Solo Drew is a rising artist from Queens, NY whose sound is as original as his story. With a choppy flow, island-influenced vocals, and a style that defies comparison, he’s carved out a lane entirely his own. The name Solo Drew reflects that individuality, an artist who doesn’t see many, if any, doing what he does. Music has always been a part of his life thanks to his father, but it wasn’t until age 19 that he took it seriously. Faced with a personal crossroads, he chose his passion over a draining job and hasn’t looked back since.

His sound pulls from a wide range of influences, including Hip Hop, R&B, Soca, and Dancehall, shaped by his Caribbean roots and American upbringing. Every track carries a mix of pain, passion, and precision, and his process is just as fluid. Some days start with a beat, other times with a bar or just a vibe. Inspiration comes naturally, drawn from life, the people around him, and the world at large. While he’s always evolving, Drew admits he’s his own biggest critic and rarely feels like a song is ever truly finished.

He approaches music as both a craft and a business, fully aware that being an artist also means being an entrepreneur. That balance was once a challenge, but with time and research, he’s embraced both roles. On tracks like “RWANDA,” a lively, danceable anthem created with longtime collaborator Altmadara, he shows he’s just getting started. For Drew, music is a calling, not a hobby, and fans can feel that truth in every lyric.

When he’s not making music, he’s likely watching Marvel or DC films, or unexpectedly vibing out to Julia Michaels. But when asked what he’d do if he wasn’t making music, the answer is simple. Nothing else. This is his purpose, and he’s all in.
