Andrea Russett discusses popular teen topics in her videos.Andrea Russett is more than your average high school dropout.
Since the big decision to leave school after moving to California due to a new found career and the realization that learning in a classroom wasn’t meant for her, Russett has accomplished more than she dreamed.
Russett, 21, is originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and got her taste with creating content online when she made a video to enter a Justin Bieber meet and greet and contest. The video got over a 1,000 views and helped launch Russett to where she is today.
Since the contest, she has constantly uploaded videos weekly which voice her opinions, bring light to charities she is happy to be apart of, such as the Thirst Project, and even does comedy videos to reach out to viewers.
She has even been the first to help create the first ever Snapchat film “Sickhouse” which starred Russett, Laine Neil, Sean O’ Donnell, and Lukas Gage on the journey to find the legend of the ‘Sickhouse’ in a live documentary.
Over the years as well she has accumulated over 3.6 million Instagram followers, over 2 million subscribers, and far over 2 million Twitter followers.
