice Cooper album, sitting in front of his record player and losing himself in the blaring guitars.

As a little boy, he had a strange love of hard rock bands that only grew as he got older, accumulating with him standing outside his girlfriend's window at age 16, singing "I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith. His odd tastes for a boy of that age made him an outcast, but he never minded. He had a couple of friends, and the most wonderful girlfriend in the world. Eventually, his academics overtook his life, and he had no time for the music he once cherished.

Until he reached age 21. After foolishly proposing, his girlfriend of five years left him. He was distraught, and found himself letting out his anger the only way he knew how. Music. The song he wrote that evening inspired him. Make an album. After getting his parents to help him, he got a deal with his uncle's record label. His album 'Darling, I'm Nothing' named after the song that started his career was a smash hit among the emo community, making him an overnight sensation. He finally saw a way to inspire people into following his life philosophy and letting go of the norm.

But his uncle only saw money. After his next two albums 'The Smell of Gasoline' and 'Don't Feed The Lions', his uncle started to try and sort out his music, telling Drew that he'll never get anywhere if he doesn't abandon his mysterious loner image and become mainstream, threatening to pull his contract. After a years worth of negotiations, Drew spotted Endeavor Records. The perfect place to persue his passion.

║ Reputation ║
People associate Drew with his insane concerts, full of explosions, fireworks, fire and occasionally motorcycle stunts. He is known as an unpredictable showman. One critic said "If Ed Sheeran became an emo, and got the showmanship of Alice Cooper and the explosions of a Micheal Bay film, he would be Andrew Jungerwood." Many know that in person he is as out there and intense as his concerts. Some people thinks he's a pretentious oddball, some think he's a creative genius, but they all know he has talent.
