Gripp had also written a song about the iPhone 4
in 2011 from the perspective of Steve Jobs, but fearing it
was in poor taste, Gripp removed it from YouTube when
he learned of Jobs’s passing in October of that year.
“My career has really been tied to iTunes and the
Apple stuff,” Gripp said. “I found out I could survive just
selling songs on iTunes. It is a remarkable thing. It kind of
gave me a career.”
Gripp posted more than 200 songs to his channel
from 2008 to 2012. He was even dubbed the “Weird Al
Yankovic of YouTube” by
Gawker
. He eventually retired
his channel after landing the gig with Disney, an oppor-
tunity he probably wouldn’t have gotten without his
silly tunes. “If I had tried to do this, it never would’ve
happened,” he said.
Appleman, the iPad Drummer
He has been described by
Digg
as the “sickest drummer
in metal right now,” with the speed, muscle, and snap to
become a legend — on the iPad, that is. The self-taught
musician and Apple fanboy from Japan, who goes by
Appleman, has gotten attention for his ability to finger-
tap rock drum solos. He uses the virtual rock kit on
GarageBand with eye-popping dexterity and a YouTube
channel is his stage.
