Who is Boyinaband?

David Paul ‘Dave’ Brown, known better on the internet as Boyinaband, was born in Telford, Shropshire, England, on 2 August 1987 – his zodiac sign is Virgo, and he holds British nationality. He’s a singer-songwriter, rapper, actor, YouTuber, and a comedian, who’s perhaps known best for his eponymous YouTube channel, which he launched on 14 November 2007. The channel’s today subscribed to by more than 3.1 million people, and numbers over 330 million views of all his videos combined. Boyinaband uploads diverse content, including his music videos, reviews and ‘Q&A’ videos.

Early life and education

Boyinaband was raised alongside his younger sister Hannah in Telford, by their parents about whom nothing’s known, as Boyinaband and Hannah respect their privacy. His sister’s also a social media star and a YouTuber, known better online as WhiteEnglishGirl.

When Boyinaband was around five years old, the family moved to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, where they stayed until he turned 14. He then attended a local high school in England, and was mostly interested in music during his four years there, but also appeared in a couple of plays performed at the school. He was also into playing video games, and also enjoyed playing soccer with his friends.

Upon matriculating in 2005, he focused on his career as a musician, but also enrolled at a college, from which he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in computer games programming in 2009.

His most popular YouTube videos

Boyinaband has become popular for a couple of things, including for his sense of humor, and his attitude towards public schooling. We are going to mention three of his most popular YouTube videos, which have helped him become popular on the network.

His #1 video “Don’t Stay in School” has been watched over 44.4 million times since 2 February 2015, and is Boyinaband’s original song, about how schools teach children various irrelevant things which they might never need in life, instead of teaching them things more connected to the modern age in which we’re living.

His second most popular video “Making the song with TheOdd1sOut (Life is Fun – BTS)” has been watched more than 13.4 million times since 19 July 2018 – the title’s quite self-explanatory.

Boyinaband’s third most popular video – “Making the Song about Jaiden’s Anorexia (Empty – BTS)” – has been watched over 13.1 million times, and is a humorous song which Boyinaband and his friend Jaiden recorded about Bulimia and Anorexia.

His former band, You And What Army

In 2005, the rock band You And What Army was formed, comprising Boyinaband as the lead vocal, Kieran Charles Smith on the guitar, Jamie Hancox on the bass guitar, and Zak Hammond on the drums.

They began playing extensively in September 2007, and could’ve been heard in bars and clubs around England. On 5 June 2009, the boys released their debut extended play (EP) “Soundtrack to the Apocalypse”, produced and mastered by Boyinaband.

On 26 March 2010, the boys released their second EP “The End of the Beginning”, and the following year saw them perform at Sonisphere and at Download Festivals; they could’ve also been seen playing at Main Stage Osfest and Camden Crawl.

Their third EP came out in 2012, entitled “You and What Army”, and they once again performed at Download Festival.

It was on 10 July 2014 that the boys announced that they would no longer be playing together.

Solo music career

Boyinaband released two albums in 2013, entitled “Quite a Lot of Songs” and “Merry Christmix”, and has since mostly been focused on releasing singles and collaboration songs.

Love life and relationships. Gay?

According to some of the rumors circulating the internet, Boyinaband might be gay.

Some of his fans have claimed to have seen him spending time with a boy who could perhaps be his boyfriend, but no evidence has been provided to support these claims, nor has Boyinaband commented on this.

  1. I happen to have a crush on Boyinaband myself, and I wish to date him one day. If I had the option to tell people about how crutial it is to me that I date a celebrity, I would, but I am afraid my comment will be demonitized. So I will not say anything about it. But, fun fact, he is the only song writer I listen to now a days. But yes, he is a good person. There have been rumors that he is a dirty man, but I disagree. I do not believe he is a bad man, I in fact side with those who believe that he has done nothing wrong. Anyway, that’s my comment.
