I was very surprised to find out that Drew did the whole thing himself, except for some of the editing.

The website "All Over Albany" did a piece on Drew. The song was written for a "Pi Day" contest at his school.

Drew pays great attention to detail in this and his other video and I am sure we'll see many more fantastic videos from him and his friends. I'm already subscribed to his channel, waiting for more.
