Andrew Wave also known as #RedCarpetBoy (born Andrejs Černuckis, and formerly known as andrejko.epta) is a Latvian content creator, social experimenter, and influencer recognized for his creative video content.
Career and content style
[edit]Andrew Wave began creating short videos and social experiments in 2019 on the streets of Riga, Latvia. While he initially focused on a local audience, he quickly shifted his strategy to target an international viewership, a move that led to exponential growth. Černuckis has publicly acknowledged the financial difficulties he faced at the beginning of his career, stating that he had to subsist on inexpensive instant noodles for half a year before his career took off.[1][2]
His content niche focuses on creative and cultural social experiments, typically delivered through short, high-impact videos. He gained recognition for projects where he transformed public transport (like buses or trams) into unusual settings, such as hosting traditional Latvian Līgo (Midsummer) celebrations or setting up romantic encounters for strangers, often playing the role of a modern-day Cupid.
Due to his glamorous transformations of mundane spaces, he is often referred to by the moniker #RedCarpetBoy.
Andrew Wave frequently travels internationally, collaborating with global brands and celebrities like Patrice Evra, Yuki Tsunoda, George Russell, Usher, Tommy Cash, Juventus FC, Inter Miami CF, FC Barcelona, Moto GP and more.
