DREW
Hailing from Novato, California, a town located in Marin County, North of San Francisco, Drew Gasparini blends percussive strumming with fast paced lyrics to create a signature, Folk/PoP/Rock sound. As a child, Drew embarked upon his artistic journey by performing in musical theatre, and learning the fundamentals of playing the drums, bass, piano and guitar. Growing up in a household where his mother was a music teacher and his father, a Zeppelin induced drummer, Drew naturally gravitated towards spending his teenage years performing in an array of garage bands and school-wide choir ensembles. Influenced by such industry artists who include Dave Matthews, The Beatles, Jason Mraz and The Gin Blossoms, Drew began writing songs as a method of attracting girls, and later, continued the craft as a testament to the conversational thoughts and ideas that frame his daily existence. In May of 2006, Drew released Small Thoughts, an EP that was recorded at Broken Radio Studios. The EP spawned the success of two smash-hit singles, If You Walked Away, as well as, Im Not that Special. Garnering radio airplay on independent stations located in Los Angeles and San Francisco, Drew recorded and produced the original, cast album of, Crazy, Just Like Me; a musical that has become a staple of Drew's artistry. The success of the compilation led Drew into releasing a follow-up EP in 2008, OverBoard. The project garnered accolades for the Drew Gasparini catalogue, as singles, Stuck In La and Overboard, received recognition from fellow listeners and fans.
To promote his music to the masses, Drew has taken center stage at a slew of venues across the country, always making it a point to stop by to play in his home state, California. His artistry continues to be refined as he transcends every stage showcase into a live pairing between the audience and himself. Drew takes pride in connecting with his fans by teaching them harmonies and involving them in every spectrum of his concert presentations. Ultimately, Drew wants to solidify himself as a recording artist by signing to an indie label. This experience would lead Drew into securing licensing deals with an array of television, film and media conglomerates. As Drew's star continues to shine, he also aspires to have his musical, Crazy, Just Like Me, stamped in musical theatre history. From childhood music lover to independent musician, Drew Gasparini is on the pulse of contemporary acclaim.
