Drake White grew up in Alabama, and he actually attended Auburn University, but he admits he is an Alabama fan when it comes to college football. Drake says, “I was raised by the most die-hard Alabama fan in the world, Mr. Jack White, my late Grandfather, and he raised me. Every Saturday we would go over to the house and watch Alabama play football, every Saturday.”
When Drake was choosing a college, he preferred the more laid-back atmosphere of Auburn, where he actually live in an early 1900’s cabin that he rehabbed out in the woods. He says, “I got to be out in nature and go to school, get an education and so that’s why I went to Auburn, but I remained an Alabama fan.”
Drake is working on his new album, which he hopes to release in late spring or summer, featuring his latest single, “Livin’ the Dream.”

Drake White – Alabama Auburn :41
“I was raised by the most die-hard Alabama fan in the world, Mr. Jack White, my late Grandfather, and he raised me. Every Saturday we would go over to the house and watch Alabama play football, every Saturday. Then, when it got time to go to school, Auburn was more my speed, as apposed to Tuscaloosa. Tuscaloosa’s more city life type thing and Auburn’s kinda out in the sticks, they say. But, I redid a cabin that was built in the early 1900’s and that’s where I lived while I went to school at Auburn, so I got to live out in the woods, got to be out in nature and go to school, get an education and so that’s why I went to Auburn, but I remained an Alabama fan.”
