Luke Taylor, the refreshingly unassuming winner of American Idol Season 20, is suddenly a very well-known name — in China. Texas taught himself to play guitar as a kid growing up on the coast of Galveston Bay. He learned various versions of a traditional work song called “Shenandoah” and kept playing it over and over again at get-togethers with friends. “It leaned a little bit folk, but you could still dance to it,” Taylor tells BuzzFeed News over the phone of the tune that he still comes back to today. Although he failed to win the title “American Idol,” Luke Taylor won the hearts of netizens when videos of his own compositions (known as shanties) combined with a traditional type of frigate sailing boat-rowing dance (known as hornpipe) became viral.
