Mini Biography:

 Early Life

Aubrey Drake Graham was born on October 24, 1986. Drake grew up with music in his blood. His father, Dennis Graham, was a drummer for legendary rock star Jerry Lee Lewis, and Drake says that his mother, Sandi Graham, also hails from a "very musical" family.

 

 

 

 

Degrassi' Star

In 2001, Drake landed a role on the
 Canadian teen drama series Degrassi:The Next Generation. Drake starred on Degrassi for seven years (2001-09), earning a 2002 Young Artist Award for best ensemble in a TV series,among other honors.  
 

Hip-Hop Fame

While still staring on Degrassi, Drake began attempting his transition into the world of hip-hop. He released his first mix tape, Room for Improvement, in 2006.It achieved sales around approximately 6,000 copies. He followed that with the 2007 release of another mix tape, Comeback Season. Comeback Season included Drake's first hit single and music video, "Replacement Girl," which was featured as the New Joint of the Day on BET's popular hip-hop television show 106 & Park. Ever since then, Drake has continued to release new music to share with the world and especially his fans. Day by day Drake grows and improves as a music artist.

Currently

Now, in the year 2014, Drake has progressed over the years into becoming a very famous music artist. He is currently working on a new album, Views of the Six. It is expected to release sometime next year in 2015. Drake still has much more to share with the world. I believe that his music journey is just now beginning and one day, he will become a legend. 

 

 

Like they say, a picture is worth 1,000 words! Above is my “wordle” that I created. All of the words represent what I feel makes up Drake as a music artist.

Listen to one of my favorite songs by Drake below!

·        This song is called "Hold On We're Going Home" by Drake featuring Majid Jordan. 

·         This song is from Drake's latest album, Nothing Was The Same.

Here are the lyrics:

[Verse]
I got my eyes on you, you're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you, you left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

[Hook]
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on, we're going home
Just hold on, we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on, we're going home

[Verse + Hook]

[Bridge: Majid Jordan]
You're the girl, you're the one
Gave you everything I loved
I think there's something, baby
I think there's something, baby

[Hook]
