Drake was born in
Ontario where he began his acting career by starring as a character in the
sitcom Degrassi: The Next Generation. After
the show, Drake began to focus on his music career and released his
first mixtape called “Room For Improvement” in 2006. Since then, Drake has
caught the eye of both hip hop and R&B stars as he was deemed the “Savior
of Hip Hop”. Opting to take a deal with Universal, after a bidding war, Drake is clearly poised for a long triple-threat laden career.
