Andrea Russett (born June 27, 1995[1]) is an American actress and Internet personality active on Snapchat, Instagram, Vine, and YouTube.[2][3] In 2016, she starred in the thriller film Sickhouse, which initially released via brief increments on her Snapchat account.[4]
Life and career
Russett began broadcasting on YouTube during her early teens, when she created a music video as part of a contest to meet Justin Bieber, [5] which ended up in his movie Never Say Never.
She attended a private Catholic high school until her junior year, at which point she moved to California after signing a contract with Fullscreen and began attending an online school.[6] Russett left the program during her final year, as she felt that "everybody learns differently and I don’t learn by reading and writing a report. I need to be doing something to learn.”[6]
In 2013 Russett began designing her own clothing line, FLAWD Clothing.[7]
In 2014 worked as a radio DJ in Fort Wayne, Indiana[8]
Personal Life
Russett has one sister named Anna.[9] She was in a relationship with fellow YouTube star Kian Lawley[10], but the couple broke up in mid-2014.
