He began his life with guitar 30+ years ago, and began writing songs in his early teens. His songs speak to the trials of life and love, with some humor, and his music is generally dynamic Rock/Pop with melodic lead guitar and crisp rhythms.

Born in Japan, Drew was raised in various places as his father moved around with the USAF. They eventually paused in Dover, New Jersey, for a time before finally moving to the Sussex County area where he attended high school and rehearsed or performed with different musicians and bands, eventually joining up with a keyboardist friend and forming a duo, performing cover tunes around northern NJ.
