Drake

Aubrey Drake Graham, better known by his stage name Drake, was born on October 24, 1986, in Toronto, Canada. With a mixed heritage of African American and Jewish Canadian, Drake's cultural roots played a significant role in shaping his music career. His parents' divorce when he was five years old led him to live with his mother in Toronto's predominantly Jewish neighborhood. Despite the challenges, Drake's early love for performing arts saw him land a role in the Canadian teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation at the age of 15, setting the stage for his future stardom. Drake's musical journey began in 2006 with the release of his first mixtape Room for Improvement. Two more mixtapes followed, but it was the third, So Far Gone, that propelled him into the limelight, featuring hits like "Best I Ever Had" and "Successful". In 2009, he signed with Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment, marking his entry into mainstream music. His debut studio album Thank Me Later (2010) debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and established his reputation as a formidable presence in the hip-hop industry. Over the course of his career, Drake has released numerous chart-topping albums, including Take Care (2011), Nothing Was the Same (2013), and Views (2016), each showcasing his unique fusion of rap, R&B, and pop. His lyrical prowess, coupled with his emotive delivery, has earned him a slew of awards, including multiple Grammy Awards. Moreover, his influence extends beyond music, with ventures in fashion, sports, and technology, solidifying his status as not just an artist, but a global icon. Despite his meteoric rise, Drake remains deeply connected to his hometown of Toronto, often incorporating the city's culture and dialect into his music, thereby bringing its unique flavor to the global stage.
