‘Waiting for the End’ music video. Directed by Alexander Willems.
Featuring “The Dying Of” by Factor Eight
Award-winning ARTIST Factor Eight
builds cinematic soundscapes using only his voice. His work centres around mental health advocacy, which he embodies in a single philosophy: 'Fear, My Friend' — accepting and transforming the most challenging aspects of ourselves into sources of creative power rather than suppressing them.
His unique approach has earned significant recognition, including awards, prestigious editorials, and notable sync placements. Factor Eight music has been heard in productions and trailers from Paramount, Disney+, A24, MGM, and Apple TV — with credits including Gladiator II and the Oscar-winning Women Talking.
Native Instruments describes his practice as
"more than a technical decision [...] a personal method built around trust in his own instincts, careful attention to detail, and a long-term vision that ties his music and message together."
A three-time Saskatchewan Music Award winner, Western Canadian Music Award recipient, and SOCAN Foundation Award winner, Andrew's work extends beyond music into dance choreography, performance art, and interdisciplinary installations.
Through Factor Eight, Andrew connects with audiences across the globe hoping to inspire a feeling of connection among those who struggle, and sense of compassion among those who struggle to relate.
