The man is David Shingy, and here's everything you need to know about him:
1. He's AOL's "Digital Prophet," which means he "works across the globe to identify new opportunities for the business," according to his personal site.
2. He's an Australian, currently based in New York. (We love his accent, which you can hear here.)
3. He's a self-proclaimed "accidental songwriter," and he wrote an album called "Love Letters." The album, Shingy says, is something that "he wrote and recorded in two weeks in secret for my babe." Our personal favorite jam off the LP is a song called "Little Darling."
