Andrew Heitzman was born and raised just outside of Chicago, but, through his friendship with Producer Alvin Lee, he discovered a hidden kinship with the island of Taiwan.

Andrew graduated from NYU with a minor in history and a focus in East Asian Studies, And has become a student of Taiwanese political history.

Despite all of that, he credits Bruce Springsteen with helping him crack the story of Bai Bai. Andrew believes very strongly in the universality if daddy issues.
