Biography
Drake is a multiple Hip-Hop Grammy Award winner, whose albums do not go unnoticed by music critics and listeners. His album “Scorpion” is one of the 15 best compilations of 2018, and it is possible that some singles will enrich the musician’s shelf with awards.

Childhood and youth
On October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Canada, Aubrey Drake Graham was born into the family of African American Dennis Graham and Jewish woman Sandra Chef. The boy inherited a craving for music from his father – he was a drummer in the team of one of the founders of rock and roll Jerry Lee Lewis. Mother worked as an English teacher.

The creative education of Aubrey was taken by his father, and the religious – by the mother: in the family of a Jew and a Catholic, the boy was brought up according to the Mosaic Law. He attended a Jewish day school and had a bar mitzvah ceremony.

When Aubrey was 5 years old, her parents divorced. He stayed with his mother in Toronto, while his father returned to Memphis, Tennessee, where he spent several years in prison for drug trafficking. Due to financial and legal restrictions that the arrest imposed on Dennis, he did not see his son until he came of age.

Until the 6th grade, Aubrey and Sandra lived in the working class district of Toronto, in 2000 they moved to the wealthy Forrest Hill area. In his youth, the rapper played in the youth hockey team “Weston Red Wings”.

While attending Forest Hill Collegiate Institute High School, he developed a passion for the arts. Aubrey’s racial and religious affiliation was often the reason for ridicule and bullying from classmates, so the young man moved to Vaughan Road Academy. Incessant harassment and a burgeoning acting career drove Aubrey out of school. The musician was educated in October 2012.

Music
Young Drake began his creative career as an actor. When the Canadian turned 15, a school friend introduced him to his father, who was working as an agent. He arranged for the young man to audition for the series “Degrassi: The Next Generation.” Aubrey was cast as Jimmy Brooks, an unreleased basketball star.

The sports career of a high school student was ruined by an accident – once at a party, a classmate shot him in the back, which left Jimmy in a wheelchair, paralyzed, with no chance of recovery. Having overcome the crisis, the young man devoted himself to music.

Acting became for Drake not a way to realize his ambitions, but a necessity: Sandra became seriously ill and could not provide for her son. The only income that the Graham family had was Canadian television. Aubrey starred in Degrassi: The Next Generation until 2007, appearing in a total of 145 episodes.

Jay Z and hip-hop duo Clipse inspired Drake to create his debut mixtape “Room for Improvement” (2006), which includes 17 original tracks and 5 remixes. The recording features American rappers Trey Songz and Lupe Fiasco. The disc sold 6,000 copies.
