Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic, born on October 23rd, 1959, is a renowned American singer-songwriter and record producer who has become iconic for his lighthearted parodies of popular culture's most beloved music. His comedic songs have gained him acclaim both in the United States and around the world, earning him legions of loyal fans with each new release. At 16, he had the honor of having a comedic song aired on The Dr. Demento Radio Show in 1976 and has since been performing pastiches of other acts’ work as well as polka medleys that often feature his beloved accordion. After a career spanning nearly three decades, his work has seen him rewarded in grand fashion–five Grammy Awards and 11 further nominations, four gold records, and six platinum ones across the United States. In 2006 he finally cracked the top ten of Billboard with both Straight Outta Lynwood (a comedy album) as well as White & Nerdy (a single).
Although his covers of popular songs often steal the spotlight, there are over 30 beautiful originals non-parody from across his catalog that may go unnoticed. Achieving great success, Yankovic has remarkably utilized music videos to cleverly and humorously parody the original artist's songs. His most notable achievement was his record-breaking album Mandatory Fun (2014), which made its debut on the number-one spot in its first week. He is known for recreating scene-for-scene of popular culture and original music video parodies with accuracy and hilarity. Later on, he took matters into his own hands and directed videos himself. He continued to direct other world-renowned artists such as Ben Folds, Hanson, the Black Crowes, and the Presidents of The United States Of America. Yankovic's influence on the music industry is undeniable, as he has been an inspiration for many contemporary musicians and comedy shows.
With his self-indulgent leveraging the power of YouTube and other video sites, he released his videos as a way to combat the diminishing presence of music television; unsurprisingly, this strategic move substantially improved sales of his later albums. His YouTube channel has amassed over 5 million subscribers and over 1 billion views. With his Top 40 singles across the last four decades, he stands apart from other artists like Michael Jackson and Madonna as one of only three people to achieve this feat. Yankovic is a one-of-a-kind artist who puts on an unforgettable live show. His concerts are described as "rock and comedy multimedia extravaganzas" with production values, costume changes, video screens, and general mayhem that will leave you in awe. Show locations: UK The London Palladium, Kalamazoo State Theatre in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Brown County Music Center in Nashville, Indiana.
