I’m Drew. I’ve been singing live and in-studio for over 30 years, being introduced to vocals in an intense gospel-soul style, and brought that to my love for Chris Cornell, Jeff Buckley, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and the list goes on. I sing in a soul-inspired style, and competently sing in a wide range of notes (Ray Charles to Cornell and Buckley, no issues). I sing and play many styles with a passion for deep expression.

EQUIPMENT
Several high-end guitars, acoustic and electric, etc. In-studio the equipment list is extremely versatile (make any kind of music), and quite large. I use a high-end condenser mic live with my own effects unit tailored per song.
