An event producer who went from throwing multimillion-dollar parties on Wall Street to being ‘memed’ worldwide, Andy King shot to stardom after his involvement with the infamous Fyre Festival. Andy grew up in a privileged community in Massachusetts, and from an early age had a hustle mentality. He went on to cultivate a bustling career in NY. He built a restaurant and a hotel and was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. The organizers of Fyre Festival notably asked Andy to free up water provisions for the event, and well, the rest is history. Andy is the ultimate storyteller and has no problem embellishing a narrative to draw people in. While he may have lost his anonymity thanks to Fyre Fest, he couldn’t be more thrilled to get it back and wield it to his advantage in this competition. He’s playing because he knows he can win.
