From Six Seconds to a Studio: How King Bach Turned Viral Fame Into Creative Power

Every era has its disruptor. For comedy and content, that name is King Bach.

Andrew Bachelor — the man behind the crown — built an empire out of six seconds. At the height of Vine, he wasn’t just viral; he was culture. The Guinness World Record holder for most followers on the platform, Bach turned micro-skits into macro influence, pioneering the blueprint for the digital creator economy long before “content creator” was a career title.

But while others stopped at fame, Bach kept building.

The Power Move: Building 6.4 Studios and Taking Ownership

Now, he’s flipping his viral legacy into something even greater — ownership.

In Los Angeles, Bach recently opened his own production house, 6.4 Studios, a nod to the 6.4 million followers that once earned him the “King of Vine” title. The move marks more than a business venture; it’s a declaration of independence.

“I wanted to create a place where I could tell stories the way I see them,” Bach says. “If I can help other creatives while building my own projects, that’s the win-win I’ve always believed in.”

Inside that new space, he’s already developing his passion project, a horror-comedy called Black Lotus — a story he describes as “fun, bold, and different,” mirroring his career itself.

Expanding the Empire: A Stake in The Zeus Network

Ownership isn’t new territory for Bach. It’s part of his DNA.

He’s also a part owner of The Zeus Network, the Black-owned streaming platform known for its unapologetic, creator-driven content. The move further cements Bach’s shift from talent to titan, placing him in a small but growing class of entertainers building platforms instead of simply performing on them.

“Zeus was all about us creating something we owned,” he says. “We built it from the ground up — no middlemen, no waiting for permission. That’s what made it powerful.”

The partnership extends his mission of control and community — from producing short-form comedy to shaping the next wave of digital entertainment infrastructure.

No Off Days: The Obsession That Built a Career

The journey wasn’t easy, and Bach’s work ethic borders on obsession.

“I would wake up at 7 a.m. and shoot videos until the sun went down,” he recalls. “If I had an idea at 2 or 3 in the morning, I’d grab a camera and film. There were no holidays, no off days. I sacrificed everything — not because I wanted fame or money, but because I loved it.”

That love translated into an enviable run. Bach crossed from short-form comedy into full-blown Hollywood, starring in films like “Fifty Shades of Black,” “Meet the Blacks,” “The Babysitter,” and “Where’s the Money.” He became a fixture on screens big and small but never lost his digital pulse.

Even now, with nearly 60 million followers across Instagram and TikTok, Bach isn’t chasing numbers; he’s chasing growth.

“It’s hard work if you’re just chasing the fame and fortune,” he says. “It’s not hard work if you love what you do. I was addicted to creating, and I still am.”

The Blueprint: Mutual Wins and Creative Currency

Behind the laughs is a strategy that’s pure business sense.

“One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was, don’t ask for favors unless it’s mutually beneficial,” he says. “If you can make it valuable for both sides, people will always be more receptive. That’s something I live by.”

It’s an ethos that defines his next chapter. Whether it’s shooting a new skit, writing a script, or developing another series under 6.4 Studios or Zeus, Bach is focused on mutual wins, where every move elevates both the artist and the art.

6.4 Studios and The Zeus Network together form his dual blueprint: one for creating, one for distributing — both rooted in creative control.

The Addiction to Create: Still Writing, Still Building

Even with his résumé stacked and studio doors open, Bach hasn’t slowed.

“I’m constantly writing. Even before this interview, I was in the back office working on a script,” he laughs. “Any downtime I get, I’m working. But I don’t look at it as work — it’s just what I enjoy.”

That joy is the through-line. It’s in his timing, his tone, and his tenacity. King Bach represents the modern creative: part comedian, part businessman part mogul in the making.

He’s not chasing viral moments anymore. He’s building moments that last.

And if history’s any indication, he’ll keep finding ways.

“No holidays. No off days. I sacrificed everything — not because I wanted fame or money, but because I loved it.”
