Drake (born Aubrey Drake Graham on October 24, 1986)
hails from Toronto, Canada. Before becoming an
up-and-coming rap star, Drake was an actor. Drake
joined the cast of Degrassi:
The Next Generation (a Canadian teen TV show) when he was
13 playing 'Jimmy Brooks' until 2009. In 2007, Drake
appeared in the film Charlie
Bartlett.
Before finishing up his acting role, Drake began
releasing mixtapes (Room For Improvement and
Comeback Season) through his MySpace page.
Drake's music eventually made it Lil Wayne which resulted in Drake
touring with the rap superstar. In 2009, Drake
started his journey toward solo hip hop stardom with
a few hits and multiple appearances on other artist's
tracks - all in preparation for his much-anticipated
debut LP. Drake's upbringing was hardly the story
often associated with rap stars. Drake was born to an
African-American father with many music associations,
and a white, Jewish, Canadian mother. He was raised
by his mom in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood
after his parents split when he was very young.
Drake's acceptance of his musical fate came when:
“My dad was in jail for two years and he shared
a cell with this dude who didn’t really have
anyone to speak to. So, he used to share his phone
time with this dude and at the time I was probably 16
or 17, this dude was like 20 or 22, and he would
always rap to me over the phone—it was Poverty,
that was his rap name. I started to get into it and I
started to write my own s*** down. He would call me
and we would just rap to each other. And after my dad
got out I kept in touch with the dude and eventually
I accepted the fact that I wanted to be in
music.”
Drake could be heard on the Page LP Page on the track "I'm Still
Fly," the Colin Munroe LP Colin
Munroe Is The Unsung Hero on the track
"Cannon Ball," and the mixtape
Dedication 3 on the track
"Stuntin'."

Intuition on the track
"Digital Girl (Remix)".
