Drake White is a guy who has a clear vision about who he is as an artist and what kind of music he wants to create, and he once even said, “As long as I have somebody telling me I have to do something, I’m not gonna do it.” He doesn’t want anybody to confuse his stubbornness with arrogance. He says, “I’m not really arrogantly sayin’ it, it’s just I believe that a man is supposed to be free in creative stuff and the best things happen when you’re given the freedom to do whatever you wanna do, whenever you wanna do it, however you wanna do it. So, that’s what the quote is.”
Drake says his goal every day is to wake up in the morning and say, “Alright Lord, what am I gonna do today to help other people and to help me be healthier?”
Look for Drake’s debut single on Dot Records coming soon.

Drake White – not be told what to do :32
“I read that quote when it came out and I was like, ‘Ah, it makes me sound kinda like I’m kinda arrogantly sayin’ that’, but I’m not really arrogantly sayin’ it, it’s just I believe that a man is supposed to be free in creative stuff and the best things happen when you’re given the freedom to do whatever you wanna do, whenever you wanna do it, however you wanna do it. So, that’s what the quote is, it’s, wake up in the mornin’ and say, ‘Alright Lord, what am I gonna do today to help other people and to help me be healthier?’ So, that’s the basis behind that.”
