―Fandroid's gaming channel intro | ||
Fandroid Music / Griffinilla (also known as Fandroid MUSIC! or formerly Fandroid Music Group (FMG), or simply just Fandroid), is an American YouTuber who creates songs based around certain games, via the suggestion of subscribers. He also has a gaming channel, Fandroid GAME.
Personality[]
Fandroid, as a character, is a talking computer with a robot body. He has robot arms with claws, a stereo as his torso, and a wheel for moving around and upright support. His face is blue and lacks animation, but can change into expressions and even mimic the faces of game characters. He also wears headphones which can change color on the inside.
Being a computer, he speaks and sings in a robotic, autotuned voice.
Label[]
Around May 23, 2019, the channel was rebranded from Fandroid MUSIC! to Fandroid Music Group - FMG, and a (now deleted) X-post was pinned to the top of Fandroid's X stating the following:
- Fandroid Music
- > is turning into >
- FANDROID MUSIC GROUP
- FMG- a Record Label supporting new and old music from artists like Fandroid, Griffinilla, Shadrow, and more!
- So excited for the future! Let’s go!!!
This appeared to be the start of an indie label run by Fandroid, with Griffinilla, Shadrow, and Melody (a female robotic counterpart to Fandroid) currently signed to the label. The idea seems to now have been abandoned, however, as the Youtube banner on Fandroid's channel advertising the label has since been removed.
Rebranding?[]
On May 13, 2020, Fandroid posted this on his X-
- To all my fans: I’m sorry, I know I’ve been inactive for months, but I just haven’t felt much passion for making Fandom music recently. Efforts to kickstart that drive have failed. I think it’s time to go in a new direction with my music, and music videos.
This was in response to his fans' concern over his recent inactivity on his Youtube channels, and, later on, his socials. By the looks of it, it seems a rebranding of the channel is underway, and fans have called into question whether Fandroid will still be making music, or if the channel will go an entirely new direction and retire Fandroid once and for all.
At the moment, however, it is safe to say Fandroid and the channels associated with him are currently inactive, if not retired, and may be for quite some time. However, it must be noted how the official Fandroid X account still has "(FMG)" in the name.
Channel Hacking[]
On January 7, 2021, Fandroid's channel was hacked and turned into an Etherium Fund scam channel. Around this time, Fandroid came out of dormancy to X-post-
Fandroid Music/Griffinilla was hacked. Terrible news. I’ve been told all the content will be recovered, hopefully within a week. Thanks for continued support over the years.
On January 11, the Fandroid channel was restored under the current pseudonym of Fandroid Music / Griffinilla, with an accompanying X-post sent out at around the same time.
Fandroid Music / Griffinilla is BACK! Please give your favorite song a listen and a share, the channel needs your help
It is unknown who was the person behind this hack.
Comeback[]
On January 16, 2023, Fandroid posted on X that he was "back from the war". What this war eludes to was not stated, though we may learn in the future, especially now with the date that was put into his video on the 23rd.
On January 23, 2023, Fandroid posted a video on X titled "incoming_transmission.mp4". The video is distorted and staticky, and both Fandroid and Melody appear for a few seconds. Melody sets up the camera and points it to Fandroid. Fandroid does his signature introduction, but the video cuts to static before he can finish. The date 1/27/2023 appears on screen at the end of the video when it is clouded with static.
Fandroid returned on January 27, 2023 with a stream. He is now voiced by X user @ragtagstuff instead of Griffinilla. Future content is planned to be made, and both Fandroid and Melody said they would keep the fans updated.[1]
On October 23, 2023, Fandroid X-posted "Time Keeps Ticking! Griffinilla returns... this Halloween". On the 27th, he X-posted "Are you ready, Freddy?"
On Oct 27, 2023, Fandroid posted a new song to his youtube channel, titled "TIME KEEPS TICKING", themed after the soon-to-be released Five Nights At Freddie's movie.

Trivia[]
- Formerly, not much was known about Fandroid's true identity, but it has since been confirmed the person behind Fandroid is actually Griffin Lewis (a.k.a. Griffinilla).
- Theories about Fandroid being Griff circulated before they were confirmed, based on how Griff was the old channel owner (his songs can still be found on the channel, and his current channel can be found here), and his X description formerly stated Creator of @fandroidrobot
- Griffin Lewis is also a co-creator of the popular web series, My Little Pony, Friendship is Witchcraft along with Jenny Nicholson, under the pseudonym Sherclop Pones .
